ORLY Breathable Lacquer - Treatment+Color - Crystal Healing - 18 ml/0.6 oz

Am including a few pics in different lighting so you can see the color, which I love, but the best thing about it is how easy it is to apply with flawless results.I am busy and not the kind of person who spends a ton of time on my nails, but when I needed them to look nice, I would apply 2 coats of color (Opi "Throw Me a Kiss") and then a clear top coat (Seche Vite). When done slowly and carefully, it looks amazing, but takes forever and invariably I'd smudge it somewhere. Plus, it would chip (usually in less than a week) and if I didn't give them downtime sans polish, my nails would eventually get brittle.Enter Orly Breathable polish. Two coats goes on easy (isn't streaky and you don't have to wait forever for the first to dry) and looks awesome, no top coat needed. And it lasts longer than the 3 coat method I'd been using! See photos to judge for yourself. Plenty of shimmer and shine in half the time! This is starting to sound like an advertisement so I'll stop. Off to see if it comes in other colors I'd like :-)P.S. if you don't currently take a multivitamin, consider it. I started one this year at the recommendation of my doc to boost my vitamin D levels and was surprised to note my nails started looking healthier within a month. I think there is Vitamin E and Biotin and other stuff in it that's good for hair and nails. Wish I'd started taking it sooner!

I love this nail polish. It is great for every day wear. A light, pretty color.

On the left applied a thin layer. In the right applied a thicker layer. Overall very satisfied with the look. A thin layer feels more breathable on the nail.

Everyone should have this color, or one like it, in their collection. It is the perfect super-light shimmery pink. The irridescent blue-purple highlights are gorgeous and subtle. It is buildable, but after 3 coats it was still somewhat transparent. I don't love jellies, so next time I will use this over a thin coat of a very light pink cremè, just so my nail line doesn't show. I find this type of shade very useful for those times when I'm traveling and/or very busy with no time for touchups. It can take more of a beating without looking ragged. My manicures usually last a solid week with maybe 1 small touchup in between, but with this one I might be able to get away with no touchups.

I really love this polish. I like how it’s breathable so I can put nail growth serums on under it and on top and it still works. My nails have grown quickly despite wearing this polish regularly. It’s really nice that the formula doesn’t require a top or base coat. One thing to know before buying the crystal healing color is that it’s SUPER SHEER. It won’t cover a long without many layers. Personally, I like this because it’s very natural looking. I can tell my nails are done but it goes with any outfit. Another thing to know is that if you shake the bottle, you will get super bad bubbles when applying it to your nails. Don’t shake beforehand!!!

I'm not typically one to follow trends but right now "chrome" nails are in and I think they look really pretty. Rather than going to a salon or anything, I figured I'd try to find a natural-ish type nail polish on Amazon. This fit the bill! It is really a beautiful color on. Yes, it does chip, but I'm following its "one step manicure" claim. Maybe with a base and top coat it would last longer, but I'm out of mine.With only one coat you can't really see any chips because it looks like "your nails but with a purple sheen in the light". With 3 coats you can see the chips. It's a very unique color, no matter how you apply. Overall I'm happy with this purchase.

I tried this new brand after seeing it reviewed on The Vintage Bombshell. Could not find locally so Amazon came through again! I first tried 2 coats. It did stay tacky fir about an hour. Mine lasted 4 days with average wear. I loved this sheer color though. Next application I only used one coat & applied my quick dry topcoat Seche Vite. One coat actually gives a prettier opal sheen. If your nails are yellowed any just slightly buff them prior to applying polish. This color gives your nails/ hands a clean soft look. I have ordered a pink shade. Can’t wait to see how it will look on my toes. For a girl who has over 200 colors of polishes ( love OPI) this may become my new favorite brand.

Love this nail polish! Orly has managed to create a beautiful, non-toxic line of nail polish that definitely lasts longer than any others I have tried over the years. It dries quickly and does not chip. On average, I replace it after two weeks, when my nail grows out from under it. Fantastic nail polish! Wish there were more color choices.
