What can be added to a nail tip for added strength?

  1. Polish

  2. Acrylic

  3. Overlay

  4. Base coat

The correct answer is: Overlay

Adding a polish, acrylic, or base coat to a nail tip will not necessarily add strength. These options may improve the appearance of the nail, but will not provide any additional structural support. An overlay, on the other hand, is a thin layer of gel or acrylic that is applied over the entire nail, including the tip, to give it added strength and durability. This is especially helpful for those with weak or brittle nails.
