  • Great
Great base layer, holds manicure for about a week and half, nails are in good shape

  • Excellent Product!
My nails are still on the thin side, but after using this product consistently for nearly two years, I’m finally able to grow nails that last.

  • Strong Start Base Coat
I’ve been using this base coat polish for a few months, I wanted to give it bit before writing a review. So far, I really like it. Not too thin, or thick. Makes my polish last, doesn’t dry my nails out and fills the ridges well. My only complaint would be the brush, it feels cheap and plasticky. The bristles seems to separate while painting it on. It’s no big deal though, I still enjoy it and would definitely recommend. ... show more

  • New favorite base coat
STONG START. Goes on a little thick so apply lighter coat. Dries pretty quick, seems self leveling. Polish attached nicely. Makes nails feel very strong, the base coat is pretty glossy so I might even consider wearing 2 coats and going natural. Best base coat I have found in a long time. Finish off with SPEED SETTER! Best top coat ever!!! ... show more

  • Great until it isn’t
I loved this base coat as I just like clear nail polish on my natural nails, but it is almost impossible to get off with just remover. I ended up having to file the top of my nails to get it off completely.

  • Love it
This goes on easily, dries quickly and lasts longer than others I’ve tried.

  • Essie lover
Big fan of Essie. But they aren’t consistent on their product. The last one was slightly pink
