This does a great job as a base coat. It created a smooth surface for my polish which I noticed because I have what looks like scratches on my nails that I usually see after I'm done painting my nails. When I used this base coat I didn't see any of them.

This is the best base coat I've ever tried! I have been using this base coat for probably 10 years. I had to order it online when my local stores stopped carrying it. I've tried all kinds of base coats and have never found one that doesn't peel or chip in 1 or 2 days -- except for this one!

This is the only top coat I ever use. It dries quickly and never chips. My nails still look good after a week. I highly recommend this product along with the Seche Base Coat.
