I hate to be one of only a few disagreeing, but this stuff really tore up my nails when I used it. They turned yellow and started flaking apart, it was horrible. (I don't have terribly healthy...

Pretty disappointed with this. I've tried it about 5 or 6 times now, and I haven't noticed that it makes any difference in the life of my nail polish. It works about as well as any other base coat...

Definitely fell victim to hype with this one.. People say they get 2 weeks of wear? Well then I must be doing something wrong.. No matter what I always get tip shrinkage, and chips the SAME day. I...

I have just started using this, but it got me through 5 days with no chipping. At the end of day 5 , one nail had a chip, So I decided to redo them, but it could be because the polish I had on was...

Every time I use this, I can literally count the minutes until my nail polish chips. I've used every this method mentioned on website. I think it was a colossal waste of money!!

Great base coat. I use this one all the time. It doesn't last a full 2 weeks, but I can get a nice 6 days of wear with this along with seche vite top coat. Highly recommend.

I love bonder, before I started using this my nail polish would peel off in one sheet. Now it will stay on for at least 5-4 days. I'm a cashier and my hands take a beating everyday, bonder has been...

I really like Bonder. It definitely makes my manis last longer-this plus Orly No chip is the magic formula to keep my nail polish in place with no chipping. I don't notice it drying my nails...

Didn't make any difference for me. I applied directly to nails. It did a great job of staining them. I think it may also have caused them to peel really badly. It has taken me about a year to grow...

I've only used this twice, so I will have to come back and update, but so far I'm in love! I used the sandwich technique (bonder, 2 coats of polish, bonder, top coat). However, I did put Poshe base...

This base coat did nothing for nails. This was a disappointment. It was a complete waste of money and time.

FINALLY! A base coat that feels like it's actually working. For being such a popular, "high end" nail polish brand, OPI effing sucks when it comes to top and base coats. I gave up on their top coat...

When I used Bonder directly on my nails, they looked dry when I removed it after a week. Isopropyl alcohol, which is drying, is second on the ingredient list, so that's the likely reason.

I'm surprised to see some of the comments on here. Using this with Seche Vite gives me manicures that last and last. I haven't kept it on long enough to see how long it takes to chip, given that I...
