    • Excellent Base Coat!
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Apricot,Clear
I love Essie base coat, polish, and top coat so much that I take my own to the salon when I get a manicure. These products are such beautiful quality that I never want to use any other products on my nails. Most nail products contain many harmful ingredients such as formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. These harmful ingredients are absorbed into our bloodstream. Essie does not contain these harmful ingredients, so they are much safer to use. I'm very happy with how long my manicure lasts. Essie products make my nails stronger and healthier than any other product. And this product is vegan. ... show more

My nails were in awful shape after using gel polish for years. After doing a lot of research, I used several products for the past month, and thankfully, the peeling has stopped. I did additional research and Essie Nail Care, Base Coat is part of the next step in maintaining nail health. This base coat dried quickly and allowed me to apply polish easily afterwards. ... show more

Review Image by Lissa
This is a very clear, shiny, polish base. I do not see any evidence of yellowing and it has stayed on my nails for several days. It seems to have decreased the amount of splitting and breaking my nails are suffering from. The polish base goes on smoothly and easily. It is light and adds a thin coat of protectant to my nails. I am pleased with this purchase and I believe the value for the cost is worth it. ... show more

    • Strong Start Base Coat
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Apricot,Clear
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
