I purchased this last year and have used it with a variety of base coats, polishes, and top coats from a diverse range of brands.
I own a number of OPI products, and feel they deliver good to excellent results, so had high hopes this product would slow down chipping or peeling nail polish.
Unfortunately, this product hasn't lived up to my expectations, falling far short.
My bottle comes boxed, costs $27 and contains 15mls of a lightweight, clear liquid.
I liken it to using a primer on the nails. It has a very small brush, which lightly coats each nail with the clear liquid, which is almost 'absorbed' into the nail. Certainly I can barely notice it after I paint it on.
It does feel like a nice base for my following Base coat, but despite careful application of polish including base and top coats, this product hasn't lessened chipping issues I have. Which is why I bought it and have consistently used it across plenty of at-home manicures. Disappointing.
If it does make a difference, it's pretty minor, and I don't think noticeable enough to justify spending $27 on a bottle. I won't be repurchasing it.
