OrlyNail Bonder Nail Treatment-0.6 oz

This stuff is the real deal. I’ve been using it for years and it’s the best base coat out there. I recently started using it under a gel manicure (without curing this coat) and it even works there, my gel manis used to chip or peel off after a few days and now they last 10. I promise it wont disappoint!

I love to wear press on nails, but felt like there has to be a better way. I found it!!! I came up with a three part system for impress nails, and it works every single time:*Apply one coat of ORLY Bonder*Peel off the plastic tab on the back of the impress nail* quickly brush on NYK1 BOND nail glue onto your natural nail (that already has the orly bonder on it)*apply impress nail and press down.At this point, I've got three levels of adhesion going! This also works great with the impress pedicure toenails

This nail bonder works perfectly on natural nails for helping make your manicures last. I am not a fan of spending a lot of money and going to nail salons, so I do weekly manicures on myself. It took me a few months to learn exactly what products help keep nail polish staying in place without chipping. This nail bonder was recommended to me and it is the first step in my manicures. I begin with the nail bonder, followed by a primer, basecoat, color of choice, and ending with a topcoat. I learned that I need to use all of these products to keep my nails looking their best. This bonder helps adhere to my naked, natural nails, and helps everything else stick to it as it is intended to do. It was a learning process for me, and I am no scientist, but this stuff really does work wonderfully!

This is everything I expected, and more! My nail polish usually doesn't even last 24 hours! I am a photographer who shoots weddings and between changing lenses, digging through bags of equipment, and putting together the lighting kit, my nails do not last! I'll first describe my process and then the end result after 1 week of wearing nail polish.1. Remove all nail polish with remover (obvious, I know)2. Apply 2 layers of Orly Rubberized base coat, wait 15 minutes in between layers3. 30 mins later, apply 2 coats of desired color: I use Trust Fund Beauty - their polish is amazing!4. 1 hour later, apply your top coat: Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Nail CoatOkay, onto the results I got with the above application:My nail polish stayed in tact for 1 week. Here's why I am amazed: my nails survived CRAB PICKING (I live in MD and we literally had a crab feast; my nails came out unscathed), outdoor festivals, moving furniture, packing boxes (I am moving), washing dishes without gloves, doing laundry, cooking, scrubbing, and lastly, sanding rust off of metal parts. Ultimately, sanding the gross rust off is what discolored my nails and kind of ruined them. I'm still incredibly impressed and feel like normal girls don't do as much with their hands as me.DOES IT REALLY MAKE YOUR NAILS PEEL? Okay, I was just DYING to know the answer to this question and the reviews were not specific at all. After 1 week of wear, I removed the nail polish and noticed that on just a few nails the tips appeared to be peeling, ever so slightly. Trust me when I say the peeling was *slight*. It was literally nothing to be concerned about. I did a very gentle buff to the tips of those few nails and it completely removed the few parts that may have been peeling. I think the people who are claiming that it peels your nails are those who PICK at the nail polish. Because it makes sense that the bonder would be strong enough to rip off the top layers of your nails if you pick off the nail polish. So, I recommend to always remove the nail polish with remover and DO NOT PICK AT YOUR NAILS and you'll be totally fine!All in all, amazing product! Worth every penny!

This nail base leaves my nails smooth, hydrated-appearing, and primed for my polish.

This really keeps nail polish from chipping longer. I love it!

Seriously! Anyone doing home manicures or even professionals need to be using Orly Nail Bonder for their basecoat. It's a real game changer. The first time I tried this my manicure lasted 9 days, possibly more too, and the only reason I removed my polish is because I grew tired of the color and wanted to change it. Absolutely no flaking or polish chipping off and my hands are in water all the time. (Old manicure rule of avoiding getting your nails wet until they are completely dry still applies!) I've always destroyed my manicure by addictingly picking off polish at the sign of the first small chip. Anyone else do this? Well, you won't anymore! Another good factor is that Orly Bonder doesn't discriminate either. I've used it with polises of all price ranges with the same great results. Being right handed, nail polish always kind of rubs off exposing the tips of my nails after a few days and although this still happens, exposure of tips of my nails is miniscule and I'm sure I'm the only one who notices! If you're like me and get some hits and misses when you buy new cosmetics & beauty items after reading reviews, try this now! I know I'll never go back to any other base coats and I wonder where this has been all my life! I personally stand by Orly Bonder base coat and I am eager to read any reviews from any who heed my advice. It's been fun to write a blazingly good review on a product too! 💅

I was having trouble getting my manicures to last. I found in one of my groups on facebook the recommendation to apply this first as it could be the pH balance of the nails not interacting well with the polish. This was a good price, quick delivery, and the best part is that it worked! I start with Orly Nailtrition and let it get mostly dry before applying the Orly Bonder. I again let it dry and this is essentially my base coat. I have not really had any trouble since I started using this. Manicures that used to last me 1-3 days will now last me anywhere from 4-6 days before minimal chipping starts and I can even push it to 7-8 days before resetting my mani. This is a must have on hand from now on for me.
