I typically never write reviews but I just have to for this one. As someone who has brittle nails, I have found it so hard to find bases that actually help and work for me. This rubber base coat is by far the best I have found. My nails are 6 weeks out from being done and typically around week 3 I start to chip and peel and I only recently started to chip and even then it’s not a lot. I have used both methods recommended, 2 thin coats or one thick coat, and they both have the same effect it’s just up to what you prefer. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who has brittle nails or struggles with chipping and peeling super easily.
