In wrap maintenance, the process of applying resin to the fresh nail growth is known as what?

• A. Backfill
• B. Fill-in
• C. Overlay
• D. Finish

Answer: (A)

Backfill is the term for replenishing resin at the base where the wrap meets the natural nail during maintenance. As the nail grows, a gap appears at the cuticle area, and applying resin to the fresh growth secures the wrap, strengthens the bond, and helps prevent lifting. This focused replenishment keeps the wrap durable without removing and reapplying the entire wrap. An overlay refers to applying resin over the whole nail for extra reinforcement, not just the new growth; a fill-in is a more general term and not the standard wording for wrap maintenance; a finish is simply the topcoat seal and shine, not the replenishment of resin at growth.
