I bought this as I find nail polish chips on me really quickly - usually within two days, even with a top coat. Ugh. I was hoping this would prevent that and extend the life of my nail polish.
This is not a nail polish, it is a very liquid formula that you apply with a shorter stiffer brush than the usual OPI polish brush.
It dehydates your nails, which supposedly makes the polish stick better and therefore be less prone to chipping. I did not find this to be the case at all - I still get chipping by day two. Disappointing, especially for the price.
I still have this one lying around somewhere at home... but I never use it anymore, for the simple fact that it didn't seem to work. At all.
I rarely paint my nails, despite a huge collection of nail polish (mostly OPI). And I always seem to chip my index fingers, within a day of painting them. When I first saw this product, I just HAD to have it.
When you apply it, it's very runny/watery, and it has a tiny wee brush (not the same size as a standard OPI applicator brush). I put one coat all over my nail; and it instantly soaks in and make my nail look chalky.
Following the instructions, follow with base coat, colour and top coat.
And the result? Still got chips in all the same places, within the same timeframe. Disappointed, to say the least!
