Our verdict

A sticky, botanical-infused base coat that helps polish and decals grip the nail for longer wear. It is only the base, despite what the included components field says.

Overview

Not a smooth ridge filler, Londontown kur Grip Lock is a sticky base coat that gives polish, lacquer or nail decals something to grip. One thin coat goes on bare nails before color.

Londontown builds the base around adhesion, so color holds on longer without chipping or peeling, while botanicals care for the nail underneath. The specs claim a top coat and gel are included, which the bullets do not support, so expect only the base coat.

Who it's for

People whose manicures chip early and who want a primer that helps any polish hold. Those who want a single bottle that works as base and top coat should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Grippy base boosts polish adhesion
  • Works under nail decals too
  • Botanical nail care
  • Long free-of list
Cons
  • Base coat only
  • Specs claim extras the bullets do not

Performance notes

The flexible formula dries tacky, which gives lacquer a surface to bond to and resists chips as nails flex. Letting it set briefly before color matters for the grip. Londontown suggests its dehydrator first and its gel top coat last for the longest wear.
