Where should the tip be blended when a practitioner applies it during a nail enhancement?

The blending of the tip during a nail enhancement is essential for creating a seamless and natural-looking extension. The contact area, also known as the position stop, is the part where the tip connects with the natural nail. Properly blending at this location ensures that there is no visible demarcation between the natural nail and the tip. This integration not only enhances the aesthetic appearance but also helps in providing a stronger bond, reducing the risk of lifting or separation over time.

By focusing on the contact area for blending, the practitioner can achieve a smooth transition from the natural nail to the enhancement, which is crucial for creating a polished and professional look. Ensuring that this area is well-blended allows for better adherence of the overlay products and contributes to the overall durability of the nail enhancement.
