Review: Gelish is the best - I have tried other brands of gel nail polish, and I think Gelish is the best. I like this base coat and it makes my polish stay on longer.
Review: I always come back to this base coat - Gelish is wonderful to use since it works well with different brands. I’ve used this base coat and other prep products by gelish for years and love the quality. If the prep products are solid, the rest comes together well. I’m not a nail tech but I do my friends’ nails frequently enough to go through base coat faster than I would if I were just doing my own nails. For this reason, I think the mini size is best for me. I can use all of the product up right before it expires. If you’re a nail tech, you might want the bigger size. I’ve had to use expired gelish base coat before and the quality/product retention/adhesion was compromised - obviously. So I’d highly recommend this size if you’re in a similar situation to me!:) Works well under just gel polish, gel overlays, or gel extensions in my experience. :)

- Protects the Natural Nail: This base coat is designed to secure adhesion without damaging or weakening the natural nail plate, making it perfect for healthy nail care and long-lasting gel manicures.
