Base Coat
A base coat is a type of nail polish applied before the color polish. Its primary purpose is to create a smooth surface for the color to adhere to, helping to prevent chipping and extending the life of the manicure. Base coats often contain ingredients that protect the nails from staining and damage caused by colored polishes.
In addition to protection, base coats can also strengthen nails and improve their overall appearance. Some formulations include vitamins or other nourishing ingredients. Using a base coat is a common practice in nail care, contributing to healthier nails and a more polished look for manicures and pedicures.
