Concealing Base Coat

This polish is fantastic. Beautiful color and very nice coverage in just one coat. It's a perfect day to day color to wear with or without stamping.

I’ve used my first bottle so much I need to order a new one soon. Work’s beautifully as an ombre French. Sorry it’s been two weeks and only now took a pic.

I'm very pleased with it.I just have that alone on my nails as nail polish & let me tell ya it looks nice. I'm a women of color & it shows up pretty nice. I will be purchasing it again!

If you have not tried this you're missing out! First of all it is not as dark or as purple as this image shows, but it is wonderful as a smoothing base coat and for disguising a very visible nail line. I'll never be without!
( This is 2 thin coats)

My fingers are prone to blowing blood vessels for no reason. Just… boom. It has happened for years, and can be anywhere on any finger. Well, as I discovered after removing my latest mani, it can even occur on the nail bed, under the nail. There’s a first time for everything. So I got out my Maniology Concealing Basecoat and went to work. Two coats later, although it helped dull the margins a little bit, the bleed was still pretty obvious, as shown in the picture. No jellies for me for the rest of the summer! That aside, this is a nice basecoat that goes on smoothly and evenly. The barely-lavender hue makes for an excellent foundation for any color, and I will continue to use it anyway, even though it did not conceal effectively for me.

Really good! At first I was worried that the purple would make my natural nails look muddled, but it just makes them look natural. My old base coat (Seche Vite) ran out so I wanted to try this one, loving it so far! It keeps my manis on for longer and my nailbeds healthy

I love this Concealing Base Coat! Whenever I am in between mani's and need just a little protection and coverage, this stuff works almost like a BB cream, but for nails! Keeps my tips from snagging and adds just enough color and shine that they look extra healthy. I've painted over it a few times too, and I think it does keep my nails from staining! This is definitely a keeper.
I've even used this polish AS a mani feature. Two coats, stamped over with a lilac color, and matte topcoat!

I wish I had ordered this sooner! My nails are slightly discolored from always wearing polish but this base coat makes them look perfect

I put this in my nails after a dark blue and bright orange manicure where I couldn’t get all the little specs off. It covered perfectly and looked very natural.

It was such a nice rest while I planned my next big mani.

I have very stained nails...which is normal and not a bad thing...except that it means negative space manis or naked nails are a no-no because if the ugly discoloration!

sOoOoOo. Along comes this concealing base. And as a trained color theory person, I know that purple/lavender is the required color for cancelling out yellows.
So I knew this might actually work for me!
Nothing else has for many years. I've tried quite a few yellow correcting bases. And I refuse to use chemicals or harsh treatments to try to unstain them.

Sooo, I snatched this up as soon as I found out about it.

And?!? It WORKS!!

My nails don't look fully naked with it on (because I need two coats for full cancellation). But they don't look stained either!

They look like normal, healthy, neutral colored nails.
Y'all don't know how big a deal this is for me.

I've already bought like 3 backups.
I love negative space manis and this changes the game for me! I'm finally able to LOOK like I have fairly naked nails without the ugly discoloration!

So. Try it.
If you're like me and you want to combat that staining temporarily or for a mani or even a naked nail look...this concealing base is a fabulous way to do just that!

The color is too opaque to be a base coat in my opinion. Also, aside from that, It’s very thick and leaves streaks. It’s a nice color tho. Just wish it was a little more sheer.

My nails have a bit of a "smoker yellow" staining from various polishes. This concealing base coat is great for yellow staining because the purple kind of cancels it out. And it was a great price, too!

I LOVE this bc. I have many tinted base coats from may indies and they are all too opaque and applies streaky for some reason. Ruins the ethereal semi-sheer look of the polish. This applies like a dream and I use 1 coats if my polish is very sheer to hide my nail line and it's the perfect light lavender to go under my polishes. I love this so much and I want Maniology to make a dusty blue and sheer grey version please!! My only issue with this is it stays sticky no matter how long you wait. Should make a note that it's a sticky base bc the first time I used it, I waited forever and it never dried. Performs beautifully.

I use the concealing base coat for every mani, It provides uniform neutral color to paint over but I like it most because it keeps the polish from staining my natural nails. Also it can be worn by itself to give a skin tone look.

Use it several times a week does not smudge

This is perfect! Looks so natural!

It was cool

Works great

Love all the Maniology stamping polishes. Super high quality and really cute designs.

Do not care for this product at all !!!!

At first I thought this had too much color in it but once I put other polishes over it I realized it worked perfectly. My Polish seemed to pop a bit more and lasted longer.

Very easy to use and covers well

required 2 coats to anything. certainly didnt get the results pictured.

It’s so pretty you could just stamp on it itself.

Perfect for a French or perfect on its own
