very weird base coat [SEP] i have a lot of gel polishes they are the only nail polishes i use on my fingers because everything else chips like crazy on my thin fingernails this set is interesting it has a base coat a red color and then some various topcoatsmy issue is with the base coat it beads up on your nail i cleaned my nails as usual and made sure there was not any oil or dirt on the nail area i swiped a single thin coat of base coat on and it immediately pulled into beads and channels away from the edges of the nail it looks very funny with the polish over it lumpy i am not sure if i got a bad batch or what i went ahead with the process did the dryer and the mid and top coats and yeah just uneven looking nailsthe top coats are fun i do not much like the one with black flecks in it as they are a bit muddy and it just makes the nail look dirty they are not showstopping but they are not too bad
