Orly Nail Defense, 0.6 Ounce

This product has really helped my nail growth.

I have used Orly Nail Defense for many years. My nails so easily break, split, and often tear down into the quick. Yes, I take lots of vitamins, but my nails are weak and ridged no matter what.I discovered Nail Defense and have used it continuously - for at least 10 years and maybe longer. I used to get it at Sally’s Beauty Supply, but many Sally’s closed. Even before that it started being hard to find it even if I found a store open.Then I discovered I could buy it from Amazon. No problem since. I always have two or three bottles.The only problem, and it’s not enough to keep me from loving it, is that when the bottle gets low it becomes hard to get the brush in the product, and it gets thick. At that point, it’s barely usable.But I still think it is the best thing out there to protect weak nails like mine. A few coats and they’re as hard as an artificial nail, and I can grow long nails as long as I want if I use it often. If you want polish, it goes on so smoothly with Nail Defense underneath.

Love this product! As I've aged my nails have become thinner and easy to break. This product definitely helps! I apply two layers and repeat the application in three days or so over the original polish. After about two weeks I remove with acetone and start over. It can also be used as a basecoat and topcoat for my colored polish. Oh, and it's fast drying. Highly recommend

I have brittle nails that chip and break easily. I love to paint them, but that seems to make them worse. I researched this item and read that it has natural ingredients and should help strengthen nails. I gave it a try and so far, so good. The polish went on easily and was glossy and made my nails look beautiful. It lasted about a week (although it hard to tell because it is clear) and doesn't seem to be harming my nails. My only complaint is that it smells a bit weird, but I don't think that this should keep you from buying it.

As I have gotten older my nails seem to chip a lot I have a hard time growing them I am 62 so I have tried many nail strengtheners like Sally Hansen, Revlon, Perfect Nails I could go on and on I came across this and my nails have been growing because it actually does strengthen my nails and keeps them from chipping I usually put two coats on and then every other day another coat for a week and then I take him off and repeat. Also use it for base coat and then put color on and use it for a top coat works out perfectly that way also. May seem a little expensive but the quality you're paying for is worth it I forgot to mention the bristles that you apply it with are perfect I don't know how to describe it but it puts the nail straightener on very nice and even.

This is the only strengthen that has stopped my nails from splitting and peeling and helps them grow long and strong. I'll definitely buy again and again and again.

I was using Sally Hansen products with no luck. This works so much better. It does thicken over time just like nail polish so I had to throw out about 1/4 of it because when it is thick it doesn’t apply the thin layer like when it is opened. I wish it wasn’t so expensive.

Not that great. Better nail stuff out there
