What type of nail polish is used to add shine to the nail?

Base Coat
Top Coat
Dry Nail Polish
Cuticle Oil

The correct answer is: Dry Nail Polish

The appropriate type of nail polish used to add shine to the nail is a top coat. A top coat serves as a protective layer applied over the colored polish, enhancing its glossiness and providing a glossy or shiny finish. This layer not only increases the aesthetic appeal of the manicure but also helps in extending the wear of the nail polish by preventing chipping and fading. Base coats, on the other hand, are applied before the colored polish to create a smooth surface for application and to protect the nails from staining. Dry nail polish is not a standard term used in nail care; it generally refers to the process of allowing nail polish to dry rather than a specific product that adds shine. Cuticle oil is used to moisturize the cuticles and skin around the nails but does not contribute to shine on the nail surface itself.
