Now I know your supposed to put on one or two coats of your color then a clear top coat. In my situation I only have a tiny bit of top coat left in the bottle that the brush can hardly reach. I want to know if I can just mix the nail color and little bit of top coat and still get the glossy nails effect?Nail polish top coat?
ya, i think you can, that's a good ideaNail polish top coat?
Nail polish top coat is meant to protect the colour so it lasts longer without chipping or scratching. The shine is just a bonus (if you're wanting shine). I don't know how your nails will turn out if you mix the colour and top coat. You might change the colour of it but it might work so try it and if it turns out like crap, just take it off with remover and buy a new top coat. [:
No, I don't recommend u mix the polish together... You are better off just going to your local drug store and buying a top coat. They sell good ones for about $2 or so.. You wouldn't want to damage the color and have nothing after.. If u mix then u would not get the glossy effect. and when u top coat it, do it twice. When I do my nails ppl are always asking me if I went to the salon.. I laugh n say NO! I did them myself. Two clear coatings works best ;]
Thin the top coat out with some nail polish remover... it'll make more for you to use and it will dry faster.
yeah, i think that would be ok, but first see if you can shake the bottle to get some on the brush, if not, it would be fine to mix it. Hope this helps :)

Why is the top layer of my nails pealing?
They just started doing it recently. Also, they have a lot of ridges, if this helps you at all. Why is the top layer of my nails pealing?
I'm thinking it's probably:
Onychorrhexis
Refers to Split, Peeling or Brittle nails that also have a series of lengthwise ridges. It can be caused by chemicals, injury to the fingers, excessive use of cuticle solvents, nail polish removers. This condition may be corrected by softening the nails with a reconditioning treatment.
I have my nail clients use Sensitive %26amp; Peeling Nail Envy
Formaldehyde-free formula protects against peeling with antioxidant Vitamin E and Kukui Nut Oil, soothes sensitive nails with Aloe Vera.
I hope this helps you!
Why is the top layer of my nails pealing?
its most likely to mean that your nails are weak. biting your nails will cause this. let them grow then cut them if you bite them
i have the same problen expect only with my pointer fingers, my sister said it might be from painting my nails too often
because you paint your nails so much the chemicals wear down them down.

Nail polish: can the top coat be used as a base coat?
whats the purpose of the base coat?
can a top coat polish substitute for a base coat?
is it better to use no base coat than use a top coat in place of it?Nail polish: can the top coat be used as a base coat?
I always like to have a base coat. It is probably fine to use your top coat stuff as your base.
A base helps adhere to the nail - color adheres, and sometimes lasts longer.
Base coat,
two thin color applications
top coat
I apply the top coat every other day to make the polish last.Nail polish: can the top coat be used as a base coat?
A base coat is harder, but you can use top coat as a base. The manicure without base coat is more likely to chip, that's all. Also, a dark top coat can stain some nails...a clear or matte base coat prevents this.
Base coat prevents your nails from turning yellow from the polish and it makes the nail polish last longer. It's better to use base coat vs. no base coat, when I get lazy and don't use it, my nail polish chips off in about 2 days.
Find one that's base coat AND top coat combined, that's the one I use. It's ';Sally Hansen Maximum Growth plus Base + Top Coat.';
I hope this helped :]
Base coats have two purposes. One is to seal out the natural oils from your nail bed so it doesn't interact with the nail polish preventing it from adhering well. This is why polish chips and peels. The other is to prevent darker nail polish from staining your nail bed if there is no barrier in between the two. You should try ';Crystal Shield'; Base Coat from Kolibre Cosmetics. It really helps your nail polish stay on longer. And then finish with ';Victorian Glass'; Top Coat for an amazing shine!
