What is a Top Coat used for?

We often hear mention of a Top Coat but here is a product which we don’t really know much about. What is it, what types are there and how do we use it?… so many questions, the answer to which may sometimes appear vague. To provide you with more information on the subject, and to enable you to achieve a manicure with a better and lasting result, here is what we can tell about the Top Coat.

A Top Coat: What is it?

The Top Coat is the last step of your manicure. Whether you are seeking to achieve a natural look or you prefer coloured nails, the Top Coat is the perfect finish to your nail look.

With an ultra-fluid and transparent texture, the Top Coat is applied over your polish, the Silicon Top Coat taking care of and enhancing your nails.

The Top Coat improves polish hold, provides intense shine, and reveals the full depth and intensity of the shade. The fine layer applied to the nails protects the polish from daily minor scratches and impacts and extends its durability.

The Top Coat can be reapplied a few days after applying your polish to restore shine.

It is the last essential layer for an intense and long-lasting manicure.

Top Coats for a trendy and fun look!

Conventionally transparent and shiny, the Top Coat sometimes comes with different effects to transform your nail polish result. The Top Coat can be applied on the nails to provide a matte film for an ultra-trendy finish, very elegant, pearly, or even lend a creative finish to bare or polished nails, with a glitter Top Coat such as the Nail Art Perfection Nail Polish.

You may also want to change nail polish without necessarily having the time to redo your manicure from scratch. With the stroke of a brush, special effect Top Coats transform the appearance of your polish for a brand new manicure.

And how is a Top Coat applied?

There’s nothing easier! The Top Coat is applied over your dry varnish like your usual varnish. One layer is enough and its fluid texture provides for very easy and even application, without damaging the polish.

Feel free to reapply a layer every day or two to revive the colour of your polish or change how it looks with a matte, frosted, glitter or gel-like Top Coat.
