What is another name for the nail tip adhesive used to secure the nail tip to the natural nail?

• A. Activator
• B. Deglazer
• C. Solvent
• D. Bonding Agent

Answer: (D)

Bonding agent describes the material that actually sticks the nail tip to the natural nail. It serves as the adhesive layer that creates a secure bond between the natural nail plate and the tip, often applied as a primer-like product before placing the tip so it adheres firmly. An activator speeds up curing for some glues but isn’t the adhesive itself, a deglazer removes shine prior to bonding, and a solvent is used for cleaning or removing products. So the term that best names the nail tip adhesive is bonding agent.
