Orly Polish, Rubberised Base Coat 18 ml

I've been using this for years and still maintain it is the best base coat ever! I never get staining on my nails after taking my polish off and the rubbery texture means the polish never peels either. I've found though that you do need to use a good glossy topcoat like seche vite or HK Girl to get the best wear out of your Mani.Works on both natural and acrylic. The only time I ever use anything else is when I need a peel off base.

Used to eschew home manicures as they never lasted longer than a day without major chipping. Now I wouldn't dream of applying polish without this. Current average length it lasts with this before chipping is 4 days, which for me is extraordinary. The first coat of colour over this never looks as perfectly smooth as without so you always need a second coat but it's well worth it.

Absolutely delighted with this base coat. It smoothed itself on to my nails and the coloured coat applied over it clung on for longer than I'd known before. The ordinary nail polish looked vivid and smooth with this excellent, tough base coat. When my nails were cleaned again, they looked healthy - so much better than with ordinary base coats. I'm not going to buy any other make. The product arrived over a week earlier than the date given. Very impressive.

Excellent - polish stays on super well with this, I love it. I can imagine if I picked at my nails or kept polish on for too long it would tear them & they'd end up in bad condition but I don't see that as an issue as I'll remove it properly & in good time

Not as good as I thought it would be. Despite using this and a top coat of the same make I have found that nail varnish does not last as long as the OPI base and top coat that I also use. It's okay but was hoping (having read other reviews) that it would last a lot longer - varnish starts chipping off after 3 days. Will stick to the OPI which I have found to be much better.

It really works! As in, I apply it before I apply my nail varnish on, and I have gotten five days worth of wear already - and this is with doing housework (cleaning, cooking) and having hands in water. The only drawback is that it doesn't seem to protect the nails from staining (with dark polish), which is annoying.

Shipping was great but the base coat is good...not great. So it's good but there are a few polishes it does not...peels right off my nails with glittery and frosted polishes. Stays on great with creme and matte polishes.

This stuff will keep your varnish on much longer, but it has ruined my nails. They are all weak and flaking now. I usually have lovely and strong healthy nails and now I can't grow them at all because they are splitting on me and that is since using Bonder. It's a pity because it does work well.
