Best stuff
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this nail polish. My nails are very damaged and weak but this makes them look lovely. I use it weekly and it stays put all week long.

Tried and true base coat for 9 years!

Great Product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff really works! It gives the impression of eliminating all my ridges. While each nail appears to have no ridges, if I take all the polish off, ridges are very visible. Any product that does that will be on my 're-order' list for a very long time.

Pretty good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail base does a good job, but it’s not great for prepping my nails that have ridges. If you don’t have ridges, this is a great option.

Where has this been all my life?!
I do my own nails and typically by day 3 I have to take off the existing polish because of how unkept they look. But ladies, this stuff is a miracle product for me! The pictures I attached to this review are from DAY 5! I have never kept nail polish on this long and not a single chip on any of my nails. I used the base coat and the What The Gel top coat. Although I love Ella & Mila nail colors, the color pictured is from a different brand. Which just goes to show how amazing Ella & Mila products are that they enhance the integrity of other nail polishes!

Base Coat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the base coat to be nice & thick which would cover any ridges in nails giving a much smoother manicure.

Really works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using All About the Base, nail polish and In A Rush top coat for several months. I didn’t expect much because it’s always difficult to find nail polish products with staying power. However I truly am impressed with ella+mila. In the past I had to continuously repair my nails due to chipping. Now I can go for a week to ten days without having to do anything to them, and I’m just living my usual life, not babying my nails. Their base coat, polish and top coat combo are the best and I highly recommend them.

Best base coat yet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the best coat yet and I have been a heavy user of base coats for more than a decade. It is not clear so it took a moment to like it, but it makes the surface smoother and the polish stays longer. Just make sure you wait for it to dry and put it on evenly on the whole nail.
