The BEST clear polish
I chose Orly Nail Defense since my finger nails tend to be more brittle or chippy in cold months. This polish can be used as base coat and top coat. It lasts for a couple weeks.

The bottle broke when I started opening the package. The whole top just broke in my hand making a huge mess!!
Great product
Great nail strengthening for my nails. Goes on smoothly and stay on with no chipping or pealing.
Did nothing.
This did not work to help my nails at all. Still cracking. A waste.
