CND Stickey Base Coat Review


I love nail polish. I hate nail polish that chips. All nail polish chips. You can see where I have a problem.

Creative Nail Design's Stickey is a base coat that pretty much glues the nail polish to the nails and solves all chipping problems. Not only does it work, but it works so amazingly well that it takes me twice as long to remove my nail polish now [this may sound like an inconvenience, but when you realize you haven't done your nails in 4 days and they still look brand new, nothing else matters.]

A base coat is an important part of any manicure, but it's especially helpful with dark colors, which tend to stain your nails and show chips more easily.

When combined with a quality top coat, Stickey makes a manicure last days longer than usual, and it makes cheaper nail polishes work like expensive ones.

This is five days after I did my nails. Apart from the ridiculous amount of growth [my nails grow like monsters,] the polish has stayed totally on. That bigger chip near the base of my middle finger was caused by a rogue price gun at work, but that's not Stickey's fault. 

I had a hard time finding Stickey at my ULTA, they always seemed to be sold out [to its credit.] I finally found it at Trade Secret for $7.99 [not bad considering I've had it for months and it's not even halfway empty.]

I've noticed that Walgreens and CVS are selling other CND products but I've yet to see Stickey, maybe they'll have it in the future. For now, if you don't have an ULTA or a Trade Secret near you, Amazon is your best bet.
