I use about 4 coats of this on its own. I work as a nurse & am constantly washing my hands. This stuff stays on for days with minimal chipping. I am so impressed! A few people have asked me if my nail color is gel. It stays shiny like gel. Doesn't last as long as gel does but for me, it lasts longer alone than combined with regular polish. I have put Essie light pink colors over this & it does chip after a day of work. Alone, it's awesome!

This product is amazing. I am a server so I am constantly washing my hands and damaging my nails. This base coat keeps my polish looking perfect for about a week. I'll be able to see my new nail growth at the cuticle before my polish chips. It prevents the nasty yellow color that can occur from polish. I use this without a top coat and it still does great at keeping my nails looking great. Absolutely love this product.

Very good for weak nails, alone or as a base coat. Worn alone it has a pale white color that makes nails look healthy and clean.

Comments:

I was first introduced to this base coat while getting a manicure in Las Vegas. I asked the manicurist about it and she told me that it's a protein base coat, and she uses it all the time. I loved it immediately. The white tint is a nice change from the basic clear coats. My manicure lasted weeks without chipping; the only reason I had to remove the polish was due to new nail growth. I purchased this base coat a week ago at Ulta, and put it on my nails the same night. I didn't even use a nail color with it because I like how healthy it made my nails look right away. As of today, there is no chipping, and my nails still look great and feel strong. This is definitely going to be my new go-to base coat.

I bought this just to have a basic base coat to keep my nails from staining and peeling as much but when I actually started using the product I got so much more from it than that! This is a great little product and even if you don't like to paint your nails colors all the time just a little swipe of this on every so often will definitely benefit you. My nails grow so much faster with this or maybe it's just that they aren't breaking so often because I am rough on my hands. It keeps my nails from peeling and staining and they feel stronger and aren't breaking as often. Great little product for the price!

The protein base coat gave my nails a ton of strength!! Also, I am VERY hard to my hand and my nails, so chipping is very common for me. BUT, this base coat really saved my nails and I went a whole week without a chip!! I have paired it with Essie nail polish only, but I'm sure that it would be great with others too. Also, I have used it strictly as a base coat.

Comments:

I've been using CND Stickey with Seche Vite. I switched to Essie because my nails were drying and peeling from the CND Stickey. I can't speak to how well they treat my nails but this base coat is awesome in terms of how long it lasts. I paired it with Out the Door top coat and I am going on day 5 with one tiny chip that is barely noticeable. I have used Seche Vite and NailTek base coats which chipped immediately, but this stuff is great. I will up date as to whether it keeps my nails healthy, but so far this will be my go to base coat...!

Needed a base coat so that I can keep my nails from staining and getting dried out. After applying, my nailpolish stayed on without chipping for a week until I had to take it off because of regrowth. Love it!
