storage: think of mooncat nail lacquers like vampires: they feel most at home in cool, dark places. store them accordingly to keep them looking and applying their best. lacquer exposed to too much heat or sunlight may change in color or consistency over time...and just have generally bad vibes.

Works really well
I used this after I put the primer on and my nails had a nice clean base to go on. I didn’t even use a top coat and my nails didn’t start showing wear issues till about day 5 I’m sure if I used a top coat would have lasted longer.

Worth it!
Makes a HUGE difference for my nails!

Hardcore Basecoat
Another amazing Mooncat product that you can’t live without!

My perfect base coat
I didn't realize this is a hardening base coat til I sew the reviews but this stuff is magic at keeping my manis chip-free for the longest time (before they were prone to peeling off in one sheet) and the hardness of my nails has never been this good! Will never not use this before doing my nails.

Great Base Coat
The base coat goes on smoothly, dries quickly, and seems to make my polish coats adhere well! My manicures last 5+ days even though I’m not that delicate with my hands. Would recommend!
