My favorite base coat - Nail Life Gripper

I have tried just about all base coats and one of the least expensive is my favorite. Nail Life Gripper is found at Sally Beauty Supply. I do like CND Stickey almost as much, but this stuff is great. It's a full ounce of base and I think it costs less than $8. Definitely worth a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

all my base are belong to experiement

I have this week off from work due to illness, so what a better time than do a test on some of the different basecoats I have. I started each nail with Essie beam up. On my pointer finger I used NailTek Foundation II,  middle finger got Zoya Anchor, ring finger has Nail Life Gripper, and the pinkie has Essie 3-way-glaze.


I didn't take pictures, sorry, but for me the best are the Nail Life Gripper and the Essie 3 way. The NailTek and the Zoya had chips in them in day. In all fairness I am out of CND Stickey, which I have had good luck with, so I will keep that on my to buy list.
