I got this free with the purchase of the Seche Vite fast drying top coat (which is my hg top coat). I hate this base coat. My nails chipped much faster than usual, and I tried it with several...

I'm apprehensive to give the Crystal Clear Base Coat such a low rating, especially since others seemed to have like it, but it just isn't working for me. It is very clear, as the name suggests, and...

Seems to work fairly well. I got this for free at my local Sally's with the purchase of Seche Vite topcoat. This stuff dries instantly and helps provide a smooth canvas for nail polish. Would...

My favorite base coat! I don't like their super fast dry top coat at all but I never apply polish without this underneath. I also use it as a natural nail look as it leaves my nails looking...

Got it free w/purchase of the quick-dry top coat at Sally Beauty Supply. No sense in purchasing it, though. Doesn't prevent chipping-- all the layers of polish, including basecoat and some weak...

I love it! Best base coat ever used. Helps prevent yellow stains from polish, dries fast, makes polish last longer on nails and fills in ridges. $7 at drugstores, easy to find, and lasts...once...

I love this! It dries instantly and it completely prevents yellowing, even with the darkest polish I own. It's a little hard to remove and I think it may even be a little drying, so I'm going to...

I grabbed this meaning to get the top coat and I used it for one manicure before exchanging. This did make my nails smooth for an even and non-streaky coat, but this mani only lasted 1 day without...

I use the Seche Base Ridge Filling Base Coat and I love it -- it's my holy grail base coat. It's very effective at making my nail smooth and ridge-free, and I also like that the white frostiness...

This review is for the clear base coat. My sheer shades tend to streak when I use this as a base.

I think these are some of the best top/base coats I've ever used. The base coat drys quickly and does a really good job keeping my nails from turning yellow. Not 100%, but pretty close. The top...

I love this base coat! (Mine specifically is Seche Base Ridge Filling Base Coat) I do not wear sheer polish of any type, so the milky pearl doesn't interfere with my colored polish. It dries quick...
