Base Coat Nail Polish FAQs
Start with properly prepped nails and apply one thin, even layer. This gives your color something solid to stick to and helps prevent chipping, because nobody's out here trying to chip a fresh mani on day one.
True nail primer creates a cross-linking adhesion and is typically part of professional systems like acrylics, where the product actually bonds to the nail for extra sticking power. Base coat works differently: it preps and protects rather than bonding at that level.
Base coat builds the foundation for your color. Top coat seals it in and gives you that final finish. High-shine or
matte
, your call.

Reach for a strengthening formula, like
Nail Envy® Nail Strengthener
,
Start to Finish 3-in-1 Treatment
, or
Natural Nail Strengthener
.
