Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base and Top Coat, 13.3ml

This works very well. It's good to have one bottle instead of two. Gives a good shine to my toes. Drying time is quite quick.

Brilliant, stays on and strengthens my nails.

In the quest for strong, beautiful nails, finding the right base and top coat can be a game-changer. Sally Hansen's Double Duty Strengthening Base and Top Coat promises to deliver a two-in-one solution, and after putting it to the test, I can say it's a mixed bag of pros and cons. 🌟 Let's start with the positives: This double-duty marvel truly shines (pun intended) when it comes to providing a glossy, gel-like finish to nails. Whether applied solo or as a top coat over your favorite polish, it imparts a level of shine that would make a diamond jealous. 💎 Another standout feature is its strengthening capabilities. Infused with nourishing panthenol, this base coat works to hydrate and fortify nails, making them less prone to splitting or peeling. Say goodbye to brittle, weak nails! 💪 However, there are a few areas where this product falls short. The drying time can be a bit of a pain point, leaving you with tacky nails for what feels like an eternity. And while it promises chip resistance, some users (myself included) have found that it doesn't quite live up to expectations in terms of longevity. 😕 Additionally, the value proposition could be better. While the sleek bottle looks great on your vanity, the 13.3ml size might not be the most economical choice for frequent nail enthusiasts. Despite these drawbacks, the Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base and Top Coat remains a solid contender in the nail care arena. Its ability to impart a high-shine finish and fortify nails with its nourishing formula makes it a worthwhile investment for those seeking a reliable two-in-one solution. Just be prepared for a longer drying time and potentially shorter wear than advertised. 💅

I love Sally Hansen products and this is no exception. For me, the handle is a bit slippery and awkward to hold, so I just wrap a small elastic band around it to give it some grip. The brush is a good size and length for a really decent application, and you can do the 3 strokes per nail thing. It dries quickly, as long as you haven’t used too much, and it gives a pretty, natural look on its own. As a base coat it’s brilliant, and it really does prevent dark colours from staining your nails, and gives the polish something to stick to. As a top coat, you get a lovely level of shine and it does reduce wear along the edge and chipping, especially if you use it under the nail as well as on top. It will also smooth out and small imperfections, so if you have a slight fingerprint or maybe texture print from material in your varnish, they can disappear. One thing I would say is to wait for each coat of base coat, varnish, and top coat to dry completely before moving onto the next to get the best results. All-in-all a great product. Happy to recommend.

Great delivery, I always use this brand, its very good to use either on its own or with other nail polishes. Lasts a very long time

great price and delivery

I purchased Sally Hansen Double Duty In the hope that it would be a wonder product. It is marketed as an undercoat base coat and top coat and can be worn alone. I found if I used it as an undercoat/base-coat and then applied nail varnish and then applied it as a topcoat this meant that the nails would kind of congeal and the polish didn't last very long it was almost as if the topcoat melted the nail polish. Took ages to dry as well not helpful. Also I don't see that it would last very long or be good value for money - as soon as you've opened and began to apply the product starts to congeal inside the bottle. And application becomes difficult because the product has congealed. Used alone as a clear polish, function is okay but then again because the product congeals soon as you start using it it's not very helpful or pleasant to use. I also noticed that when I use this product for a couple of weeks on and off the quality of my nails started to deteriorate so I don't think it's healthy for the nails. Won't be purchasing again and still on the look for a perfect base coat and top coat that doesn't congeal.

I have been using this for some time. During menopause my nails were thin and breaking, this seems to really help me. Would recommend.

super awesome base and top coat! It dried within about two minuets for me. The consistency isn't too thick and easy to work work with. I only needed one base coat and one top to make my manicure look clean. Usually with other brands I'd need two base coats. It's very shiny and it lasted me for a couple weeks and I work with my hands pretty often. Will definitely be purchasing again!

It’s practical & worth buying ! ❤️

Very good quality base coat. Serves as a top coat too. This base coat makes application of a nail color very smooth. I love it and highly recommend.

Snabbtorkande och den gav resultat med hårdare naglar efter ca en vecka. Bra produkt för den som söker alternativ till nyare och mycket dyrare produkter.

Best clear nail polish I've ever used. It dries in seconds, and it is very easy to apply an even coat, and my nails feel much stronger. I put two coats on a week ago, and my nails look as good as the day I applied. Highly recommend !
