    Go get it!

    I normally use clear base coats but I saw the benefit of using a nude toned base coat. The nude tone gave a bolder hue when the main colour nail polish is applied. The consistency was good, not too clumpy/runny. The applicator was easy to use & didn't leave harsh streaks of uneven application. There is the normal chemical smell that comes with majority nail polishes. I only used 1 coat of the base coat & then the main polish. My nails weren't stained when I took the polish off with remover which may happen with other base coats & especially a red main colour. It kept my polish on for a few days without natural cracks/chips. Thanks for letting me try!

    Will buy this again and again!

    #gotitfree for my honest review. This base coat pairs perfectly with the color and top coat that goes along with it. It provides the right nourishment to my nails and helps the color stay on my nails. FANTASTIC! WOW!

    Great base coat

    I was impressed with the base coat. I usually don’t use it before I put nail polish on. I tried with the base coat and without and noticed a difference in the final look. The nail polish lasts longer and goes on smoother with the base coat. I made sure my base coat was completely dry before applying my nail polish on, or else it was too sticker to put on and nail polish didn’t go on evenly. I would definitely recommend the base coat before applying nail polish to make it last longer.

    For a base coat it did the trick!

    I was happy with the mat color. The pigment was even and enjoyable. It may even be nice on its own with a top coat. It seemed to apply smoothly. I would compare the quality to that of one of the less expensive brands.

    Base for the long lasting nail colour

    I absolutely adore this base coat not only does it make my nail lacquer last longer but my nails feels stronger and at the same time when I was ready to take the nail lacquer off it came off clean without leaving any stains on my nails.

    I tried the base coat with their own polish and another cheap polish, and it actually did a great job of smoothing and making my manicure last. Smoothing was the biggest thing for me with the cheaper polish. I'd definitely recommend this base coat if you have some polishes you love that don't always apply nice and evenly.

    Great Base Coat!

    I received the CND CREATIVE PLAY BASE COAT to try for free in exchange for my honest opinion from ChickAdvisor and I think I am hooked! I always 'knew' the importance of a base coat, but frankly, im lazy and most nail polish takes forever to dry so I usually skip that step. Oops.

    Base coats are important for manicures because they improve adhesion of the color coat and they prevent nail staining which this product did a great job of! I applied one coat which was easy and smooth to apply. The product dried quick (3 mins) and one dip in the bottle was enough to cover one hand. It applied evenly and was more thick then thin but was the perfect consistency.

    I used the product on only one hand combined with the color coat and top coat and on my other hand I only applied color. The hand with the base coat lasted 2 days longer then the hand without and chipping, when it did occur, was much less noticeable! The hand with the base coat also had more even color distribution and far less streaks. It also came off super easy with nail polish remover and a paper towel! The fact that this product contains no Formaldehyde is also a big seller for me!

    Overall a top coat IS important in a nice manicure and this one is a fantastic option! I had less streaks and chips when using the base coat and my manicure looked amazing!

    Un charme

    J’ai recu gratuitement, grace à ChickAdvisor et CND Creative Play, cette couche de base et mon avis est tout simplement que j’ai beaucoup aimé ce produit. Il s’applique tres bien, ni trop épais ni trop liquide, et seche rapidement. Je vais sans aucun doute racheter cette couche de base de CND Creative Play et je vous la suggere fortement.
