I wore it as a standalone for a couple days. It does a great job of neutralizing stains and brightening the nail. Boosted the polish I put over it later. Pictured is 1 coat
Not sure if I got a bad batch but the neutralizer is really patchy for me even after three coats. The non-patchy parts cover up staining but because it's so patchy it doesn't make sense to use it with sheer polishes. :( Pictured are three coats.
I have very stained nails and got this hoping that it would allow me to wear sheer polishes. The formula is thin, but you only need a thin coat. You don't have to apply over the entire nail, either! I put it over only the most stained portion in my first coat to see how it would look and it does great! Put a second coat over it to smooth everything out, but the most stained part got the majority of the effect which was exactly what I wanted. It's not completely even, but it's not meant to be a polish. Once you polish over it, the unevenness vanishes. Float thin coats for best results. Honestly, this stuff is just so amazing.
I love this neutralizer base coat. It covers the yellow of my nails from frequent polish in two coats and gives me a great base for polish. It’s a little streaky after one coat, but the second evens it out completely for me.
This is a terrific product; two coats provides not only a lovely, semi-opaque base for transparent/light-colored polishes, BUT ALSO - 2c provide great protection against green-base-polish staining. I'm a fan.
This takes away my VNL without significantly changing the color of the polish on top. It’s magic.
This stuff is SO good! My nails are really stained recently and I was able to almost completely hide that in one thin coat. I find it works best if I shake it before I use it. Dries super quick!
If I could give 4.5 stars I would. I didn't love this as a base coat, it went on a bit streaky for me in a single coat, and I had to do quite a bit of cleanup so that it didn't create a pale outline around my polish (which, fair enough, is true for any tinted base). However, it did a great job with neutralizing and with blurring vnl. Shown under Lone Star Rose, which is on the sheer side. You can see a bit of outline left on my index fingers. I think it will be great used over another base coat.
The perfect base for all your polishes! The formula is a little tricky at first, but if you keep the brush parallel with your nail and float the polish on, it’ll have more even coverage.
it's a fair bit streaky on anything under 3 (very carefully applied) coats. i think it could've benefited from having a more jelly-ish formula than a crelly one, allowing some squishy pigment coverage at the cost of a bit more visible nail line.
Actually reduces the visibility of stains. Other similar products have been too sheer to actually cover anything. I did have some trouble getting it to be level, but I may just need to be more careful. I think it would also work as a subtle manicure worn by itself.
Works great to hide staining
Grabbed this when someone said to use this under jellies and it’s perfect!
Works so well for me as a vnl blurring base
Great for stained nails! I’ve been avoiding using jelly polish at the moment since I’ve been dealing with some orange tinted stains on my nails. This neutralizer solved that issue. Covered the stains like a dream. This is also honestly a pretty shade and can see myself wearing it on its own lol
I've got slightly yellow nails from staining and this did help with evening out the tone. It is holding well, not as smoothing as a ridge filler.
This base builds up into such a nice shade that sometimes I think about wearing it on its own …. I like it especially under a jelly or crelly to even things out.
When I don’t want my jelly polishes to be see through I use this and it works like a dream.
...which I hate. This is a lovely base coat
This is the best base coat. My nails are yellow this stuff helps so much.
I love using this as a blurring base coat
I'm a tinkerer who constantly uses my nails as tools. My latest all-Cracked mani has stayed on for twice as long as our other indie polishes and counting. This stuff has survived 4 days + a fall stopped by my hands and only 2 of my nails have chipped. Not sure if it's just the base coat or the combined effect from the QDTC, but the longevity stands out for sure.
Absolutely love how it neutralizes the nail stains, especially when applying crelly or jelly polishes.
Not my favorite base, Goes on a little streaky
Great base coat for those of us obsessed with yellows.
Amazing formula. Does exactly as advertised. Made the yellow go away!
great base for hiding nail line. its also a pretty solid milky color and is buildable. great formula and amazin price!
Found best results when used with ridge filler for Jellies. Great based to set a more opaque base for jellies.
Great!!
