    Very good for a drugstore base coat. I like the slight shimmer, it makes this one of my favorite 'clear' polishes to use on lazy nail days. It does prevent staining if I use two thick coats. Worth...

    Love this product! I use it alone as a polish on my hands because I like a clean natural look. People ask me if I got my nails done when I use it. I love the slight hint of glitter which is barely...

    I love this product! I bought it a few weeks ago and have been using it ever since. My nails grow really quickly but usually break really easily. I'm really hard on my hands as I do a lot of...

    This product is not "dirt cheap" in Australia, but it's under $10AUD, which is cheap enough considering the cost of most cosmetics in this country. I like the slight pink tinge and almost...

    This is a great simple base coat. It's cheap and it does the job well. It also looks lovely on its own as it has super tiny glitter specs throughout!

    I really love this stuff. It dries really quickly, is very glossy and lasts for more than one day. Which on me is a miracle, cuz no polishes last even 24 hours on me (fiinger nails) so I loooove....

    This is a pink-tinted base coat that is surprisingly glossy. It also (for some reason) has pink super-micro-glitter. So it looks pretty good on its own if you like a low-key, natural look. It has a...

    This is a solid base coat: it leaves a shiny nude finish and dries relatively quickly. Plus it's about $3 at Walgreens, when it's NOT on sale. Good product.

    This stuff is amazing!! I absolutely love Rimmel nail products but this is probably the best nail strengthener/base coat I've ever tried. It actually hardens my nails and I don't get chips or...

    Love it. Like many of the reviewers are saying, just as good as Nail Envy, only BETTER because it's way cheaper! Great with 60 Second Top Coat. Walgreens is having Rimmel on sale for BOYO,...

    This is a great product & affordable too!! You can use it as a base coat & I’ve found it to prevent any staining after I used dark polish. But to be honest; mostly I use it by itself. It gives a...

    Nice on its own but I find it a bit iffy as a base coat as sometimes it makes the polish peel off. I've found this using it under MAC and Chanel polishes particularly, which don't peel off on their...
