Overview
A home manicure table needs this Sally Hansen clear coat for both steps around the color. Panthenol smooths the nail surface so polish grips, and nylon hardens into a chip resistant shine on top.
One bottle covering both base and top coat simplifies a manicure kit. It is a clear coat only, so it adds no color and is not a dedicated nail repair treatment.
Who it's for
Home manicures and quick touch ups suit a clear dual purpose coat. People with severely peeling nails may need a separate treatment first.
Pros and cons
- Works as base and top coat
- Quick dry formula
- Chip resistant finish
- Helps color hold on
- Clear only, no tint
- Bottle size not listed
Performance notes
As a base it smooths ridges and gives color something to grip, and as a top coat the nylon forms a hard film that resists chips. Thin coats dry faster and harder than thick ones.
