Sally Hansen Color Therapy™ Base Coat — Argan Oil Strengthening Nail Treatment, Long-Lasting Protection

This lightweight base coat creates a resilient foundation for polish while delivering conditioning care to help reduce peeling, chipping and breakage. Designed to sit smoothly beneath nail color, the formula combines salon-grade performance with everyday nail nourishment so manicures look cleaner and last longer. It’s part of the Color Therapy™ range of strengthening treatments focused on healthier-looking nails without a complicated routine.

How does this base coat protect my manicure?

The base coat seals the nail surface and improves adhesion for color, reducing the chance of polish lifting or chipping. Its film-forming finish creates a buffer between nail and color that helps preserve the manicure’s appearance for days.

• Creates a smooth base to improve polish adhesion
• Reduces chipping and lifting for longer wear
• Prepares nails for even, streak-free color application

In what way does argan oil benefit my nails?

Argan oil is included to add moisturizing and conditioning properties that help nails look less brittle and more supple. It supports the nail plate’s surface, contributing to a healthier, glossier finish without feeling greasy.

• Light conditioning to help prevent dryness and flaking
• Leaves a natural-looking sheen under polish
• Works while you wear it—no extra steps required

Will this strengthen nails that chip or peel easily?

Yes—this formulation is created to reinforce vulnerable nails by providing strengthening ingredients and protective coverage. Regular use under color or alone can help nails resist everyday wear and minimize splitting and peeling.

• Targets common issues like peeling, cracking and breakage
• Supports nail integrity as part of a weekly routine
• Pairs easily with other treatments from the Color Therapy™ collection

How should I use the base coat for best results?

Apply one even layer to clean, dry nails before your chosen Sally Hansen polish. Allow it to dry briefly, then proceed with color; finish with a top coat for maximum shine and longevity.

• Apply under nail polish or wear alone for a natural look
• Use consistently as part of your manicure routine
• Combine with other Color Therapy™ treatments for added strength
