Do your nails turn yellow-ish with use of OPI natural nail base coat over a period of days and weeks and months?

Yes. Every polish will turn your nails yellow, and no polish can claim that it won't stain the nail. The nail yellows from stain and suffocation because covering the nail with laqeur depletes it of oxygen. If you're concerned about the appearance of yellow nails, you can erase it with a cotton swab of peroxide.

Does the base coat have a tint to it? It looks pink in the pictures.

No, not really. I was looking for a pink tint and couldn't see any.

can this be used under gel polish?

Thank you for contacting OPI, we value your loyalty to the brand! We do not recommend using this under Gel polish. For best results, we recommend using the Gel Base Coat, to keep all items in the Gel line. Should you have further questions, feel free to reach out to our team of licensed professionals at 800-347-4424, and they would be happy to further assist you!

Professional, great quality, stays on

I’m on day 8 and only now began sort of chipping at the edges, but it’s because I didn’t create a proper seal.I put on this base coat last Monday. Then the following Wednesday I layered on a French tip of Revlon Ultra HD Snap in white + Walmart’s cheap “ICE” Polish in a milky sheer pink + Sally Hansen Top Coat Double Duty. That turned out okay. Then the following Friday I layered this on again and with Essie’s Gel Couture top coat. Today is Friday, day 8, I do lots of dishes and is still looking fairly decent. My nails are starting to grow out neatly from under the nail beds. I highly highly recommend.I think the game changer is the combo of OPI base bottle + Essie’s Gel Couture top coat.Feels like I had them professionally done.

Helps

It does seem to help prevent some polish from making my nails brittle. It’s also nice on its own.

O P I Natural Nail Strenghtener is great.

I really love this polish. It stays on longer than most and I can tell it strengthens my nails. My thumb nail tends to peel easily but since I got this polish it's doing better. I'm not big on colors so the clear is great for me. It shipped quickly too.

great nail strengthener

my nails were flimsy and breaking from overuse of gel polish but within a few weeks they’re so much stronger from this nail strengthener. 5/5 recommend
