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
10/10 to ESSENCE STUDIO NAILS ULTRA STRONG NAIL HARDENER

I always have these in my make-up bag
Great for touch -up
Fixing chips

I had brittle nails until I tried the Essence Nail Hardener, I always have 3tipe in my nail kit.
not enough stars for this product 11/10

As all things Essence, this product is no different!

I have been using a cuticle oil from a nail technician when i came across this find! What the other did for me in a week, this little bottle of miracles did for me in 3 days! Easy to apply, stunning scent ( apricot) and lasts foreeeever! My nails look and feel healthy and strong and are growing beauuuutifully!! All smiles!!
