    Its debatable whether cheap polish will stain your nails, or if good polish won’t stain them. The simplest thing to do is to apply one or two coats of a good quality base coat prior to applying any nail polish. And yes, part of what a base coat does is prevent staining on the natural nails. It also serves as sort of a double sided tape in that it provides a sticky surface for the polish to adhere to. This results in longer lasting polish by helping to prevent chipping and flaking. Lastly, base coat will make the polish apply more smoothly which is a good thing! Like I said though, use a good quality base coat. Inferior quality/cheap base coat products are a waste of money and will not work very well. Also, many people believe that clear polish can be used as a base coat. Clear nail polish is not base coat. They are two different products. Clear polish will not provide the same sticky surface as a base coat does. When most clear polishes dry, they are usually quite shiny. Nail polish doesn’t adhere very well to shiny, non-porous surfaces.
    I know, this is more information than you asked for. I’m just trying to help, that’s all. Best wishes.

    Cheap dark colours like purple and black can stain your nails a yellowy colour, so a lesson: don’t wear cheap nail polish|!!

    If you use cheap nail polish it may stain
    So I suggest using better brands like Revlon and
    Chi Chi. I paint my nails all the time and it does not stain at all! Just make sure you do not use cheap brands! Hope this helps

    Nails are more likely to stain with darker polishes so i recommend using a base coat if you use darker colours.
