I love a fresh manicure!

Your hands have to look good at all times, right? Who wants to see stubby, bitten nails or colorless fingers? And with all the wonderful colors to choose from, you can wear a new shade every week. But when you get a manicure, you want it to last for as long as possible. I have found that the best solution to a long lasting manicure begins with a good base coat.

My current favorite is Essie First Basecoat Adhesive Base. It literally acts as a primer for nail polish ensuring better adhesion of the polish to the nail. Basecoat provides a smoother, more receptive surface for polish to adhere to, while filling in the lines and creases in the nail. You will truly notice a difference in the ease of the polish application. And that means a longer lasting main.

A basecoat can also provide a hint of shine, and when used properly in the following order: base coat, polish, top coat, the shine lasts much longer. It also provides a natural shine if applied by itself, for a natural healthy buff. Unfortunately we all like to cut things short and often miss the first step to a great mani. Don't! With a basecoat, your manicure will look better and last longer.

I have always been a bag fan of all things Essie so why not love their basecoat too?
