    I bought this nail strengthener before I read reviews and I was pretty nervous after reading them. The other reviews are correct though -- your nail polish will peel off if you use this as a base...

    This is not a base coat. Its a nail strengthener. I do my nails with an actual basecoat on Saturday and then when it chips on I use this by itself. If you want to use it as a basecoat you will have...

    Honestly, I regret buying this lol. It was good for the first day but after that it just started peeling and coming off. It even happened to my mom as well. Never buying this again.

    As other reviewers have said, this is just awful as a base coat. It makes nail polish peel off in sheets after just a day or two. I also didn't notice any major improvements in nail strength/length...

    I use this only as a strengthener not a base or top coat period. My nails usually get to a certain length and just break. With this they feel stronger and I have not had a tear or break yet. I...

    For some reason, this works terribly as a base coat but fantastically as a top coat. It dries very quickly and provides a glossy protective coat that lengthens the life of my manicure.

    I am shocked with all of the negative reviews on this product. For one I do not use Tough Cookie as a base coat or a top coat maybe that's why I'm having success with it. I have natural nails...

    This stuff peels right off my nails in less than a day! With or without nail polish over it, it just peels, all of it. Did Orly tested this before putting it on the market??? Can´t say if it will...

    In the NZ market, there isn't many products out there to choose from, and what we do have is very expensive. At $13 for 9mL its half the price of OPI , which is why I bought it. I expected a brand...

    Worst base coat I have ever used. Like many others this makes my nail polish peel off in sheets within a day and my nails are no stronger for using it. Horrible, and it cost me $13 (NZ) for a...
