The Best Base Coat Nail Polish

Overview

ORLY Bond base coat is a high-quality nail polish that gives excellent results every time. It grips the strong nail lacquer to the nail surface for a lasting hold. The formula is unique and improves lacquer wearability with its comprehensive ingredients.

The ORLY Bond base coat has a smooth rubbery texture and dries very fast. It helps the color bond to the nail holding it for a long 14 days, in conjunction with a good top coat.

The main benefit of a rubber base coat is that it offers you that extra durability. It allows your nail polish to bend and flex with your natural nails instead of working against them which can cause lifting. And it also prevents nail staining from color polish that is hard to remove.

If you’re a nail junkie like we are and often find yourself changing your nail color then our ORLY Bond base coat is for you. It will protect your nail plate from damage caused by the frequent use of removers and gel polish. We love that it goes on easily and how quickly it dries.

Detailed Analysis

Safety

We’re proud to say that our ORLY Bond base coat is cruelty-free, leaping bunny certified, and vegan-friendly. It's formulated without harmful ingredients like formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate, and toluene which can cause allergic contact dermatitis. 

These chemicals can be absorbed into the body through the nail polish so, at ORLY, we stay clear from it in this product. It is completely safe to use and has passed all the necessary safety checks. 

Application

A really good base coat is important as it's the foundation of the manicure. It sets the tone for the mani by being the support structure for the layers of polish applied above it. 

You should start your manicure with this, apply the layers, and finish with the best top coat nail polish.

When applying the base coat it brushes on smoothly and grips to the nail with ease. The lacquer is not too thick and it isn't messy. The award-winning cap helps with the steady grip as it has texture on it that doesn't allow your fingers to slip.

Let’s go through the steps on how to use ORLY's Bond base coat nail polish.

  • Step 1: Make sure your nails are freshly cleaned of oils before applying the base coat.

The base coat is transparent and glossy.

  • Step 2: Gently apply the base coat so that it goes on nice and smooth.

The difference between base coat and top coat nail polish is that they both have different jobs. The base coat protects the nail plate and sets the foundation for the mani, and the top coat protects the nail polish from scratches and lifts.

  • Step 3: Apply two coats of nail polish with 30-second curing in between.

How many layers of nail polish you should apply is often asked, but two is a good amount as an extra layer might feel heavy on your nails.

Our rubberized gripping base coat will extend the wear of your nail polish.

How long to wait between nail polish coats depends on the polish you are using because some use regular polish. Can you use regular nail polish with a gel top coat? It's possible, but regular nail polish takes a really long time to dry so it's best if you have patience.
