Bonder | Nail Polish Base Coat | Rubberized Basecoat for Long-Lasting Manicures & Pedicures | Non-Toxic | 0.6 fl oz

I do my own pedicures since my feet are ticklish. And I like Orly Bonder as a Base Coat because it's easy to apply and it keeps my polish from chipping...it holds the polish in place and, is a great product for what I need.

First, I should clarify that I never put color on my fingernails - my job and hobbies necessitate short nails, and I think color on them would look silly- at least for me. Toenails are a different story, however - color looks great on bare feet, in strappy heels and flip flops. Orly chemists really knocked it out of the park with this one! Their marketing / packaging designers, too. It's a great weight for a base coat and the rubberized finish is *perfect* for bonding to gorgeous colors that last and last. Despite being a light orange liquid (which I think looks cool paired with the purple handle and label print) it protects your nail from discoloration and by itself, even leaves a durable layer of protection and nice level of clear shine. It dries pretty quickly, given the additional texture it has that its competitors do not. I love that the exterior finish of the bottle and handle have sort of a rubberized feel that mimics the polish inside. And the brush is made of long, sturdy bristles in a wide, flat, (slightly tapered at the edges) configuration that holds plenty of product & makes distributing this base coat across your nail super easy - in most cases I only need to dip into the bottle once and can cover up to three nails, each in one pass. This stuff truly is great - no need to look further for a reliable base coat as it is superior at what it does.

I usually don't use base coats because I don't want to spend the extra time. I tried this because a very expensive nail polish I bought flaked off starting the same day I did my nails. I tried this and there's been no flaking at all as of day 6 and counting. It dries fast, which is a big plus. I'll use this with all my nail polishes from now on.

Absolutely the best base coat I have ever used. I washed my fingers with plain water, then swiped my nails with a little alcohol and applied this base coat. My polish still looks great and not chipped after doing dishes by hand and cleaning my house. Love it.

The base left a matte finish clear coat that was a bit tacky. I used london kur nail vail on my fingernails and OPI on toes. Both have held up well but my fingernails have chips on the edges. My nails tend to split and rip so I haven’t found anything that really helps stop that. But overall it a nice product and I would buy again

Orly Bonder works well. I do my own nails. The bonder helps reduce my nails from absorbing colors from dark nail polish. It also helps my nail polish adhere better to the nail. As a base coat, the ponder smooths out ridges on my nail and allows the polish to glide on smoothly. Orly Bonder dries quickly. It’s easy to apply. The thickness is comparable to nail polish textures

I have to say that this is definitely an amazing base quote. I’m just coming off of acrylics and I had some lumps and bumps and just using regular nail polish. I saw every lump there was I tried this and it looked as if I buffed out my nails, no lumps no bumps And my nail polish lasted a pretty decent amount of time. This is my go to base coat when I want the job done well.

This is the best base coat I’ve found! My color doesn’t chip, only wears along the tips.
