When polishing the nails, wrapping the polish around the free edge:

• A. Helps prevent chipping
• B. Makes polish dry faster
• C. Causes uneven finish
• D. Does not affect wear

Answer: (A)

Wrapping the polish around the free edge seals the tip, creating a protective barrier against daily wear and micro-chipping. This edge coverage helps the manicure last longer by reducing where the polish can lift as the nail flexes. It doesn’t make polish dry faster, and when applied evenly it won’t cause an uneven finish. The benefit you’re aiming for is durability and chipped-edge prevention.
