Nail Polish Top Coats

To make a beautiful manicure is nowhere near as difficult as further maintaining its original neat appearance. A huge role in the perfect result plays nail polish top coats, a product that must be selected carefully. Just a few strokes of the brush after applying a coloured base can easily extend the life of a manicure and make it flawless.

Practice shows that the durability and ideal appearance depend not so much on the characteristics of the colouring product but on the quality of the finishing agent. Even when applying a durable composition, the nail polish top coats remain one of the main guarantees of a beautiful result. 

Due to the peculiarities of its formula, the last layer is capable of creating a durable film, which protects from possible chips and cracks and provides a perfect shine. It protects the coloured formula and can give it a glossy or matte finish. If glitter or other decorative materials are used, then the fixing composition fixes them firmly on the surface.

Types of nail polish top coats

Basically, finishing products are of the following types:

• Regular fixers;
• Fixers for gels;
• Fast-drying nail polish top coats.

The most popular ones are the transparent products presented in a traditional glass bottle with a brush cap. The trend of recent years is a product that combines the properties of a fixing agent and a dryer. These compositions usually come in the form of a multifunctional spray that is applied evenly over the entire surface of the plate or a liquid fixer that is applied with a pipette.

Which fixer to purchase depends on personal preference. The main thing is to understand that this product is necessary to guarantee a decent look of manicure and pedicure.

Nail polish top coats can be matte and glossy. The first one must not be applied after levelling over the glossy formula. Otherwise, it will chip. If it is necessary to combine different textures in one manicure, then after the glossy one, the dispersion is removed, then the coating is sanded, and only after that, the matte composition is applied. 

The matte formula allows you to get such an effect with any finish. It looks best in dark colours. Saturated tones look impressive in the matte version: grey, fuchsia, black, emerald, indigo. Such a product masks mini-scratches on the coating, but unfavourably emphasizes the natural irregularities of the plate. Before colouring, it must be carefully levelled.

Another type of nail polish top coats is with shiny particles, shimmer, or glitter in the composition. Such products are used to create original designs. If you want a design with a beautiful overflow, then you can use a holographic finish. For a cat-eye design, a special composition is applied over the colour, and then a glare effect is obtained using a magnet.
