ella+milaAll About the Base - Coat Nail Polish - Long-lasting Ridge Filler Base Coat - Nail Care that Helps Smooth & Fill Natural Nails (0.45 fl oz)

After my favorite smooth-e base coat was discontinued, I was on the hunt for something similar. I have chosen this product because it's cruelty free and natural. This product provides a nice base for nail polish or can be worn alone for a natural look. I like it.

I bought ella + mila base coat, nail polish and top coat. I originally used just their polish. It wore better than other polishes I had used in the past but not as long as I had anticipated, plus it still chipped a bit on the second day. I contacted the seller about it and they were very helpful. They recommended that to get the full benefit of their products, I should use the base and top coats along with the polish. The photo attached to my review is a picture I took 4 days following application of all three products. There are no chips whatsoever! I even did moderate cleaning yesterday wearing no gloves! I am a believer, and will be a steady customer! Since it’s my first time wearing the polish, I’ve not yet removed it to see if my natural nails are still as strong and healthy as they were before applying. But I feel like they will be. When I removed just the polish the first time I tried it before the base and top coats, it came off very easily with polish remover and my nails looked just fine.

Very smooth application and hides the grooves in my nails. Love this

As an older person I was not expecting much, nail polish is nail polish. Not so. This is a wonderful easy to use base coat. Glides on smoothly, does take a minute or two to dry, which is fine. I can't wait to try the colors I ordered. Fabulous, Vegan, cruelty free, does what it says it does product.

While it is an excellent toxin free base coat, I was hoping it would have a leveling and smoothing effect for nail ridges. It’s just a decent base. Does dry fast and the odor is low

Vegan and safe for my nails

It has a very strong smell causing me to cough, and it did nothing for my ridges, seems too thin for that.

Base base coat non-toxic nail polish ever used
