I recommend a clear base coat if you're going with a darker color, so that it doesn't stain your nails. Also, OPI makes a kickass polish that doesn't chip as readily and some of their colors are lovely. It's more expensive, but you only need 1 or 2 coats instead of 3 or 4 for the same coverage. So it depends on how long you plan to keep your nails polished, I suppose.
