After base coat, how many coats of colored polish are applied?

• A. One coat
• B. Three coats
• C. Four coats
• D. Two coats

Answer: (D)

Two coats of colored polish are typically applied after the base coat. The first coat lays down the pigment and helps the color adhere to the nail, but it’s usually translucent. The second coat builds the color to full opacity and creates a smooth, even finish. One coat can leave streaks or patchiness, while more than two coats can feel bulky, take longer to dry, and chip more easily. So, two coats give reliable color coverage and a durable surface before sealing with a top coat.
