When applying a nail tip to a client with bitten nails, which part should be blended?

When applying a nail tip to a client with bitten nails, blending the position stop is essential for creating a natural look and achieving proper adhesion. The position stop is where the nail tip meets the natural nail, and blending this area ensures that the transition between the tip and the natural nail is smooth and seamless.

If the position stop is not blended well, it can create an obvious line or ridge that may not only look unattractive but can also lead to lifting or separation of the tip from the natural nail. Proper blending here helps the nail technician customize the length of the nail extension and provides a more aesthetically pleasing finish.

Other areas like the free-edge, nail bed, and cuticle area do not require blending in the same way. The free-edge is the part of the nail that extends beyond the fingertip; blending is not typically needed there. The nail bed is the underlying skin, which should remain untouched during this process to maintain health. The cuticle area is related to the skin at the base of the nail and isn't the appropriate spot for blending when applying a tip. Therefore, focusing on blending the position stop is crucial for the overall success of the nail enhancement on clients with bitten nails.
