Not for me

I have been searching for a great base coat, but this was not it. I have naturally hard, fast-growing nails, but they are very dry and brittle. I also needed a base coat that would protect them from my constant painting. I heard good reviews about this product, so I bought it. Unfortunately, it increased the dryness of my nails, making them more brittle. Also, my nail polish soaked right through ...read morethe base coat and stained my nails. After I stopped using the product, it took awhile for my nails to go back to normal. Now I have over half of a bottle and I don't know what to do with it.

Awesome.

Goes on smooth, makes your polish last for days beyond the usual.

Great base-coat!

This base coat does exactly what it says it will. It improves the overall strength of your nail, as well as helps with chipping and breakage. Many other basecoats that I have tried haven't lived up to the strength that they have promised, but this one will. It gives your regular manicure a little something extra, and it goes a long way!

Very Good

It's a good base coat that protects your nails from the polish.

Worth the money

I have brittle nails, and found that this does help with keeping the polish on, and my nails haven't chipped since using this product! I did notice that my polish does take a little longer to dry, but it is worth the wait.
