Bonder | Nail Polish Base Coat | Rubberized Basecoat for Long-Lasting Manicures & Pedicures | Non-Toxic | 0.6 fl oz

I’ve struggled with my nails for years. Traditional polish would peel off within hours, and while gel manicures lasted longer, repeated use and removal gradually left my nails thinner and more damaged. I had pretty much accepted that long-lasting manicures just weren’t in the cards for me. Then I discovered Orly Bonder. I honestly wasn’t expecting much, but the difference has been dramatic. For the first time, I can keep a manicure looking good for 7–10 days without major chipping or peeling. My polish adheres better, my nails stay protected, and I’m no longer constantly touching up or starting over. The biggest surprise is that my natural nails are actually improving. Instead of relying on gels or enhancements, I’ve been able to grow my own nails while keeping them polished and protected. Combined with regular nail oil and gentle filing, this has completely changed my nail routine. I’ve tried a lot of nail products over the years, and very few have made such an obvious difference. If you struggle with polish longevity, this is the one product I’d recommend first.

I stopped using all gel nail products but wanted a way to wear nail polish for two weeks, and this delivers! When I prep my nails properly and use this base coat, my manicures and polish lasts two full weeks. I've gone as far as 3 weeks without a chip, but the growth and wear at the tips (it does wear by that time from daily abuse caused by me to my nails) by then is becoming apparent. It applies easily in one quick coat and dries sticky to grip the polish. It works well and helps me have healthier nails with longer polish grip. I'm extremely happy with it!

First, I should clarify that I never put color on my fingernails - my job and hobbies necessitate short nails, and I think color on them would look silly- at least for me. Toenails are a different story, however - color looks great on bare feet, in strappy heels and flip flops. Orly chemists really knocked it out of the park with this one! Their marketing / packaging designers, too. It's a great weight for a base coat and the rubberized finish is *perfect* for bonding to gorgeous colors that last and last. Despite being a light orange liquid (which I think looks cool paired with the purple handle and label print) it protects your nail from discoloration and by itself, even leaves a durable layer of protection and nice level of clear shine. It dries pretty quickly, given the additional texture it has that its competitors do not. I love that the exterior finish of the bottle and handle have sort of a rubberized feel that mimics the polish inside. And the brush is made of long, sturdy bristles in a wide, flat, (slightly tapered at the edges) configuration that holds plenty of product & makes distributing this base coat across your nail super easy - in most cases I only need to dip into the bottle once and can cover up to three nails, each in one pass. This stuff truly is great - no need to look further for a reliable base coat as it is superior at what it does.

this base polish is super nice! i got it because with me being a dog groomer, my nails would constantly chip or the polish would be completely lifted off my nail. this base coat keeps the polish on for a long time, and doesn’t peel like typical bases. the polish goes on nice and dries quick

This works very well to bond the nail polish to the nail. Keeps it fromcoming off so easily. It’s thin, just like other base coats. Easy to apply and it’s clear. Doesn’t leave much of shine, feels sticky to the touch after it dries, that’s normal. It dries very fast.

Best base. My manicures last longer than gel polish using this with indie and boutique polishes + otd topcoat (

Love this base coat! I use it with Orly polish and topcoat. It absolutely helps my manicure to last longer. Easy to apply and dries quickly. Highly recommend!

This base coat is fantastic. The rubber cap makes it very easy to open even when the cap is stuck on a little bit, and it's quite a large bottle too! I use Orly Bonder to apply chrome powder onto regular nail polish and it works fantastically! Would buy again :-)

Lovely application brush, smooth formula and it really does help polish stay on longer. Felt like it thickened my nail too.

Excelente base para hacer durar esmaltes. Seca rapidísimo. Cumplió con mis expectativas.

Excellent product, excellent service

There is nothing quite like this bonder. It feels like a high quality rubber finish. Most recently, I’ve used it to seal a badly-damged nail while it was under repair. It worked liked NOTHING else could have. It’s great as a basecoat for regular nail polish too, of course. My go-to. Highly recommend.
