The present technology provides a nail coating system suitable for improving a nail plate. The nail coating system includes an oil-based serum and a base composition. The nail coating system may further comprise a UV/LED composition. In use, the oil-based serum may be applied directly to a nail plate without first cleaning the nail plate with alcohol and/or acetone. The oil-based serum coat may fill in any crevices in the nail plate and restoring sebum and water on the nail plate. After the oil-based serum layer is buffed into the nail or dried, the base composition may be applied. After the base composition dries, the UV/LED composition may be applied and cured. Next, a user may apply a nail polish and/or a top coat to the UV/LED composition. The nail polish and/or top coat layer may be removed with traditional nail polisher remover while still maintaining the original coatings of oil-based serum, a base composition and a UV/LED composition. A new nail polish and/or top coat may thereafter be applied to the UV/LED composition.
