  intro: "The three-coat system is not a convention. It is an engineering sequence. The base coat is an adhesion layer — it bonds to the nail plate and gives the pigment something to grip. The colour coat carries the pigment and the visual result. The top coat seals, protects, and determines the finish. Each one serves a different function, and each one fails in a predictable way when it is applied incorrectly or skipped. The detail most people omit is edge capping: running the brush across the free edge with each coat. Edge capping is where chips begin. A manicure that chips at the tip within 48 hours almost always skipped this step.",

    body: "Base coat creates a bonding surface between the nail plate and colour. Without it, pigment sits on oil-prone keratin and lifts within days. Colour coat is two thin layers, not one thick one — thin layers cure faster, adhere better, and chip less. Top coat seals colour from above and determines finish: glossy, matte, or gel-effect. Each coat requires a thin, even application and a cap stroke across the free edge. Thick applications of any coat prolong dry time and increase the chance of denting.",

    { m: "A base coat is optional if the colour is pigmented enough.",

    { m: "One thick colour coat gives the same result as two thin ones.",
      t: "A thick single coat takes significantly longer to dry fully, is more prone to bubbling, and chips in sheets rather than small nicks. Two thin coats cure in sequence and build coverage without the problems." },
