   Theres just something I love about a fresh manicure, and this base/top coat amplified that for me.
   Okay, so I really really adore this polish. I always have it on, either by itself or paired with one of my favourite colours. I find that it really does harden my nails significantly; although my nails grow fast, they are rather weak and prone to breaking. I get painful hangnails. So on a whim, I was at the drugstore and I saw this stuff…decided why not, I’ll give it a try!
   Seriously one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
   I find the formula a bit thick, and if you apply too much you’ll have a mess on your hands…but apply it evenly and it will dry quickly with a beautiful shine. My nails LOOK thicker, which is what I’m aiming for. I think that gel manicures are so pretty, but I absolutely hate the feeling of fake nails. This helps me achieve that look quickly!
   What I like about this product is there is very little gunky-ness, which is a problem I sometimes have with base coats.
   I usually apply two coats, just because, but I think even one coat will suffice for anyone with weak nails.
   When I pair this with other polish, I apply two coats of this as a base, let it dry completely, add my other polish, and then top it off with another coat of this. I find it makes my manicure last a few more days without chipping compared to basecoats I’ve tried in the past.
   I’ll definitely keep buying this stuff, already onto my second tube 🙂

   This is an excellent product to be used as a base coat and top coat. The consistency of the “gel” formula does take a little getting used to but the result is a very smooth and glistening finish. because it is so “thick”, the gel like liquid envelops the surface and evens out and fills in any imperfections. When used as a top coat it provides great protection against scratches and looks as fresh as a new manicure. I use it on top of my red Essie polish and the firey shine is incredible! It is important to note however that I’m only able to get full week non-chip wear with this top coat when the bottom layers have been well applied and THOROUGHLY DRIED. I know others may not have the patience but I typically let each layer of my polish dry at least 1/2 a day. when each layer is completely dry, you have no chance of any wet polish moving/getting affected once you put the next coat on. No quick drying top coat is going to help protect the wet stuff under neath if it’s still semi unset. It will help the top layer dry faster, but the lower layers are still at risk. you will still get chips and the lifting that is so common with thick layers of polish. So make sure you give your bottom coats, including base coat, LOTS of time to dry. Rushing on to next coats will only increase chance of damage later.

   I recently bought this because it was on sale at my local chemist (15.95 AUD) and i have to admit that it was very good! my nails felt instantly stronger, and it was shiny! BUT the good comments stop there. On the second day, i started to realize that the polish was peeling off ( I was wearing it by itself) i could peel the whole thing off, and I’m pretty sure that makes your nails thinner. Maybe i applied it to thickly, but I’m really disappointed. I love Sally Hansen products, but I do not recommend 🙁
