ella+mila Ridge Filler Base Coat Nail Polish - Smoothing Nail Treatment and Long-lasting Ridge Filler - Nourishing Clear Polish for Natural Fingernails (0.45 fl oz)

Fabulous product. The nail color placed over top of this layer has not chipped or peeled off in days!

I’m really happy with this ridge filler base coat. It goes on easily and smoothly, creating a nice even surface for polish. It also dries fairly quickly, which makes the whole manicure process easier. Once I applied my lacquer, it went on smoothly over the base, and the final result looked great. I’ve had it on for almost a week now, and my nails still look really good. I didn’t experience any irritation, which is always important, and the price feels very reasonable for the quality. Overall, this is a great base coat that delivers on smoothing and longevity—I’d definitely keep using it.

I have used this base coat for several years and it works well and doesn't damage nails. It also dries very quickly and has no harsh smell.

Great 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

It seems to be working well thus far.

Be Very careful if you have sensitive skin. I applied All About the Base last night. I thought everything was fine. Took my son to school came home and EXTREMELY ITCHY fingers all around my nails. Even feels itchy under my nails which is insane. Turns out this product contains a known allergen, Benzophenone-1. It acts as an ultraviolet (UV) stabilizer. It also Prevent color changes: It resists the photo-degradation of the polish's polymers when exposed to sunlight, which prevents the base coat and the polish applied over it from discoloring or yellowing over time. Also Maintain product integrity: It helps maintain the overall stability of the formula while it is still in the bottle, ensuring the product stays fresh and effective on the shelf. Lastly it Allows for clear packaging: By acting as a UV blocker, it enables manufacturers to use clear glass bottles for packaging. This one is the crazy part as a base coat doesn't need to ne seen. Perhaps companies who want to be non-toxic should invest in uv treated glass to protect us from yet more chemicals. Another Base coat that isn't for me! Maybe one day I will find something non-irritating. Guess it time to shop other places besides Amzon. Alo it didn't help my ridges much even with 2 thin coats! This insane itching is awful. Never again.

The ella +mila basecoat was below average quality and over-priced. The one positive for the basecoat is that it prevented my nails from getting stained by darker colors. The basecoat didn't add any extra grip or staying power to my nail color, and took quite a while to dry. It made my nails easy to dent and smudge well over an hour after the application of my topcoat.
