Which of the following steps would be performed during an acrylic maintenance procedure?

  1. Apply new product over wet primer

  2. Clip away lifted product

  3. Cure product with a UV lamp

  4. Smooth down ledge of existing product

The correct answer is: Smooth down ledge of existing product

During an acrylic maintenance procedure, smoothing down the ledge of existing product is a crucial step. This process helps to ensure a seamless appearance between the existing acrylic and the newly applied product. By carefully smoothing the transition, nail technicians can create a uniform surface that improves the overall look of the nails and allows for better adhesion of any new enhancements applied afterward. This step is essential for maintaining the integrity and aesthetics of the acrylic nails since it prevents any visible gaps or uneven areas that could lead to lifting or separation. Overall, it contributes to the long-term durability of the acrylic application and enhances the client's experience by providing a polished and professional finish.
