Personally I have never done dip nails or acrylics, though I know others that enjoy them. If you are aware of the issues w/ dip manis (not sanitary, bonding resin is main ingredient in Krazy Glue, removal takes time, harsh & damaging to nails & skin) and are ok with them, then yes you can apply a top coat as often as you wish. Top coating often will extend the life of any mani. Typically my manis last 2 weeks if I don't change them sooner. Longer if I use a glitter, flakie, or micro glitter polish. IME a base coat, 2 coats polish, and top coat of any decent brand can last weeks if you cap your tips & wear gloves while washing dishes, cooking, gardening, etc.

Thanks Sandra; my post was actually from over a month ago. The powder manicure I got was sanitary since the powder was poured into an individual cup to use on my nows. But you are right, removal was a PITA! I probably wouldn't do it again for that reason.

More about hair...what to do with those wiry grays?
I'm thrilled to see more women going gray, a nice silver lining (pun intended, haha) of the pandemic!
I actually stopped coloring my hair back in 2019 so it could go gray naturally. At the time I didn't have many grays, but I think the past 18 months has given me a lot more. Still, I'm only 5-10% gray. I don't mind it, but what I definitely DON'T like is that the coarse, wiry gray hairs stick out straight from my scalp - and the rest of my (still brown) hair is fine and super-straight! Any ideas how to manage this? I have been trying to condition more, but if I over condition, it makes my fine hair even limper. I could try a product that I would apply more directly to the grays (which are mostly at the top of my head), but some products make my scalp itch, so I would have to be careful with that, especially since I'm not sure what ingredient is the trigger. You all helped so much with my skin care woes that I am hoping you can help with this too; TIA!
