The additional layer creates a protective shield that strengthens your nails and helps them absorb the colored nail polish evenly and smoothly. A carefully applied base coat lays the foundation for a stunning nail design that will stand the test of time.

The art of application

The art of applying nail polish lies in mastering the right layer thickness. It may be tempting to apply a thick coat to quickly achieve the desired color, but the key to a long-lasting and flawless finish lies in patience. Apply nail polish in two or three thin, even coats rather than one thick, uneven one.

While this careful approach may be a bit more time-consuming, the flawless, long-lasting result will reward your patience and more than justify the effort.
