Maybelline Superstay Strength Primer Protecting Base Coat

Excellent base coat only need to use spareingly. Last a long time and stops nail discolouration.

Excellent, I have now bought this twice it's so good. One coat straight onto the bare nail and then another as a top coat after applying varnish. My nails have really strengthed and the varnish is staying put. I previously had get nails which were good but expensive this product in my opinion is equal at least for staying power.

Does the job nicely

The media could not be loaded. This is the best nail varnish brush I have ever used. The curved brush makes for effortless application even with my left (non-dominant) hand. As it's a base coat, once dry it is matte rather than shiny. My only slight issues is that I have tiny pinky finger nails and the brush is too big for that one but that's easily rectified with a cocktail stick and still better than any other nail varnish brush I've used, I wish every brand would adopt this style. Nail varnish usually doesn't last a day on my fingers but I bought this on a recommendation. I will try to update this when I know how long it lasts.

Purchased this after becoming very vexed with gel nails, I can never get a gel manicure to last more than a few days before it chips or a nail pops off. A home gel pedicure is fine and lasts the course but can never get a gel manicure to stand the test. Decided to go back to the traditional method and use this with seche vite. Got 8 days out the manicure lasted a whole holiday of in and out of pool and not taking much care of it. Could not believe it. Two coats of this, two nail polish and then seche vite. Some slight wrinkling issues with the seche so I might try a different top coat but will definitely stick with this base coat. It is almost sticky when it is applied and dried so more like a binder. I have tried orly bonder in the past for five times the price and this is just as good if not better.

I personally find this base very odd. Not the product per se, that seems fine although so far I haven’t noticed a benefit, but the applicator brush has a very odd shape. It’s flat like many others these days but it’s also bowed and very wide. I think the idea was good, as it’s meant to fit the bowed shape of the nail directly before you even apply any pressure, but it’s so wide that for half the nails I ended up with it all over the side of my fingers too. It’s not easy to apply it any other way unlike a normal brush so if your nails beds aren’t wide you’re pretty stuck.

I do my nails at home every week and always invest in good quality polish. However, i have found that regardless of the cost, the base coats i used previously were not very effective. This one, on the other hand is great and is a must have for any woman who prefers a home manicure. It goes on well and dries very quickly. It prevents staining from dark colours, and increases the wear of my polish for over a week. Absolutely love it and the price makes it even better.

Oh I do like this. You can see the calcium in it. Quick and easy to go on under nail polish not forgetting your top coat.Really evens out your nails.Why are customers moaning about the brush size. I may have long nails yet they are not wide.The brush is fab yes it’s wide but shaped in an arch so it glides so easy.Lastly not forgetting it does strengthen your nailsArrived fast and well packaged ty. :-)
