This is my favorite gripping base coat. For my nails, this helps to hold the polish on the best. (I've tried several, including Orly Bonder and CND Stickey.)

Such an amazing base coat. This has definitely extended the wear of my nail polish, which does not last very long on me at all. This combined with Seche Vite is the ultimate combination to long...

Wow! A base coat that actually works at prolonging the life of my nail polish application! I normally only use base coats because I wear a lot of reds and I don't want them to stain my nails. But...

Great base coat that works with other brands as well. Nail polish just seems to adhere very nicely to this. I don't get staining when I use this either. Seems to really protect my nails, which is...

I use this every time. I use it as a top coat too, as well as a base coat. Is a must with China Glaze polishes.

Definate HG product for me. I had worn acrylic on my nails for years, not for length, but because polish stays on them so much better. I went back to natural nails, and I found this base coat. ...
