There are some nail polish companies that will sell you something different for both the base coat (under the nail polish and the first coat on the nail) and the upper coat (over the last coat of nail polish) but in actuality, you only need one - a transparent nail polish to protect the nail as the base coat, and again as the upper coat to hold off the chipping/fading.
Don't get suckered into paying more for two types of products. If you're concerned abou the nourishment of your nails, get a treatment instead, rather than waste money on getting base/upper coat.
Plus, with transparent nail polish, it has many other uses, such as to coat the back of cheap earrings if you have sensitive ears, or to paint over tiny screws such as for sunglasses so they don't fall out so easily.
Hope this helps!

It's base coat and top coat. Base is first applied after the nail is buffed, to adhere the colour, and top coat is to seal and help the nail dry-while keeping it shiney! ;)

Base coat is to prevent nail color from seeping into the nail bed and causing discoloration (yellowish tinge) and upper coat is to seal in th color and prevent it from early chipping

confident I DO try this. the clarification is easy. in case you want your nails to be wholesome yet yet on a similar time seem superb, in case you want your nail polish to final longer, then you definitely try this. in case you do not care, then, purely shop doing what you're doing. the backside coat prevents your nail from turning yellow. each so often, once you employ colours like purple, or brown, once you sparkling off your nail polish, your nail turns into yellow. And while that occurs, there is not plenty you're able to do approximately it. So, prevention is extra appropriate than therapy isn't it? And your colour coat, nicely, i assume it speaks for itself. As for the precise coat, the clarification being is that it purely prevents your nails from chipping, so which you would be able to shop your nail polish longer. I recommend c'mon, chip nail polish isn't the nicest sight to work out is it? And back, it would not help your nails the two, cos chip nail polish ought to depart a mark on your bare nails, and back, prevention is extra appropriate than therapy appropriate? the clarification people do all those "difficult" issues is through fact they might the two look after the nails, study it off some attractiveness magazine and settle directly to stick to it, or they purely want to maintain their nail polish on their nails longer. i assume it somewhat is extra sturdy for you cos once you're doing all your nails, you're doing something else besides. yet, the main important element that I study is BE loose. Do it on your spare time. depart an hour purely to do your nails. That way, you have got nails that are wholesome AND final for better than a week. purely to function to the "troublesomeness", in case you want to maintain your nail polish longer on your nails, paint a precise coat each 2 nights! Haha, jk, you seem a hectic lady. So, could be you need to attempt placing time to do it? And if an hour is purely too long, attempt some tricks to have your nail polish dry speedier, you need to purchase those nail polish that drys in a minute, or people who helps your nails dry speedier, OR what I do is that once I paint my nails, air dry for 30 seconds, the I soak my nails in ICE chilly water, for yet another 30 seconds. and then air dry for a minute. Your nails might dry quickly like that. until you positioned so plenty extra coats, then could be it would take an prolonged time. yet that's what I often do. and prefer the announcing is going, "attractiveness comes with a cost"!
