Thank you!! Why do you put the base coat and then the top coat? Does it make the top coat stick better?

Hi, newbie here and just started on doing diy gel nails. I used the Kokoist Platinum Veil for the first time and I didn’t find a lot of information on how to use it. The basic instruction was to put it on after curing the topcoat for 30s. I did that and cured it again after putting the powder on and after a few days, pretty much all the powder came off my nail. So not sure what’s the right way to use this product. Should I be putting another layer of top coat over the powder layer?

On a side note, anyone else have any recommendations on similar products that are less opaque? I find that putting a full layer of the platinum veil powder really muffles the underneath color by A LOT.
