How should a nail form fit to the natural nail during application?

A nail form should fit snugly under the natural nail during application to ensure a proper seal and support for the enhancement being created. This snug fit allows for the correct shaping and contouring of the artificial nail, helping to achieve a natural look while also providing the necessary stability during the curing process.

When the form fits correctly, it allows for even distribution of the product and helps prevent any lifting or issues with adhesion once the enhancement is applied. A properly placed form contributes significantly to the overall quality and durability of the finished manicure. In contrast, other fitting options such as being loosely at the edges or flat against the skin can lead to poor results and potential problems with the nail enhancements.
