It isn't a manicure without a final layer of transparent nail polish. The step may not seem like much but a top coat actually works as a barrier between your nails and polish-damaging elements like bumping into things and opening jars. Chipped, smudged polish is the worst enemy of any manicure and a good top coat is a simple way to prevent the fate of your nails from going the same way. The next time you paint your nails, finish off with a top coat like one of these to get a manicure that stays flawless for longer without chips or smudges.
