Many people often ask us why do professionals always apply a top coat over gel nail polish. That is why we decided to write a post to answer the importance of applying a topcoat.
Top Coat For Gel Nails:
Applying a top coat over gel nail polish is essential as it helps to seal in the color and protect your nails from any damage.
Most gels come with a shiny finish that is often dulled after curing them in the UV or LED lamp. The topcoat helps to restore the shine back on the nails. It makes your polish last longer and protects your nails from staining.
A topcoat is only added to gel nail polish after you put on your base coat, color, and “cure” it under UV light. A topcoat is not a requirement for putting the polish on, but it can help your nails look like they were done professionally.
A topcoat can also help protect the color of your nails from chipping or peeling. If you want to use a topcoat, you should make sure that it is made specifically for gel nail polish. You will also want to cure this coat under UV light so that it will last longer.
Conclusion:
If you want your nails to last, you will want to apply a topcoat. A topcoat is designed to protect the polish underneath and prevent it from chipping or wearing away. A gel topcoat will not chip or wear away, which is why it is so popular. You can find a gel topcoat in any beauty supply store.
