Do you need a base coat and a top coat? I can't find an option for a top coat.

Yes, you need both a base coat & top coat. I use the top coat by gellish :)

Yes, you need both a top coat & a base coat for this product. You can use any brand top or base coat. I have an all-in-one base/top coat by Christrio.

I use top coat to apply them and apply another coat over them to keep them on.

I would recommend buying the base coat, too. The top coat may peel off if you don't use the base coat first.

I got a base coat. If you are looking forward to the colors you see you will not get them I got a lot of glitter polishs & doubles

Sorry, misunderstood question, yes, after all layers are done, use an alcohol pad to remove that tacky later. You should be able to use structure with our without base and top coat. I do not have top coat on my nails right now because my tech is doing art work for me so I just left the structure as a clear coat over natural nails for now.

I use it as a base coat. I don't put it over my color, though. I don't know if that would make the product more effective if you did.

You're likely putting it on too thick...I had the same issue. You want a very thin coat.

I highly recommend a finish coat. Not required, but once dirty impossible to clean without re-sanding and re-finishing. You can get a flat or satin finish if you don't want gloss.

I suppose you could, but it's better as base coat since it has keratin in it. I put nail polish over it and finished it with a top coat.

Nope. That is the direction only for when you wanna use it as base coat. It is true that the nail tek foundation is good for base coat because it make the surface of nails matt. But You don't have to use polish. It depends on what you wanna do with this.

You need to make sure you are following all the steps. Are you roughing up the nail before the polish and are you making sure your nails are clean and sanitized before you add adding your base coat? Are you using a clear structure base coat before you use the color polish? All of these steps are important if you want the color coat to stay. You should be adding a final top coat with the correct clear top coat as well.

You'll want to put the base coat on first, that's the one with Part No. J361SAG040BC. Apply a couple coats of that, 2 or 3. Then apply the top coat, part no. J361SAG040TC. Also a couple coats of that. Make sure you wait 20-30 minutes between coats of both base & top.

I believe the instructions indicate applying a coat every day for up to X days. If you use it with a polish at some point, it's applied as a top coat daily. It makes for a horrible base coat though.

To make it more durable and prevent wear and tear, nicks and chips and to give it a "finished" look. Top comes in different gloss shades. In high traffic areas (such a kitchen cabinets) it is recommended to use at least 3 layers of top coat.
