CND Stickey Base Coat

I recently tweeted asking for Cult Beauty recommendations and ended up ordering the CND Stickey Base Coat on a little bit of a whim, purely because Kate from gh0stparties told me I needed it. Right she was, because this is hands down the best base coat I have ever used and believe me, I've used my fair share.

Applying as any other base coat would, this CND Stickey formulation differs slightly in that it creates ever such a soft, sticky, tacky layer on the nail allowing for a perfect bond between the base and the polish. Anchoring your chosen polish to the nail so well, I've noticed that even some of my worst for chipping polishes have stuck around perfectly with no chips or peels in sight for a fair while, which with my hands on job is pretty unheard of. Red polish stained have also become unheard of, with the CND Base Coat working so well to prevent staining on the nail, my nail beds are left stain free which I love just as much as the longevity this gives my nail polish. 

Now an absolute staple for my frequent nail polish application, this CND Stickey Base Coat costs £8.95 and is available to buy on Cult Beauty. 

What's your go-to base coat? Do you have any Cult Beauty recommendations?
