What is my favorite base coat?

I was ask recently if I could choose one base coat what would it be.

Oh my! that is sort of a hard question because everyone has different types of nails and one thing might work for one persons nails and not another. Another factor that I always considered was what type or color of polish would be going over that base coat.
So after giving it some thought I decided to write about my three favorite base coats and why.

For instance: If I were going to do something similar to the American French Manicure look with clear on the nail bed and off white tips, then I would use a clear base coat my choice would be Seche Vite crystal clear base or Poshe clear base coat because you are wanting the natural nail to show through.
If I were doing a polish color my choice would be Seche Vite Ridge filler which has a milky white color to it.
And if I had a customer that is happy and faithful at keeping up with their Daily Maintenance Program (yes they are some women that do) then I would use the product that they bring with them.

So I guess my round up on my favorite base coats would be in this order.
First choice would be Seche Vite ridge filler.( my absolute favorite base coat )
Second choice would be Seche Vite crystal clear.
Third choice would be Poshe clear base coat.

What is your favorite base coat? Is there one you would like to tell us about?
