Gauze squares in manicure services are commonly used for which tasks?

• A. Buffers Nails
• B. Nail Shaping
• C. Cuticle Trimming
• D. Product Removal And Application

Answer: (D)

Gauze squares provide a controlled, lint-free way to handle liquids during a manicure. They’re ideal for removing old polish or nail enhancements by soaking with acetone or nail cleanser and wrapping or wiping, which helps dissolve residue without leaving fibers on the nail. They also allow you to apply cleansing or dehydrating solutions precisely, or to dab away excess product during the service. Tasks like buffing, shaping, or trimming cuticles rely on other tools (buffers/files, and cuticle nippers or pushers), so gauze isn’t used for those. The main use of gauze squares is the removal and application of products and liquids on the nail.
