What does effective nail polish application NOT include?

Applying polish in uneven strokes
Using base coat prior to color
Applying top coat after color
Ensuring proper drying time

The correct answer is: Applying polish in uneven strokes

Effective nail polish application is characterized by smooth and even strokes, which contribute to a professional finish. When polish is applied in uneven strokes, it leads to an inconsistent look, with some areas potentially having more polish than others. This can result in streaking, patchiness, and an unfinished appearance, making the nails look less polished and more unkempt. In contrast, using a base coat prior to color is essential for protecting the nails and improving the longevity of the polish, while applying a top coat after color enhances shine and helps prevent chipping. Ensuring proper drying time is also critical to achieving a flawless application and avoiding smudges. So, while all the other options contribute positively to effective nail polish application, applying polish in uneven strokes detracts from it.
