It is very important to use a good basecoat before painting your toenails. I recommend OPI base coat and OPI top coat. I take my base coat and my top coat to my bi-weekly pedicure appointments. My toenails are always painted a bright red and I never have stained nails. Sometimes in the summer I like to get a french pedicure with flowers painted to my toenails. If my nails were stained, I wouldn't be able to do this. Always use the base coat, then then apply two coats of red polish and then one top coat. If you want to have really shiny toes, let the top coat dry and then apply one more topcoat.
