ProbelleHydrating Base Coat for Dry and Brittle Nails, Instant Moisturizer, Nourishes and Soothes Nails with a Healthy Glow, Extends Polish Life, Ideal for Dehydrated, Rough, Breaking Nails

I recently got into painting my nails, but it has honestly been a learning curve trying to figure out the right technique, prep, etc. Following advice online I used a basecoat and top coat with the polish. At first I tried a basecoat with PVB and it worked but my nails started peeling at the ends. So I switched to another basecoat without PVB that was highly recommended (Mooncat) and ugh... it was just as bad for my nails. They turned white in spots and peeled off in sheets at the tips because they were so dehydrated. Luckily, someone online recommended a hydrating basecoat and I found Probelle. I am so thankful that I did!! I have tried it with 3 different polishes and with all 3 the polish stayed on without chipping for a week before I took it off. And the best part was that my nails weren't wrecked when I took the polish off. They looked nice and healthy. So glad I found this!

This base coat was a bit more expensive than I normally pay but I have been having trouble keeping my polish on so I decided to give it a try. The base coat is the most important part of the manicure! It kept my polish on better than any other I have used. It was quick drying and easy to apply. I'll buy again and am planning on trying the quick dry top coat as well. Plus, you are supporting a small business!

I use this under toe nail polish. Seems to protect my nails from drying out OK. I'll know more by the end of the summer, but at this point it seems to work well.

Well my nails are still chipping and splitting so this seems to be just like the rest of the stuff that's out there. If your nails are in good condition then go ahead and get it it dries pretty darn fast

This is the best base coat that I have used.I have dry brittle nails with ridges .This base coat has given my nails more hydration, smoothed out the ridges and kept my polish on for a week, which is very unusual for my dry nails.

Works good. Shiny.

Great stuff. Keeps my nails from splitting and peeling.

I waited to use the product several times before writing a review. The base coat is very thin...much thinner than I am used to with other base coat products. I did not notice any improvement in my nails after several uses of this product. I haven't been terribly impressed with it as a base coat as my nail polish seemed to wear off at the tips the same day as applied. I admit I am hard on my hands/nails but I have much better results with Sally Hansen Big Base Coat.
