Review: Essie First Base Base Coat


I bought this base coat a couple of weeks ago in a haul, and have to say I'm not too impressed. I've been using this since I bought it with a wide range of nail polish brands from Sinful Colors and Revlon to MAC and OPI, and I get the same results every time: no bueno.

The color chips off, especially with any kind of heavy glitter polish and there's nothing really special about it. It has that same green tint to it that my CND Sticky Base Coat. I wasn't impressed with the CND either but I think I prefer that to this one. I've heard good things about an Orly base coat and think I'm going to try that one next. And so the search for a new base coat begins!
