Stickey Base Coat
By Teresa Smith, Nail expert
A favorite with most nail professionals. This base coat truly does act like a double-sided sticky tape between the nail and the polish, anchoring the colour to the nail to help prevent chipping and peeling. This can be used with any brand of polish - even just a clear. The secret to a long lasting polish is preparation and Stickey is a vital step in achieving a polish that will comfortably last a whole week without chipping.

This is truly the best base out there. I was ready to throw away a bunch of polish because it would flake off too quickly but with this my pedicures easily last 3-4 weeks w/o showing signs of wear. HG product - a total keeper. Won't even bother with anything else.
