    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail base does a good job, but it’s not great for prepping my nails that have ridges. If you don’t have ridges, this is a great option.

    I do my own nails and typically by day 3 I have to take off the existing polish because of how unkept they look. But ladies, this stuff is a miracle product for me! The pictures I attached to this review are from DAY 5! I have never kept nail polish on this long and not a single chip on any of my nails. I used the base coat and the What The Gel top coat. Although I love Ella & Mila nail colors, the color pictured is from a different brand. Which just goes to show how amazing Ella & Mila products are that they enhance the integrity of other nail polishes!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using All About the Base, nail polish and In A Rush top coat for several months. I didn’t expect much because it’s always difficult to find nail polish products with staying power. However I truly am impressed with ella+mila. In the past I had to continuously repair my nails due to chipping. Now I can go for a week to ten days without having to do anything to them, and I’m just living my usual life, not babying my nails. Their base coat, polish and top coat combo are the best and I highly recommend them.

    Best base coat yet

    5 out of 5 stars
    Emilia S. - 8 months ago
    originally posted on ella+mila
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the best coat yet and I have been a heavy user of base coats for more than a decade. It is not clear so it took a moment to like it, but it makes the surface smoother and the polish stays longer. Just make sure you wait for it to dry and put it on evenly on the whole nail.

    I barely get four days out of a polish with this, AND sometimes the whole polish layer comes off at once. One of my nails is damaged now.

    I don’t have allergies and this is what I’ve discovered has been causing eye swelling & inflammation!!!! I’ve been to an allergist for testing and could not figure it out. This is the third time I’ve used this and I’m 100 sure this is what it is. I haven’t even touched my eyes today and I feel burning and swelling on my face and eyes. Is this headed for children?!?!

    I bought this because I wanted a healthier alternative to the stinky, chemical base coat I had been using by well-known brand. But after wearing this one for a week under a natural nail polish, I discovered that my nails were damaged and weak. They broke and peeled easily. Several also had ridges, which I have never seen before. The base coat was the only thing that was different this time. What a disappointment. I tossed this product in the trash.

    I recently ordered this product along with a bottle of top coat. Used them on my nails & polish was chipped within a weeks timeframe. Kind of disappointed with this product😥.

    I'm so glad I bought this! I have always struggled with nail polish only lasting like...1-2 days, no matter what brand or top coat I try. I've been using this with my favorite Essie gel color and the Essie gel top coat, and my nails have been staying looking great for a whole week, which is UNHEARD OF for me. And it helps with polish shrinkage, which I also struggled with. I also love that it is clean from harsh chemicals, unlike Seche Vite. A winner!

    NaranjaOnIce - 1 year ago
    I cycle through a few base coats, Orly Bonder is probably my fave but I keep looking for an HG. Usually with a base coat I can get wear for 1-2 weeks with mostly tipwear but no significant chipping. I am hard on my nails but they've never had bad chipping. Part of it is the base coat and part of it is luck! But with this ella+mila base coat I get pretty bad chips within a few days. The only pro is that it doesn't have much of a smell, and it was eash to applg
