I don't understand the hype about this product. The packaging is beautiful, but it's the only good think that I can say about it. It did not protect my nails from discoloration by Chanel's...

I read some stellar reviews about this base coat and it seems sensible to me that the base coat is a very important step. One that does not increase peeling or breakage is something I continue to...

Although reasonably quick drying and, at first, generally smooth to apply, this product became somewhat gloopy over time. So, in the end, a disappointment despite initial positive results.

An excellent product. Have been using it lately and am surprised to find a base coat that surpasses many products that specialises in just nail products. I have nails which are constantly splitting...

My ultimate base coat so far. Over the years, I have gone through a huge number of base coats including OPI Nail Envy (I know it's a 'treatment' and not a base coat but what the hell, I've used it...

I like to paint my nails, so they tend to get yellowly (gross, I know). Heard great things about this base coat, and was sold by the anti-yellow claims. So far, I like it. I hate the packaging...

I was using Sally Hansen Nail Quencher before this but compared to that, Chanel protective base coat is in a class of it's own. My nails don't split, stain or peel, this base keeps them...

Wear a lot of dark nail colours and it always protects the nail well resulting in no staining and minimalises chipping:-)

I absolutely LOVE this base coat. I have been looking for a base coat and top coat that would make my manicures last for one week. I hate having to paint my nails more than once per week. I keep...

This base coat is amazing and makes my manicure last longer than usual. I took out one lippy as the price is too expensive here in Malaysia ($60+), so I don't think I'd repurchase.

I learned the hard way that it doesn’t matter what nail polish you have on your nails, if you have a cheap base coat the entire manicure will chip or PEEL off your nails in a few days.Chanel’s...
