meet my new "Bestie"

Orly's Bonder is the BEST Basecoat I have ever painted on my nails. 

I'm not even exaggerating. 

I frequent Orly's "Polish Parties" for great deals, but I only spring for cute colors and top coats. ​

Never a basecoat. Why? Because few live up to the long-wear promise. So I use whatever is in my stash.

Orly Spring 2021 Collection: Day Trippin'

the best surprise

Inside my seasonal Color Pass from Orly, there was a freebie, Orly Bonder Basecoat. Ding Ding Ding. Winner!!

Anyway, I spent the next month testing each nail color from Orly's Spring 2021 Collection, "Day Trippin.'" 

Why a month? Because (1.) Yes. I am that obsessive, and (2.) I like to see how well nail polish holds up against my daily routine. ​

Orly "Bonder", "Kitsch You Later" & "Glosser"

& here's what happened

I'm usually happy if a color can make it to day three without chipping. But Orly Bonder based manicures lasted over 7 days. Wait. What?

So, I read the label. And this is a RUBBBERIZED basecoat. Sheer genious. literally.

My next manicure lasted 10 days before one nail chipped... a little bit. And that's when Orly's Bonder Basecoat became one of my "Besties."
