Essie - strong start + us
I received this Essie - strong start + us for my honest review. First off, it goes on easily, and I followed it with the nail polish that was provided.

Destroyed my nails
I've used many base coats over the years with no issues. My nails were in good shape, no issues. I used this, as directed, for two weeks and my nails have never been in worse shape. All of my nails have broke, become brittle and hurt. Will be attempting to return and never use again.
Great polish!
Have been looking for a clear that I can wear alone sometimes. All the others I've tried peel off, this doesn't and gives nice coverage and shine when you don't want a color. Love it!
My Go-To!
I have used Essie Strong Start consistently for over a year each time I do my nails. My nails are noticeably much stronger than they were. They don't split at the edges or across the top like they used to. I always swim my nails with rubbing alcohol prior to the base; that helps it adhere. I don't use anything else anymore.
Doesn't last
Easy to apply but doesn't last, my nail polish is chipping off after 2-3 days and I've tried this multiple times
