It's so steady!! It doesn't chip at all! Shocking! Even when I'm not careful, it protects my nail very well. The key is to put it on the nail end and underneath as well. It works so much better...

My favorite base coat so far, especially as it really does seem to make manicures last longer and prevent nail color from staining the nail... and the colors I favor are bright reds, vampy reds,...
