I used this as a base coat then followed with opi polish finishing with Sally Hansen's new speed shine 10 day topcoat. My index finger had a chip within hours of applying. The others soon followed....

I used this as a base and top coat, with three layers of color applied in between and plenty of drying time allowed between each new coat. Everything seemed to be going okay until I got to the top...

I guess I'm the minority here too because I actually really like this product. I am the master of doing my own nails and my manicure lasted a full week, touching up only once. I like the fast dry...

What bubbles? This dried to a high shine and I got no bubbles on my nails when I used this. I like how quickly this dried! I love it!

ARGH! I wish I'd read the reviews first! This was full of tiny bubbles and it made my nail color wrinkle and shrivel. The best way I can describe it is that it looks the way paint looks when you...

Oh! Haha...I'm alone in that I like this product. I use it as a base and sometimes as a top coat. My manicures last a for a full week, I have no problems with it at all.

I guess since I've had the same experience, I'll chime in. I get bubbles with this, too. :( Feh. It made my (compared to previous attempts) nice-looking DIY french mani look Weird. And now...

Same experience as everyone else -- this totally bubbles every time for me! I thought it was just me, or my particular bottle. Not buying again.

Each time I tried this it left bubbles. I thought I must be doing something wrong (?) but then I read the other reviews and found that IT WASN'T JUST ME!! Won't buy this again....

I too found that it left bubbles when I used it. It also did a poor job of protecting my nails from chipping. I had better success with Sally Hansen->Age Correct No Chip Base + Top Coat.

I was also disappointed. It left little bubbles and chipped off in 2 days.

What a disappointment. This thing dries out before I have a chance to do the nail right. The streaks don't even out. I did one hand with this and the other w/ my favourite, Rimmel stronger base...
