What is the role of a top coat in gel and acrylic systems?

To color the nail To shorten cure time To remove moisture To seal the surface, add shine, protect against chip wear, and improve durability; cured to set

Correct Answer:

To remove moisture

Explanation:

The top coat in gel and acrylic systems is the protective finishing layer. Its main job is to seal the surface, add a high-gloss shine, and guard against chips and wear, which together boost the durability of the nail. Once applied, it’s cured to set, giving the surface a hard, smooth, long-lasting finish. It isn’t meant to color the nail, shorten cure time, or remove moisture—its purpose is to protect and enhance the overall look and longevity of the engineered nail.
