Yesterday I was laying about watching television and someone rang my door buzzer. But I didn’t get up to answer it, because I was tired and it was in the middle of _Star Trek: TNG_. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by OpalCat \* > \*\*What exactly is a top coat, and what purpose does it serve other than making the nail polish so thick that it peels off easily? \*\* A top coat is a layer of clear/sheer nail polish which (in theory) protects the main color coat. It does help prevent chipping. I generally don’t wear colored nail polish, so I don’t bother with a different color for top/bottom coats. ---
