Before nail polish is applied, the nail plate should be free of?

Oil and debris
Moisture
Any color
Base coat

The correct answer is: Oil and debris

Before applying nail polish, it is necessary to have a clean nail plate. This means that it should be free of any oils and debris. Moisture, color, and base coat may interfere with the adherence of the nail polish and affect the overall finish and longevity of the manicure. Therefore, these options are incorrect as they would not provide a suitable surface for the nail polish to be applied. Other factors, such as filing the nails to the desired shape and buffing the nail surface, may also be necessary before applying nail polish.
