I've tried this Glitter Be Gone peel off base coat by Dainty Digits Polish with several different polish formulas such as creme, holo and chunky glitters. It did allow me to peel off any type of polish, but it does work more efficiently when used with the types of polishes it was designed for, such as glitters or multiple coats of other thick polishes. When used as a base under thicker or multi layered polishes, the polish can generally be peeled off in one or two large sheets, which is much quicker than soaking them with cotton balls and uses much less elbow grease than scrubbing them. When uses with thinner polishes like one coat creams, the polish can still be peeled off, but shreds to several tiny pieces because it's not as thick and strong to withstand the peeling. You can see in the photo that my 2 coats of the thinner pink polish came off in more pieces than the thicker rose gold glitter polish.
I found the best method for peeling off any polish to be with tweezers. Starting at one corner, use the tweezers to get under a corner of polish and peel off as smoothly as possible.
The most important thing is that this base coat did not damage my nails whatsoever. I sometimes used to pick off my polish when wearing regular base coat but I had to stop because it would peel of layers of my nail with it and leave them weak. Since this b/c is designed to peel off, it didn't adhere to my nails and cause damage at all. Plus I found it played well with all my polishes. I even tested it out as a base by itself and also with a strengthening base coat underneath it, and it did not seem to affect the performance. I think I will continue to layer Glitter Be Gone over my strengthening b/c because I liked how it made my nails extra strong and protected but allowed for ease of removal.
In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this product for anyone looking to try a peel off base. It is great for those who like to change their manis often or swatch several polishes in one day. It was even reasonably durable and lasted an average of 2 days without much wear. The only time it really seemed to start peeling off is if I banged a nail against something. It generally held up to water in the shower and even washing dishes.
This product is available at daintydigitspolish.storenvy.com. (Not affiliated.) It is currently on sale for $3 + approximately $2.50 shipping. I would consider it a great value and have had positive experiences with products and customer service from this brand in general. Plus it ships promptly and I usually receive my Dainty Digits orders within a week.
I will definitely be using this base whenever I want to be able to do a quick polish change or am using thick polishes that are a pain to remove the traditional way.
