Nail Medic CC Cream Laquer Review

This first impression blog post doesn't need very many words, the pictures can do all the talking.
But here's a little background:

Like all nail polish addicts, my nails have become badly stained - some worse than others. Thanks to China Glaze But of Corpse, my right thumb has been in pretty bad shape. It's grown out some, but the yellow is still very prominent. Sometimes I just want to let my nails go naked in public, but I'm always embarrassed that the yellow is too noticeable. So I was doing my normal scope-out at Wal-mart - and I have to say, they are really doing a great job of stepping up their nail care section! They now have this nail treatment brand called Nail Medic. I think the parent company is called Pretty Woman. they have complete step-by-step nail treatments to nurse damaged nails back to health. So i decided to try some out. I'm always in the market for new base coats, so I picked one out of the several options available. I chose the CC Cream Color Correcting Base. On the box, it claims to "instantly whiten & brighten nails" while treating them with green tea extracts and vitamin E.

As with all new things, I like to go in with little to no expectation. At the most, I just thought it would be a patchy clear coat. But man, new things are really working out for me lately! This turned out sooooo much better than I expected!

It made my nail beds whiter and it basically neutralized the yellow on the tips. It looked even better after I applied the second coat. You can even see in the photo that the yellow is virtually gone from my right thumb! This was so exciting to see!

So after it passed the inital first impression test, it was time for the wear test! After I applied the base, I worked on an ombre nail art  (more on my ombre adventures soon!) After a week, this wore so well. normally, I will pick at my nails and seek out weak spots to chip or peel off, but with this base coat, there were none! I had no tip wear or chips after a week of wear! This never happens to me! I didn't do anything special with my topcoat; I just used my normal Seche Vite topcoat. 

The two pictures above from fresh mani to a week later. 

So, I would highly recommend this base coat for anyone in the market to try something new. I would expecially recommend it to anyone trying to neutralize yellow stains on their nails. I have used it for two weeks now, so only time will tell if it has any long-term benefits!
