What might happen if you put a nail tip that is too small on a nail plate?

When a nail tip that is too small is applied to a nail plate, it may not have sufficient coverage or adhesion to the natural nail. This can lead to the tip popping off because it is not securely attached or because it does not cover the entirety of the nail, which is necessary for a strong bond. The improper fit creates vulnerabilities during everyday activities, leading to stress on the bond between the nail tip and the natural nail, resulting in detachment.

While the other options might seem plausible in different contexts, they do not accurately reflect the immediate consequence of using a nail tip that is too small. The focus on detachment emphasizes the importance of ensuring that nail tips fit properly to maintain the integrity and durability of the manicure.
