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.

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.
It works
Tried this for one week and my nails look much improved. They were so damaged from gels and I needed repair work.
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.
Chemo nails
I bought this to use while I undergo chemo. Some potential side effects are peeling, splitting and lifting nails. I have used this product twice a week since I started treatment and have had zero nail issues. The smell is a little odd.
