Question: 1 / 400

Which product would you use to prevent polish from staining the nail bed?

Top coat

Cuticle oil

Base coat

Using a base coat is essential for preventing polish from staining the nail bed. The base coat creates a protective layer between the natural nail and the colored polish, helping to minimize the potential for the dye in the polish to penetrate into the nail plate. This is particularly important with darker or more vibrant polish shades, which can often leave a residue or discoloration on the nails if applied directly.

When applied before the color polish, the base coat not only provides this protective barrier but also helps in extending the wear of the nail polish, improving adhesion and preventing chipping. Thus, incorporating a base coat into the manicure routine is a proactive measure to maintain the natural appearance of the nails while enjoying colored polish.
