"perfect base coat for adding a bit of cushioning to the nail!"
"By far the best rubber base i’ve used, helps so much with retention, nice and thick and easy to apply, super impressed! 🥰"
"Soooo goes in beautifully, great application and viscosity, but not sure on retention! I’ve had a few clients suggest that their retention hasn’t been as good since the swap! Need to compare for a little longer to see if it’s the base or something else"
