TOPCOAT & BASE COAT

Essentials for a successful manicure and pedicure, whether you're using gel polish, UV gel, or classic nail polish.

What is a Top Coat?

Often referred to as a finishing gel, it is the perfect final touch to give your nails intense shine and lasting protection. It protects the color of your gel polish from external aggressions, such as UV rays and impacts, while keeping the luster of your nails for several weeks. Whether for a French manicure, a nude style, or brighter colors like red, pink, or purple, a top coat is essential for a glossy finish and flawless nails.

What is a Base Coat?

It is applied before the color to smooth the surface of the nail and prevent the pigments in the polish from dulling or yellowing your natural nails. It creates a protective barrier against pigments and facilitates the application of color. Using a base coat before each polish application is crucial, as it enhances the adherence of the polish, prolongs the duration of your manicure, and protects the health of your nails.

How to Apply Top Coat or Base Coat?

1. Nail Preparation: Make sure your nails are well-prepared and clean.
2. Applying Base Coat: Apply a layer of base coat to protect your nails and improve polish adherence.
3. Color Layer: Apply two coats of your favorite color.
4. Top Coat: Finish with a layer of top coat to seal the color and add shine or a matte effect.
5. Curing: Each layer should be cured under a LED/UV lamp for quick drying and long-lasting wear.
6. Personalized Finishes: Choose between a glossy, matte, or even glittery top coat according to your desires to personalize your manicure.
