What is the primary risk associated with improper nail enhancement application?

The primary risk associated with improper nail enhancement application is pain and potential injury to the nail bed. When nail enhancements, such as acrylics or gels, are not applied correctly, they can cause lifting or improper bonding with the natural nail. This can lead to pressure and stress on the nail bed, potentially causing pain and irritation. Moreover, if the enhancements are applied too thickly or if the wrong products are used, this can exacerbate any discomfort.

In addition to pain, improper application can lead to other complications, such as infections due to moisture trapping or damage to the natural nail. This highlights the importance of following proper application techniques and hygiene practices in order to maintain both the health of the nails and the comfort of the client.
