Another vote for EternityintheRain's method! Use Strong Adhesion as a base coat, then polish, then use again as a first top coat followed by Seche Vite. This is hands down my HG base coat/top coat...

This product does make my manis last a day or 2 longer than when I use my usual base coat but it also really dried out my nails which eventually broke. Because of this I wouldn't buy the product...

I absolutely love this base coat. It makes my nail polish last longer and reduces chipping.

just tried it last night but I loved how smooth it applied and how shiny it made my nails. If it fails as a basecoat, at least I have a clear coat that looks pretty.

Something in this product made my nails peel badly. It does hold onto polish but ruined my nails...So not worth it.

this seems like it would be a nice base coat, it dries fast, and goes on nice and thin, but I am pretty sure this product increases nail polish bubbles and peeling. I'm not going to use this...

I took advice I found on MUA and used China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat on top of my polish and under Seche Vite and my mani has lasted twice as long as it did with Seche Vite alone. Not only...

This is a fantastic base coat. I use MUA user EternityintheRain's method of application: do one coat as a base, apply colour polish, top with the base coat again and then apply Seche Vite (or...

3 lippies because it doesn't prevent staining. Up to the point my nails turned almost orange, so if you're looking for something that prevents staining, this isn't it. However, This dries super...

In my opinion, the most versatile nail product I´ve found. As a base, it makes any nail polish last on average 5-6 days, with little to no chipping. By itself, it makes nails look fresh and clean,...

My HG base coat, because it works with all brands. Zoyas used to be problematic with other brands, but I get excellent wear with them and all other brands. Really helps make my manicures last!

Strong Adhesion is the only base coat that I really like. It dries very fast, holds the polish better than anything I've used before and prevents staining. What more can you ask of a base coat?...
