Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a top coat and regular nail polish?
A top coat is designed to seal and protect, while regular nail polish provides color. Top coats act as the final layer of a manicure, helping extend wear and enhance the finish. Key differences include: top coats create a protective barrier that helps prevent chipping, peeling, and dullness; nail polish delivers color and coverage but does not offer the same level of protection; top coats can add shine, a matte effect, or added durability depending on the formula. Using a top coat is essential for maintaining a polished, long-lasting manicure.
How long does a top coat last on nails?
LONDONTOWN top coats are designed to last up to a week, depending on your activity level and application method. In general, LONDONTOWN top coats help protect polish for up to 7 days, reapplying a thin layer every few days can help refresh shine and extend wear, and pairing a top coat with a compatible base coat improves overall longevity. LONDONTOWN top coats are formulated to maintain clarity, shine, and protection throughout wear.
Which top coat should I choose for my needs?
The right top coat depends on the finish and performance you’re looking for. Consider high-shine top coats for glossy, dimensional depth, matte top coats for a modern velvety finish, fast-drying formulas to reduce dry time, and protective or strengthening top coats for added durability. Each LONDONTOWN top coat is designed to enhance both the look and wear of your manicure.
How often should I reapply top coat?
Reapplying top coat every 2–3 days helps maintain shine and protect against chips. Best practices include applying a thin layer to refresh gloss or matte effect, focusing on the tips to reinforce areas prone to wear, and avoiding thick layers which can affect dry time. Regular reapplication keeps manicures looking fresh.
Can I use a top coat over gel polish?
Yes, certain top coats can be used over gel polish to refresh shine between salon visits. Apply only once gel polish is fully cured, choose a compatible formula designed for traditional polish wear, and use gentle removal methods to avoid disturbing the gel layer. This can help extend the look of gel manicures without a full redo.
What makes LONDONTOWN top coats different from standard formulas?
LONDONTOWN top coats are designed to be both protective and treatment-minded. What sets them apart includes botanical-powered formulas that support nails during wear, multiple specialized finishes for different preferences, and 21+ free formulas. They are designed to elevate the manicure experience, not just finish it.
How should I apply LONDONTOWN top coats for best results?
For best results, apply over nail polish that has set for 1–2 minutes, use a thin even layer while sealing the free edge, and allow proper dry time before resuming activities. This helps ensure a smooth finish, extended wear, and a polished final look.
