Sticky Base Coat
Sticky Base Coat
Couldn't load pickup availability
Think of this as double-sided tape for your mani. Our Sticky Base Coat is a plumping, tacky base coat that grabs onto your polish and holds on. It smooths out your nail surface for that perfect first layer, then gets a little clingy (in a good way) to lock your color in place. The result? Fewer chips, longer wear, and a mani that doesn’t ghost you after two days. Smooth canvas, and strong grip, what more could you ask for?

Great base cost without the no-no ingredients. Been using it consistently for over a month and my manis stay long while my nails chip less than when I used other brands. Pictured are freshly nail polish removed nails without any clipping or filing. No chips.
I don’t use sticky base coat for my manis because I haven’t had issues with longevity using a regular basecoat BUT I just discovered how fabulous this is for nail art. Using this sticky base coat to adhere gems of all sizes - even large ones, is foolproof and sooooo much easier than dealing with nail glue.
Terrific "sticky" base product; I have tried other sticky base formulas, and this one is as good if not better than most, at an excellent price point. The benefit of a sticky base is the longevity you get from a manicure; I would say most of my Cracked manis last at least 1-2+ weeks without any flaking, and that is owed in large part to the sticky base.
I dont use sticky base coat under my mani’s but I recently used it to afix bling to a mani - this works so much easier and better than nail glue!
As described, this is a sticky base coat! It dries fast and feels tacky to the touch, so you know it's going to do its best to hold onto your manicure. I'm sure it would also work great as a step for applying chrome powders on regular lacquers (though I haven't tried that yet).
I hate to say it but.... This is not for me :( it bubbles so bad and is so thick I cannot get an even layer at all. I have never used a base coat that is as thick as this, so maybe I am just not used to the formula but this was very difficult to work with for me.
I have fairly brittle, bendy nails. I like this sticky base because yes, my polish actually stays on and lasts longer, but it's also the Goldilocks of strength; I have tried some that were too adhesive and damaged my nails, and some that didn't do anything at all. This base though, plays so nicely with my nails!
Loved how long my mani lasted with this.
One of my teen daughters has never been able to get anything to stay on her nails more than a day without peeling and chipping. I used this on her last time instead of another brand’s sticky base coat and we were both pleasantly surprised. Most fingers made it to day 10! Some chipped a little around day 6-7, but this was such a huge improvement for her.
My polish held on really nicely but unfortunately my nails aren’t super strong so I learned the hard way that they are very sensitive to PVB. But I’m very excited to try the new PVB-free basecoat and hope it holds the polish like this one!
If your nails aren’t damaged or prone to peeling, this may be a great option for you. You could even try it with something protective underneath.
Only downside is pvb for those who are unable to use them.
My polish has lasted about a week so far with this base coat!
I have used this now for several months and this works for me. My nails are protected and the polish applied over rarely chips.
This is the best reverse stamping polish I’ve used. I don’t need a sticky base coat but I do need a reverse stamping adhesive. This sticky base stays tacky for quite a while and really grips onto a dry design. It’s also great for stretching stamp designs evenly because of how much it clings.
This is so good! I use it in place of ridge filler or other base coat and it works great.
This is my first sticky base coat, since I usually use a ridge filling primer directly. This applies nicely, but acts as almost a peel off base after a few days.
An essential for a long lasting manicure!
I was pleasantly surprised with this base coat. I love it! My polish will chip and it's still hanging on underneath. I believe it makes my manicures last way longer than they did before
First time ever in my life I have had polish chip instead of peel off completely in one sheet was with this product.
Best sticky base coat around.
This is my first time using a sticky base coat and it really makes my manicures last! My polish stays on and my nails feel strong and healthy.
I purchased the base coat hoping that my manis would last, but sadly, it just doesn't stick well on my nails. I won't blame Cracked as many ladies say the base coat works anazing for them, so I will say it may be a me problem. Worth a shot purchasing though!
I’ve tried a couple of sticky base coats that end up not lasting long on me, but this one allows my manis to stay on for a whole week!! My new go to sticky base coat!
I haven’t tried many sticky base coats, but I like this one! Works well with multiple polish brands.
My favorite basecoat ever. Replaced the rubberized bonder by orly as my number one.
Great base coat. Also makes a great hardening coat before finishing with a top coat. Makes your manicure last forever! 💎
Works really well, I use it all the time.
Great base coat for not chipping, but the whole nail polish chunk pops off easily if you get your hands wet for at least a day after applying. Not great for your nail beds if you pick at your nail polish tho.
My most regularly pulled based coat. Goes on easy, dries to tacky quickly, gets me nearly a week of wear.
Very nice base coat and have smooth application.
