Probelle vs. Dry Nails: Hydrating Base Coat Showdown for Brittle Fix We’ve finally tested the Probelle Hydrating Base Coat, and the verdict is clear: it’s a game-changer for dehydrated, brittle nails. Ours were prone to breakage, so we applied this as a base layer, expecting moisture—what we found was more than hydration. The coat softens rough cuticles, leaving our nails with a radiant, polished sheen. Best of all, it extends polish life by preventing lift, making our manicures last. Yet, the real win? It visibly nourishes. Within weeks, ours were less prone to snapping and more resilient. No harsh chemicals, just nourishing ingredients that soothe and strengthen. For us, it’s not just a base coat; it’s the foundation of happy, healthier nails. If your hands battle dryness, trust us—this is worth the investment.
