Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Polygel/Acrygel
Polygel/Acrygel offers an odorless, pre-mixed formula that is easy to sculpt and cures under LED light, meeting all the client's requirements.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Dip powder systems involve dipping nails into powder and using an activator, which is a different application process and does not involve sculpting before curing.
- C. Traditional acrylics have a strong odor and require liquid monomer and powder polymer mixing.
- D. Gel wraps typically involve fabric wraps with a resin/gel overlay, not a pre-mixed sculptable product.
