Glossy long lasting nails in one easy step

I love Nailberry Bare Essentials 2 in 1 Base and Top Coat, it gives my manicure a smooth, glossy finish that really lasts. It dried quickly, helps polish last longer and keeps my colour looking bright without yellowing. My nails also seem a lot healthier.

Not sure how well it protected my nails

I purchased this along with a nailberry polish and the quick drying oil. I wanted the base coat but it was out of stock so went for this 2 in 1. It seemed to apply ok but I'm not sure how well the polish applied over the top it wasn't very smooth. When I removed my nail polish (a couple of weeks later) I had some marking on my toenails so not sure how well it protected them. I didn't use it as a top coat.

High shine

I got this as part of a birthday gift, and it’s ended up being a favourite. The polish dries fairly quickly and doesn’t leave my nails feeling dry or damaged. It’s on the pricier side, but you can tell it’s a bit kinder to the nails. And the polish I put on top of it lasts way longer than other polishes.

Great for lazy me

I will be honest- I love having painted nails- I HATE painting them. So buying nail varnish feels like a chore. Having a base coat and top coat in one is really helpful. It means less products to buy and resent, and quicker application time as I spend less time looking for lots of little bottles. The product itself is great. It has a fab consistency, and really does make the nail colour pop. I spend a lot of time gardening, and it does seem to offer some protection against chipping. But the thing I do like the most is that is really does make my nails shine, and really brings out the colour. I admit it is a bit steep at £19 per bottle, but I do think on balance I will buy this again.

Perfects my nails

I love this product! It works great as a base and top coat, I use it with Nailberry’s Elegance polish and it gives my nails the perfect French Manicure look, very natural! I sometimes use on its own too and it makes my nails look stronger, with a lovely shine. It helps with nail polish application as a base, and used as a top coat has the perfect finish.It really prolongs my nail polish, by preventing it being chipped. I’d highly recommend.

Handy top and base coat

I recently bought the Nailberry 2 in 1 base and top coat. I have used as both base and top coats. It brushes on nicely and leaves a lasting shine. I love the Nailberry polishes.

Great Multi Use Product

I have just bought one of these to replace one that I have used up! I love that this can be used as both a base and top coat which saves on buying two products. I would say that it is effective as both. It has lasted for ages without getting too thick to use. Definitely recommend.
