Best Base Coat / Top CoatEditors' Pick Winner:Flora 1761 Essential Primer Why: All of Flora 1761's products are 8-free, which is an especially nice trait in a base coat (it's the first layer on your nails, after all). This quick-drying primer has an easy-to-work with thin texture and it creates such a smooth surface for your polish.
Readers' Choice Winner:Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat Why: I have never used a top coat as wonderful as this and it does exactly what it says. It's fast-drying and it keeps colors vivid. I can go for a week without any chipping or fading.
