Proper application of nail polish starts from?

  1. The center of the nail plate

  2. The bottom of the nail plate

  3. The side of the nail plate

  4. The tip of the nail plate

The correct answer is: The side of the nail plate

Applying nail polish starting from the center of the nail plate or the bottom will result in an uneven and messy application. Starting from the tip may cause the polish to pool and create a gloppy look. Applying from the side of the nail plate allows for better control and a smoother application. It also helps to avoid getting polish on the cuticles.
