Better together! Apply Essence's The Gel Polish Base Coat, a color gel coat, and then finish with The Gel Nail Polish Top Coat to protect, seal, and provide long-lasting, impeccable shine. Not tested on animals. No DBP, toluene, or formaldehyde.

I am currently on my 4th (5th?) bottle of this base coat, as it has become a staple in my nail regimen. The biggest reason for that is because this base coat has actually improved the quality and con...Read more
