Essie first base review
Hello again lovies!
I'm back for a review of Essie's base coat First Base. As some of you may now from Nail Care
Routine post I am an ex-acrylic addict.
My nails were a disaster, they were weak, I did not care for my cuticles,
etc. When I started caring for my
nails, one of the firsts nail polishes I bought was Essie's Millionails to help
grow my nails. As I got used to constantly
using it as base coat and finding that it had a fair performance since first of
all it was not meant to be a base coat, I decided to buy Essie's First Base to
try it out and gather my thoughts to bring you all simple review.
My journey began at a Walgreens where I purchased the base
coat I think it was for like $9 or close.
I read the instructions and the description and got so excited to give
it a try. The polish came packaged
in Essie's original plastic box and the bottle is tinted aqua blue. The formula was great, it was neither
thick nor drippy, and it dried super fast. So here it goes...
Essie's First Base is a <good> base coat if you are
trying to save some money from well-known brands like CND and if you find
yourself at a CVS or Walgreens and don't know any other base coat that might
actually serve its purpose.
I have been using it for 3 weeks and 6 manicures. It does
hold my mani a little longer but not as long as I would like. I would say exactly
like 2 more days compared with what I was using as base coat.

I still experience chips, lifting, and
tip wear 2 days after applying. Is
it that hard to find a very good base coat that will allow me to keep my mani intact
for at least 4 days?
If I would grade this base coat I would give it a B-.
Have you used this base coat before? How was your experience with it? What other base coat would you recommend?
I would love to hear your feedback!

this review and I purchased everything with my own money.
