What is the bonding agent used to securely attach the nail tip to the natural nail?

Glue
Bonding agent
Adhesive
Polish

The correct answer is: Adhesive

The bonding agent used to securely attach the nail tip to the natural nail is best described as an adhesive. Adhesives specifically formulated for nail tips are designed to create a strong bond that ensures the nail tip stays in place during wear. This type of product is typically a cyanoacrylate-based formula that hardens quickly and provides durability to the nail enhancement process. In this context, while glue may seem like a plausible choice, it does not provide the specific characteristics and properties needed for nail application. Nail polish is used for color and finish on either natural nails or enhancements but does not serve as a bonding agent. The term bonding agent is more generic and could refer to various substances, but in the nail industry and for this specific application, the term adhesive applies best as it directly refers to products designed to securely bond nails.
