For a successful pedicure, what is commonly required before applying polish?

Foot massage
Removal of old polish
Cutting nails
Oiling cuticles

The correct answer is: Removal of old polish

For a successful pedicure, the removal of old polish is a crucial step before applying new polish. This process ensures that the surface of the nails is clean and prepared for the new application. Old polish can create an uneven surface and may affect the adhesion of the new polish, leading to chipping or peeling. By removing the old polish, you can also check the health of the nails and ensure that there are no underlying issues such as discoloration or damage. This preparation allows for a smoother application of the new polish, which enhances the overall appearance and longevity of the pedicure. While a foot massage, cutting nails, and oiling cuticles are all important elements of a comprehensive pedicure, the removal of old polish is specifically necessary to set the foundation for applying fresh polish effectively.
