What should clients avoid before getting acrylic nails applied?

Clients should avoid applying nail polish before getting acrylic nails because the presence of polish can create a barrier that interferes with the adhesion of the acrylic materials to the natural nail. This can lead to lifting and a less durable bond, ultimately affecting the longevity and appearance of the acrylic nails. Ensuring that the natural nails are clean and free from any products maximizes the effectiveness of the application process and results in a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.

While other choices may have varying degrees of impact, the application of nail polish is particularly critical to address because it alters the nail surface in a way that is not conducive to proper acrylic application.
