The OPI Natural Nail Base Coat caught my eye as I was looking for a good quality base coat to add to my nail care routine. Its reputation for providing a nice foundation for nail polish made it a must-try. Upon using it, I immediately appreciated its thin consistency, which made application smooth and easy without any goopiness. It lays down a nice base, ensuring that the color polish that goes on top looks even and adheres well.
However, there are a couple of drawbacks. The brush design is somewhat flawed; it doesn't reach all the way down to the bottom of the bottle. This means those last few drops, which you're essentially paying for, become frustratingly unreachable as you near the end. Additionally, the cost factor is a bit puzzling. Lacquer polish, including this OPI base coat, tends to be pricier than gel polish. I've found sets of gel polish for less than the price of one bottle of this lacquer base coat, which makes me question the pricing strategy. Despite its high quality, the value proposition becomes a bit skewed when you consider the cost and the design oversight with the brush.
In summary, the OPI Natural Nail Base Coat serves its purpose well with a few caveats. If you're willing to overlook the brush issue and are okay with the higher price point compared to gel options, it's a solid choice for ensuring your nail polish looks its best.

Just what I was looking for

Nothing extravagant, simple and works well. I am trying to grow out my natural nails after years of damaging them using acrylics. This stuff helps a ton and adds a cute shine to the natural nail that I quite love. It’s simple quiet and cute. There was a learning curve. The first time I tried it, the polish peaked off by the next morning. But this is because I didn’t prepare my nails. I didn’t wash them or get any oil off of them so it didn’t stick to the nail. But with the proper preparation….buffing, cleaning and dehydrating it will stay on for two weeks and honestly I’ve been reapplying within a week because my nails grow so fast!! But this never chips and looks good and is affordable.

GOES ON EASY AND LIKE THAT THERE ARE 3 IN 1!
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024
Really like OPI nail products. I was so excited to see this 3 in 1 polish, so I tried it immediately. It flows on easily. Used as a base coat and top coat. The reason for only 4 stars, is this product does not dry as fast. It takes a longer time. But, the finish is very smooth and pretty--like a lacquer.

This polish dries quickly and is easy to put on. Stays on for a long time. I never use more than 3 coats. Have soft nails.

I love the way it stayed on. I even put on a second coat because it really look good even though it was a basecoat.

Base and top coat polish
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2024
I purchased this along with a colored polish from OPI. This is a base and top coat all in one. It dries quickly and leaves a beautiful glossy finish. It is not a thin polish so you don't have to worry about dripping or making a mess. The perfect topper to any polish!
