Nail Care, 8-Free Vegan, Strong Start Base Coat, strengthening nail polish, 0.46 fl oz

I love Essie base coat, polish, and top coat so much that I take my own to the salon when I get a manicure. These products are such beautiful quality that I never want to use any other products on my nails. Most nail products contain many harmful ingredients such as formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. These harmful ingredients are absorbed into our bloodstream. Essie does not contain these harmful ingredients, so they are much safer to use. I'm very happy with how long my manicure lasts. Essie products make my nails stronger and healthier than any other product. And this product is vegan.

Essie Coat Review I really like this Essie coat. It goes on smoothly, dries nicely, and gives the nails a beautiful finish. It’s easy to use and helps my manicure look neat and polished. Overall, a great product!

This base coat works well. Does what it says

This is a very clear, shiny, polish base. I do not see any evidence of yellowing and it has stayed on my nails for several days. It seems to have decreased the amount of splitting and breaking my nails are suffering from. The polish base goes on smoothly and easily. It is light and adds a thin coat of protectant to my nails. I am pleased with this purchase and I believe the value for the cost is worth it.

My first step before applying polish every time! Covers well, not too thin and not too thick and dries quickly. This strengthens my nail and helps with any bleed thru of colors to my nailbed.

Nice product

I absolutely love Essie Strong Start and everything about it! It's easily my holy grail base coat. My manicures easily last 1 week with zero chipping, and my natural nails are noticeably stronger! I love that it does NOT contain the common ingredient Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) like many other base coats, as PVB causes my nails to peel and break.

Helped my nails feel stronger. Dries quickly.

I am one of those people that has always suffered from weak brittle nails my whole entire life. I work in an office so I am constantly always banging my nails onto shelves, cupboards, table edges and even carrying boxes so they are extremely vulnerable to breaking and chipping! I tried this Essie Grow Stronger Base coat and it's been holding up well so far! I put two coats on my nails and they feel extremely hard and not flimsy. I really enjoyed using this nail polish. I would definitely would recommend this nail polish if you are looking for stronger, healthier nails. I also love that the nail polish goes on extra smooth and drys fast. There is hardly any smell like other nail hardeners and best of all, it's from the brand I love the most. I am one happy camper and I've got stronger nails now!

I purchased this base coat nail polish because I have short, thin, brittle nails. It is made with biotin, which is a great ingredient for helping your nails grow healthier. I use it without any other polishes on top, and I’ve noticed my nails growing faster, and thicker ( they don’t crack as easily ), in just a few days! This base coat doesn’t wear off easily or chip either. I clean a lot so my hands are constantly getting wet, and it holds up great. I am SO glad I decided to purchase this Essie Base coat polish and will definitely purchase it again in the future. I definitely recommend this polish to anyone who has thin nails that could really use a great strengthening product. It’s definitely worth the price!

I really liked the results I got using Essie Strong Start Base Coat because of how fast it dried and starting working after just one use. Most comparable products for nail strengthening need to be used consistently for weeks to feel the benefit, but you can see and feel stronger nails after the first use with Essie Strong Start. Once dry, the nails with strong start base coat on them feel stronger and harder than ones without the base coat, but not so hard or stiff that it feels heavy or uncomfortable. The base coat has a very nice polished look alone on nails, but also provides a great base for a coloured polish. I really like that the formula includes biotin in it, as sometimes taking biotin supplements isn't enough to improve your nail hardness, or takes a long time to see the benefit. I would definitely recommend this Essie Base coat to everyone no matter your nail condition, and will continue using it often.

This stuff is amazing. My nails are now long and hard, after being very brittle. Would highly recommend!

Made my bad quality nail polish last a good amount of time. This is what it looks like after 1.5 weeks and I'm not even close to a professional when applying nail polish. Used with Essie speed top coat
