What can a corrosive acid-based primer result in?

• A. Stronger adhesion
• B. Skin irritation
• C. Longer-lasting nails
• D. Enhanced color retention

Answer: (B)

A corrosive acid-based primer can lead to skin irritation due to its chemical properties. Acid-based primers are often used to improve adhesion by creating a rough surface for nail products. However, they can also be harsh on the skin and nails, especially if they come into contact with delicate tissues or skin surrounding the nail area. This irritation can manifest as redness, itching, or even chemical burns if exposure is significant or prolonged.

In contrast, while acid-based primers are effective for adhesion, they do not inherently contribute to the longevity of nails or enhance color retention in the same way a protective topcoat would. Thus, while these qualities might be advantageous in a nail service, they are not direct results of using a corrosive acid-based primer.
