Strong Bond Base Coat - nail treatment
Strong Bond Base Coat is a nail treatment designed to give your nail polish extra long wear. It's compatible with our nail polish line + other polish you may already own from other companies. Our testers have reported increased wear from 3-7 days when using this product.
To use, apply 1 thin coat on clean, bare nails.
Note: More than any other nail treatment, the effectiveness of a base coat is really going to be dependent on your body chemistry. If you don't have great results when you first use this, we recommend trying it in tandem with a Nail pH Corrector, such as BondAid or ChipSkip. These products are designed to adjust your nail's pH to match that of the base coat. If you still aren't loving how long your manicures are lasting, please send us a note and we'll help troubleshoot!
