Why top coat is applied to the nail polish?


Nail artists and beauty bloggers often insist that you must apply a top coat on your nails after applying polish. It is also suggested that you use it after doing nail art to seal the design. The reason behind it is to increase the life of nail polish and nail art. If you will not apply topcoat, your polish will start chipping away in a couple of days. However, with a top coat on it, the shade can stay for more than 5 days. 

Similarly, when you apply nail art, the design will seem seamless. It will last longer, otherwise, the pattern will start fading in a couple of days. Applying a single layer of topcoat helps the design to look fresh and vivid with evenness. 


The colors pop up with a nice topcoat. And you can even create different looks using different kinds of topcoats. There are matte topcoats, glossy topcoats, glitter topcoats, and eggshell topcoats. You can use any of them for your nail polish and nail art.

Other uses of topcoat


Topcoat is not only used for making nail polish shine. You can use it in other ways as well. Use topcoats to stick glitter on your nail polish. This is the best way to make the polish look beautiful and a quick nail art look. Another way is to use a topcoat for placing rhinestones and embellishments on the nail. 


Using different kinds of topcoats, you can create unique looks with single nail polish. Similarly, you can use all these ideas for giving your nail art a new look. Apart from all this, a topcoat is also used as a basecoat to protect natural nails. 

You can also create a new nail polish using a topcoat and eyeshadow powder or any other pigment powder. Mix the powder in the clear topcoat and shake the bottle well. It is this simple to create new colors.
