Orly Won't Chip - Chip Resistant Top Coat

Orly is a fairly well known brand with a reasonable reputation so I was interested in seeing how it stacked up to my fave Sally Hansen Double Duty. I am pretty disappointed. It has your average round skinny brush, while i am more into a wider flat headed one, so it takes quite a few strokes to cover a nail. I found it disturbed my undercoat, making it a bit streaky when I was sure the undercoat was dry. As for being chip resistant, I applied it on Friday and my nails had chipped by Sunday. Multi-purpose base and top coats that say nothing about being chip-resistant have given way more lasting-power for my polish in the past!

I was so looking forward to this product as somehow I always chip my nails when I'm making coffee at work but sadly the name is very misleading.

This nail polish will cause chipping and if anything it seemed to make mine chip more. I applied my nail polish on Thursday morning for a wedding on Sunday and work on Monday. However it was already chipped by Saturday and I did not even do anything extreme with my hands unless you count washing dishes as damaging (and really if a no chip nail polish can't handle that what's the point).

I also didn't like how thin the actual brush was. Instead of being quite wide like most nail polishes it was thin. I'm not sure if this is a standard orly brush since I normally use opi but it meant I took longer to put it on.

Think I'm going to just go back to my opi top coat as that seems to work a lot better

I was so disappointed with this product. I bought this as my nails are always chipping and I had heard that the Orly brand was reliable.

Not the case at all! My nails chipped just as much with this product and the polish eventually became unusable as it got thick in the container.

I didn't really find this made my nail polish last any longer than normal. The thin brush means it's not easy to get a nice even result. I normally like Orly nail polish, so was quite disappointed with this.

This product was really disappointing and does not do what it says it will do. My nails chipped the next day after application!

This was one of the first top coats i bough and i was thoroughly disappointed by the product - it is very thick and does not apply smoothly. If you paint on nail designs, this will cause it to smudge like crazy! The polish takes forever to dry and it does not offer any chip resistance as it promises to. The smell is quite strong as well.

Did not prevent chipping at all! Glad I bought the mini... also it went 'gluggy' and thick before I was halfway done with the bottle. Very disappointed.

I usually use a Sally Hansen or OPI topcoat but wanted to give this a go as I really like a lot of their nail colours. Very disappointed though! My polish barely lasted a day without chipping.. I think I may have been better off not using a topcoat at all :s As others have mentioned, the finish is quite nice so I'll use it again but only when I dont need my nailpolish to last!
