In the context of toe nail service, a base coat refers to a specially formulated polish that is applied to the nails before the colored nail polish. Its primary purpose is to create a smooth surface for the nail polish to adhere to and to protect the natural nails from staining or discoloration caused by the colored polish. The base coat also helps to improve the longevity of the manicure or pedicure by preventing chipping and giving the colored polish a solid foundation to adhere to.
