I like to wear nail treatments solo to see how they perform—currently wearing this base coat, although I've used it for years. I prefer nude nails, so the subtle clear/off-white hue this adds...

This really is quite bad, and a base coat has to be quite bad for me to write a bad review on it. At first I thought it was good as it is milky and even on it's own under a top coat makes the nails...

Ok, so I may not be the best person to review this. I don't do my nails often, and I usually just swipe on a nail color - no base or top coat - I like things short, sweet and easy when it comes to...

This base coat destroyed my nails, totally. When I put this on as a base coat, my nail polish just crackles away, and later on I learned that protein in nail polish works by dehydrating the...

Its a great product. I never used a base coat previously but now after reading that not all nail polishes are "3 free" I was looking for a good top coat. My nails are not brittle or weak. They are...

Bought this as a healthier alternative to Quimica Alemana. After about a month of use, my nails are constantly splitting and chipping. I don't think this is any more effective than a clear coat.

So luckily I bought this for about £2 or I would be annoyed that I had wasted my money. Having read the good reviews I thought I would give it a try but this product is not for me. My nails aren't...

I love this product. And i don't love it for its strengthening, but i believe it really made my nails grow , and it makes sense because it says protein on it, my nails are a bit stronger but I'm...

OK! This is my HOLY GRAIL nail product. It's just ridiculous that I like it so much when I wasn't expecting a miracle like others have stated. So, my nails peel and chip and break are stained and...

I bought this after being dissatisfied with OPI base coat. My nails were brittle and peely and driving me crazy. This definitely helped making them stronger and less prone to peels. However,...

My favorite thing about this base coat is that it dries quickly. My polish wears for a reasonable amount of time with it on, and I don't have to wait forever for my base coat to dry (anyone else...

I am enjoying this base coat. It applies evenly in a very thin layer and dries very fast which really helps the overall drying time of my mani. I did notice that the polish lasts at least a day...

Ah, my relationship with this product is complicated. I love it. It's great! My nails are so shiny and smooth after applying this base coat. However, it is simply not cost-effective for me. I have...

Ok, so I wasn't expecting a miracle product when I bought this. I just wanted something to make me feel better about wearing polish on my nails 24/7 when it was obviously making them yellow and...

When I was at Ulta's, I was browsing through the clearance section and came across a box of Essie's "Good To Go" top coat, with a mini bottle of this base coat, and decided to try them both out....

I loved this product at first, but after a month, it started getting somewhat goopy. =/ Then the base coat made it difficult for me to put on my polishes smoothly. But maybe it was just my bottle.

I bought this product while looking for a good base coat. It was okay-priced, but I love how smoothly it goes on my nails. I've worn the same polish for two weeks, with no chipping. Definitely will...

Gosh I love this stuff! My nails peel away in layers (like mica sheets) and are generally weak and thin. This has turned them around in a matter of a few applications! I changed my polish daily,...
