What is the purpose of using a nail primer?

To increase shine
To enhance color
To promote adherence
To moisturize

The correct answer is: To promote adherence

Nail primer serves a crucial function in nail enhancements by promoting adherence between the natural nail and the artificial material, such as acrylic or gel. When applied, it creates a more porous surface which helps the nail enhancement products bond securely to the nail. This ensures that the artificial nails adhere properly and do not lift or separate prematurely, leading to a longer-lasting manicure. The other options focus on aspects like shine, color enhancement, and moisturizing, which do not align with the primary function of a nail primer. While a good manicure might incorporate products that enhance shine or color, these do not reflect the specific purpose of a primer. Moisturizing effects are also associated with other types of nail care products, rather than a primer itself.
