Top Coat. Base Coat. What’s the point?
The point of top and base coats when polishing your nails, is that they not only protect your nails from the varnish you are using, but also help to extend the life of your nail polish. Base and top coats are always required when properly polishing your nails. They are just as necessary as the two coats of colour you paint on. Many companies have built on the basic requirements and uses of base and top coats, that some now clam to dry quicker, entice rapid nail growth, whiten, harden, to be chemical free, and can support MP3s, to boot! But seriously, the most basic essentials of these two requisite coats are:
Base Coat - to smooth the nail surface and to add a colourless protective varnish layer to protect your nail from the colour pigments in nail polishes that can stain (particularly your reds, fuchsias, and darks).
Top Coat - to add shine to your nail polish and to seal in the layers forming a tougher, fade and chip resistant polish.
Beyond that, it’s just a matter of what added optional extras you fancy in a base and top coat.
