The reviewer with the gorg mani above said their nails stayed perfect after a long day of gardening and housework! I personally am an Orly devotee as well — I love pretty much all their products that I’ve tried, and their polish bottles have an excellent grippy handle. After seeing the amazing reviews for the base coat, I tried it too, and I’m blown away. The product calls itself “rubberized,” which is a great way to describe the not unpleasantly sticky way it leaves your nails ready to better stick to polish. The major bonus is that with this, my clumsy self is able to do a better job of painting my nails to begin with. Because of said rubbery stickiness, my polish brush doesn’t slip all over the place or over the edges of my super-short nails. I’m able to do a way cleaner, more precise job, which then lasts longer too. With this and the brand’s top coat, I’m now able to take it for granted that my nails will stay looking pretty good for close to a week. That’s way longer than usual for me, so TL;DR, this is an all-around win-win and a *must* buy.
Promising review: “The BEST. I never do my nails without this stuff. Some additional tips to make your polish last: 1) Wash your hands well, making sure no lotions or oils are still on your nails. 2) Gently buff the tops and tips of your nails to make them just a little rough. 3) Use Orly Bonder under polish. 3) Use a good top coat over your polish (my go-to top coat is Essie Gel Couture). My polish would always chip in a day or two. With this routine it doesn’t chip for days, sometimes 10–14 days and my polish still looks fresh! And I do a lot of cooking, cleaning and have three little kids so I’m not too gentle on my nails.” —Sana I. Jaffer
