5.0 out of 5 stars So far best base coat I have found...! June 18, 2011
By Betty A. Ludwig
I've been using CND Stickey with Seche Vite. I switched to Essie because my nails were drying and peeling from the CND Stickey. I can't speak to how well they treat my nails but this base coat is awesome in terms of how long it lasts. I paired it with Out the Door top coat and I am going on day 5 with one tiny chip that is barely noticeable. I have used Seche Vite and NailTek base coats which chipped immediately, but this stuff is great. I will update as to whether it keeps my nails healthy, but so far this will be my go to base coat...!

Update: I have been using this base coat under my polish for about a month now. My nails are back to normal and look extremely healthy. There isn't any peeling, redness or dryness. I would pay twice as much as I did for this stuff!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok but it DOES contain formaldyhyde January 25, 2012

Essie says this does not contain formaldehyde, but it does. Base coat works ok but improperly decribed on Amazon. Looking for a good one without the harsh and harmful chemicals.
