Which nail product is used to improve adhesion of UV and LED gels?

Dehydrator
Nail primer
Top coat
UV gel polish

The correct answer is: Dehydrator

The correct answer is nail primer. Nail primer is specifically designed to enhance the adhesion of products applied to the natural nail, including UV and LED gels. By preparing the nail surface, the primer creates a suitable environment for better bonding, which ultimately helps to ensure that the gel products last longer and are less likely to peel or lift. While a dehydrator is important for removing moisture and oils from the nail surface, it does not specifically improve adhesion in the same way that a primer does. Top coat serves as a protective layer over finished nail enhancements but is not meant to enhance the stickiness of the underlying products. UV gel polish is the gel applied over the nail but does not play a role in enhancing adhesion either. Thus, the primary function of nail primer makes it the best choice for this particular question.
