Color me impressed
I normally don't write reviews but I swear this is a miracle in a bottle. My girlfriend has a condition that makes her nails extremely thin, brittle, and peeling, and her nailbeds are almost completely flat. Anything that goes on her nails, whether it's regular polish, gel, or even dip powder will be lifted off or completely chipped away in less than 48 hours, guaranteed. As someone who loves doing nails, I struggled to find something that would make it so that she could wear a nice mani without it getting ruined immediately, and everything I tried was failing.
I bought this initially for myself to prime for my polygel extensions and I saw that this could be used under regular polish or gel. I tried it out on her, not really expecting any results, and I was absolutely shocked to find that save for very slight wear on the tips, the gel polish I used on top of the primer was still locked on and completely intact with no chips or peeling five days later--the longest she's EVER had a manicure last.
I HIGHLY recommend this primer if you're prone to chipping, peeling, or if you need something very strong to hold down extensions.
