Primer, Base & Top Coat

I love this stuff.Pros: The primer and base/top coat work well. I have used them with Sensationail colors and with other brands, like Sally Hansen. In all cases the quality was good. I'm careful to follow the instructions and usually my polish does not come off until I take it off after a week or two.Cons: I really, really wish they would sell the gel primer and top/base coat individually, but I don't think they do. I wasn't able to find it. After I knocked over the brand new bottle of primer and spilled it all, I wasn't too happy that I had to buy another package with both items when I only needed the primer. Likewise, one time I decided to paint on the top coat in full sunlight and of course the UV light from the sun made it become gloppy and unusable. I know that is my fault, but still...I ended up having to buy primer + base/top coat together.I do hate how all the primer will easily spill out of the bottle if you knock it over. With the polish, if you knock it over accidentally, all is not lost. You might not even spill any. But if you knock over this primer, you're going to lose it all.I don't find their included orange stick to be useful for removing polish, if that is what it's for. I use their metal polish peeler instead and usually I can avoid having to use acetone soaks to get the polish off. The orange stick would be woefully inadequate for this.

The only other base or top coat or primer I have used is Gelish and I prefer SensatioNail. The base and top coat is easy to apply and covers well and seems to be longer lasting. Its brush is just right. I like having to have only the one bottle for both and the top coat is always nice and clear and shiny. Shaking seems to help with lasting longer. Someone told me not to shake it and when I did that application my polish peeled within a few days. The primer spills too easily for me and the brush applicator isn't the best, but I do think it helps the base coat to adhere better. With Sensationail base/top and primer, my manicures generally last fairly well for about 2 weeks and a pedicure lasts for a month and just begins to look bad from growing out instead of ever chipping off. I wish SensatioNail had more color varieties but I have had good results using these products with Calvuz glittery polishes. This is my latest favorite assortment.

After trying so many related products, I can confidently that this is the best UV gel base/top coat!! It’s also very quick finishing under iv light - taking only 30-60 seconds to fully cure! Also the quality of the cure is much better than any other product I have used in the past.

I received it on time but the only thing is the cleanser because it was so hot during shipment it literally evaporated out of the bottle the trucks aren't air condition or refrigerated so the acetone based cleanser just basically evaporated out of the bottle. The primer is not properly sealed it leaked also other than that it is a great buy by the product works perfectly . Thank God I already had primer and cleanser.,just really bought it for the top base coat. So if you want this product I suggest not buying during the summer time or at least any temperature above 80'. I've used this product for a long time and I give it thumbs-up

I loved going and getting gel polish in the salon, lasts 2 weeks with no chips easy, sometimes I could stretch it into 3 weeks. I got the Sensational starter kit with the lamp and all the stuff you need and have been doing my nails at home ever since. The only downside to gel nails is the removal, but that is a small price to pay for perfectly polished nails that don't chip like regular polish. I do have some peel off base coat ordered I am eager to try with the gell nails. I love this top coat. Very easy to apply and even though the bottle looks so small, one bottle lasts for a long time. The primer works well with my nails, does not do much for my kids' nails, theirs still pops off all the time. My only gripe is the way the primer bottle is designed. For such a thin product, the bottle needs to be shaped differently or have a better closure because if mine tips over in my "nail stuff box" it always leaks and gets everything else sticky. I have to store it upright.

Easy to use at home.I've been buying and using Sensationail clear coat for several years. In the past I had bought it from my local Walmart, but I tried to get it last week and they no longer carry it. It was also not available at their website, but I did find it here on Amazon, so I ordered a couple of bottles.They arrived in just a couple of days, undamaged, and are exactly the same as what I have been purchasing in-store.

Not sure about strong nails, but works great if you have weak nails like myself. I’ve tried Biotin and everything but I’ve got some flimsy nails. So some gels don’t work for me - I’ve learned different types of nails do best with different types of gel. This has been my go-to for years. Usually lasts 2-3 weeks. 2-3 months on my toes! My nails in this pic were done 8 days ago. Love it. And a bottle lasts me almost a year.

I’ve been using this for several years now and love it…the clear base/top coat is thin but strong. I don’t mind wiping it with alcohol when done. I use it over everything..regular polish, hard gel, poly gel and natural look. I don’t like the thick look and this helps me control that but leaves them very strong and last several weeks when I take my time and do it right.I figured out the difference…old formula that needs cleaned the name is written in lower case. That’s what I ordered and received the new formula…name stats with capital letters…and the yellow sticker.
