This really is quite bad, and a base coat has to be quite bad for me to write a bad review on it.

This really is quite bad, and a base coat has to be quite bad for me to write a bad review on it. At first I thought it was good as it is milky and even on it's own under a top coat makes the nails appear quite nice and whiter. However, after using it several times I have noticed it does 2 things it dries out my nails and also makes my nail polish peel off. I have better lasting performance and all round better results with Rimmel 60 Seconds Clear it has a fabulous large and rounded brush head, dries very fast and stays on my nails longer, WITHOUT drying my nails out. Thus proving the case that more expensive is not always better. I am only scoring it a 1 because as an actual Base Coat, it is next to useless, and certainly the worst base I have ever used.

Ok, so I may not be the best person to review this.

Ok, so I may not be the best person to review this. I don't do my nails often, and I usually just swipe on a nail color no base or top coat I like things short, sweet and easy when it comes to doing my nails. I bought this base coat to wear under Essie's Naughty Nautical to avoid green stains on my nails. Without the base coat, this polish goes on smoothly and is super easy to apply, it's a pleasure to use ...but WITH the base coat, application is a lot more difficult, it applies streaky and it sort of skips the way liquid liners do sometimes. I haven't tested for wear time but it keeps stains to a minimum although I still get some stains. This base applies easily but overall I dislike it it I've used it a few times now and it just makes doing my nails really annoying and my nails turn out better when I don't use it. So for a casual nail polish wearer, I'd say skip this one. It might be great for those who do their nails often and are more experienced.

This base coat destroyed my nails, totally.

This base coat destroyed my nails, totally.When I put this on as a base coat, my nail polish just crackles away, and later on I learned that protein in nail polish works by dehydrating the nail, thus making it stronger.For some people it will make the nails too dehydrated, and make the polish last less.This also stained my nails, after a months use I had yellow nails, and I never have stained nails.I am back to using a regular clear polish from Sante as a base coat, and my nails are better now, and my manicure lasts much longer than with this.Formadelhyde in nail strengtheners works the same way as protein, by dehydrating the nail.

Its a great product.

Its a great product. I never used a base coat previously but now after reading that not all nail polishes are "3 free" I was looking for a good top coat. My nails are not brittle or weak. They are just normal healthy nails. So I just needed something that would help my nail polishes last longer. I didn't notice any chipping until the 3rd day, which is good enough for me since I paint my nails every week! So this is a new HG product for me. Its a little expensive but hey, if it works I don't mind spending the money!

Bought this as a healthier alternative to Quimica Alemana.

Bought this as a healthier alternative to Quimica Alemana. After about a month of use, my nails are constantly splitting and chipping. I don't think this is any more effective than a clear coat.
