For base coats, I look for something that helps protect bare nails. I look for items that won't turn the nails yellow, items that aren't drying and that also don't make the nails peel.
End of last month I found this great ESSENCE STUDIO NAILS ULTRA STRONG NAIL HARDENER at Dischem, love it !!! my nails are already stronger. I use this as my base coat
