Nail Polish: top or bottom coat- does it help?

my nail polish chips pretty quick in 5 days tops its gone


so which one helps top or bottom coat?


i don't want to spend money so will wallmart brand work?


and do you need both coats?Nail Polish: top or bottom coat- does it help?
Basecoat prevents your nails from turning yellow from painting the too much.


Topcoat is to help the nail polish stay on longer.


So the topcoat will help.


Yeah, the Walmart brand is fine.


You dont need both coats but its better if you use them.Nail Polish: top or bottom coat- does it help?
well the bottom coat is to protect ur nails from getting like permently colored and harmed by the chemicals in the nail polish. the top coat is to protect from chipping. I would recomend Sally Hansen Hard as Nails. You can put it on over ur polish and it hardes it.


Hope this helps! =D
i think top coat because it protects the nail polish. walmart brand would work fine. i dont think u need both coats
