“I rarely use nail varnish as I’ve noticed it damages my nails and flakes off quickly so I was hoping that this would be worth a try to improve matters. I bought this with a Palette London colour and top coat and so far it’s not been that successful. Several nails have lost all 3 coats in one ‘flake’ after a day or two - will keep trying…”
Hi Hilary,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry that you’re disappointed with your purchase.
We would recommend ensuring that nails are cleansed or wiped over with nail varnish remover and dry before applying the base coat. One thin coat of the base coat is sufficient and it should be left to dry fully before applying your colour again in thin layers and drying in between layers. We’d recommend 1-2.
Once the colour is dry apply one coat of your top coat to finish and seal the ends of the nail tips.
Please do get in touch with us at studio@palettelondon.com should you require any further assistance. We’d be happy to help.
“I bought the Base Coat, Polish and top Coat as I hoped I would not have an allergic reaction to these 21 free products, unfortunately, I have got the same reaction (rash and itch) as to general polish. The service was good and the polish looked good on my nails though.”
“I don't always use a base but bought it as I was trying the new range. It worked really wee, leaving my nails in good condition and perhaps helping to prolong the life of the nail varnish.”
“I used the Base Coat along with Grenadine nail polish and the Top Coat on my toenails and I'm really pleased with the results. All 3 products glided on smoothly and were a pleasure to use. The polish has been on for 3 weeks and is still going strong, despite the usual daily dog walks, shopping, work, etc.
I thought that with the products having less chemicals, they might lack the staying power of the traditional formulations, but this is not the case at all. I also ordered Porcelain, but haven't used that colour as yet - I'm sure it will be just as good as the Grenadine polish though.”
