Why should I use a basecoat and topcoat on my nails?

Basecoat and Topcoat for Nails

When polishing your nails don't skip the basecoat or topcoat! Be skeptical of a product that says they contain all three! A basecoat is a tacky, non-shiny coat that prevents the colored polish from discoloring your nails and helps the colored polish to adhere to the nail surface. Following up with a top coat ensures shine and protection for your new manicure!
