A base coat protects the natural nail from staining (especially important with red and dark polishes) and gives the polish better adhesion. A top coat seals the color, adds shine, and significantly extends the chip-free wear period. Together they can add several days of extra wear to a regular nail polish manicure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; padding:11px 0; font-size:1em; font-weight:500; line-height:1.5;\"\u003eCan I use the GLOSS Lacquer Top Coat over gel polish?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding:0 0 12px; margin:0; font-size:1em; line-height:1.6;\"\u003eNo. GLOSS Base \u0026amp; Top for Nail Polish are regular (non-gel) lacquer products and are not designed for use over gel.
