This is helping my nails
I had fake nails for over 13 years. I have a very hard time with peeling and soft nails. It is very difficult for polish to stay on my nails. This product seems to be working better than anything else I have tried.

Did not work for me
When it comes to soft. weak, peeling nails that split and break easily, I have had a lifetime sentence. I have probably tried thousands of dollars' worth of polishes, treatments and supplements hoping something would work for me. Sorry to say that the Orly Nail Defense did not work for me. Since ...

Do Not Recommend
So I wore this stuff for months. I loved it at first. I was using it as a nail-biting deterrent, and even recommended it to people. Around the same time, I noticed I was really itchy - I have sensitive skin and am allergic to many things, so I brushed it off as normal. It took me weeks to realize I was reacting to this polish!! My skin was cracking and scaly at this point. It went away when I stopped using it. I would avoid using this product if you are a sensitive person like me. To be fair, I've never had a reaction like this to any product, I'm only allergic to being outside!! Besides that, I was happy to throw this bottle away. It kept chipping, and when it would, the rest of it would peel off. It did help me stop biting my nails, but instead I started picking at the polish since it would chip so easily. And it smelled like a glass of Everclear. It was so strong. Ugh.
I would buy again
goes on easy with large brush
Yes, I have purchased this product in the past.
Great as a base coat.
Seems to be making a difference
Nails feel stronger after just two weeks
I would recommend trying it out!
I have always had brittle nails. I've tried lots of products with little improvement. I bought this Orly product on a whim after peeling off a gel manicure. I have been really happy with the results. It has a normal nail polish odor, nothing unusual as others mentioned in their review. I can't say how it works as a top coat to polish, I only ever used it as a clear coat on my bare nails and I've been really happy to see an improvement in my nail strength and length for the first time EVER.
