ORLY's bonder is perfect as just a normal basecoat but works beautifully as a sticky layer for nail stamps. I do reverse nail stamping a lot and sometimes, by the time I'm done colouring in the stamp, my base colour on my nails has dried and the stamp won't transfer over easily, but if you add a layer of Bonder, it's just sticky enough for the stamp to go on perfectly on your nails. If I'm stamping on to my naked nails, the Bonder basecoat stays sticky long enough between first applying to being ready to stamp, so that I don't have to add on another layer of basecoat. I have used plenty of basecoats and I would recommend Bonder every time.
