What technique should be used to remove material evenly on nail enhancements?

• A. Long strokes with light pressure
• B. Single heavy pass
• C. A series of stiff, irregular strokes
• D. Scratching with nails

Answer: (A)

To remove material evenly, you want a gentle, consistent approach that spreads abrasion across the surface rather than concentrating it in one spot. Long, smooth strokes with light pressure keep the contact area steady, so the enhancement is thinned evenly and heat from friction stays low. This gradual, even feathering helps you avoid creating dips, gouges, or thin spots and preserves the natural nail underneath. Using heavy pressure or choppy, irregular motions can quickly remove too much in some areas and leave an uneven surface, while scratching with nails isn’t safe or effective for controlled removal.
