I do my nails myself. Always. Even acrylics. I use this as a base coat for natural nails because it fills in ridges from my acrylic nails. I also use this as a first top coat for hungry glitter-bomb m...Read more

After years of salon visits for acrylic nails, SNS/powder-dipped manis, and gel manicures, I've decided to go back to natural nails. Currently they're in pretty rough shape - very thin and weak, with...Read more

I know that while some products work wonder for some people they do not work for others. This one is no go for me. Pros: - great formula, slightly thickening the nail and makes it oh so even. Better ...Read more

I've learned after experimenting with this product for a few years now, that it works best on my nails as a base coat, and not as a top coat. It really does help my manicure to last longer when used ...Read more

This is a game changer for me. I have soft ,bendy nails that would cause nail polish to peel easily. I wouldn't bother painting my nails because it would only last a day. Now since using this followin...Read more

I highly suggest this base coat. I bought it as a no-animal testing alternative to Essie All In One. I like it for a couple reasons: it dries fast but leaves a slightly tacky surface for nail polish...Read more

I was tempted to buy this for years. Not for the "faux gel manicure," but because shine and for glitter smoothing since I love my glitter polishes. Recently I finally bit. As a glitter smoother, it's...Read more

I love this stuff! Gives me a shellac look without the price. You do have to layer. It's super cheap at Sally's for only $5. My manicure lasted for almost 10 days! You should add this to your nai...Read more

This product is amazing! For those of you who want a DIY gel manicure, this is it. First and foremost, for those of you ONLY using it as a top coat - DON'T. It doesn't work well that way. What you sh...Read more
