Which tool may damage the nail plate and break the seal when removing a tip?

Nail buffer
Nail file
Nippers
Orange stick

The correct answer is: Nail buffer

Using a nail buffer on the nail plate can damage the surface and potentially break the seal of a tip, making it more prone to lifting or breaking. A nail file, nippers, or orange stick are not typically used in the removal process of a tip, but can be used for shaping or correcting the natural nail. The most appropriate and gentle tool to use when removing a tip is a nail buffer.
