What is 'the well' in the context of nail tips?

  1. A spa treatment for nails

  2. The nail tip meets the free edge

  3. A deep cleaning nail solution

  4. The base coat application method

The correct answer is: The nail tip meets the free edge

In the context of nail tips, "the well" refers to the area where the nail tip meets the free edge of the natural nail. This is an important area to keep clean while applying nail tips, as it helps to create a seamless bond between the tip and the natural nail. The other options listed are incorrect because a spa treatment, deep cleaning solution, or base coat application method do not specifically refer to the area where the nail tip meets the free edge.
