Beautifying and strengthening.
As a nurse, I work with my hands and you could definitely tell! My nails were peeling and breaking and I could never get much length before they completely fell apart. This base coat has supported them so much and I am now able to get a little bit of elegant length with just a hint of colour. Definitely recommend.

Effective
I bought this to repair my nails after they were in poor condition following gel removal. I think they quickly made a difference and it leave a pretty sheen on my nails.

Perfect
It says to apply 2 coats, but honestly just 1 coat gives a perfect light colour finish to the nails. It is good for quick and discrete style.

Excellent
Keeps the nail underneath healthy and strong so I can sustain my addiction to polished toes!

Best repair
Ex nail biter here. I used fake nails until they grew and once they came off, they were ruined until I introduced this varnish and they came back to life!

Life saver
This nail product has saved my poor nails! As a nurse I wash my hands continuously and this is the best product I’ve found to stop my nails becoming peeling, breaking messes. Definitely recommend.

Love it!
Vey nice on my nails, gives a natural pink tint and helps my nail’s recover after getting acrylic’s. Can chip easily though so I recommend using a top coat after application.

Stronger Nails
I love this strengthening polish. I have used a few of them and this one stands out to me in how it made my nails strong but not brittle. I have been using it to grow out my natural nails and it works well to repair any damages that happen after I get gel nails

Good
I use it as a nail polish and very happy about it as the colour is amasing. Didn't find great strengthening effect though.

Only base coat I use
I tried this a couple years ago for the first time and didn’t use any other base coat since. It’s just so good I never felt the need to try anything else. Dries quickly, helps my nails hear quickly whenever I go a bit overboard and if I apply a second coat of this it’s just perfect for a natural look. Hope this is never discontinued !
