Karma Naturals Nail Growth & Strengthener – Base Coat, Nail Hardener & Repair Treatment for Weak or Damaged Nails (0.47 FL oz)

Photos no retouch: the 2 in 1 base and top coat combined with one of Karma organic Natural Shade.Let me be honest, my nails are weak, thin, and frankly, ugly. I can't grow them long without gel, but I don't want to use gel anymore because it really damages them. Nails are definitely not my strongest feature, so finding products that actually help is crucial, and I actually start loving how they naturally look thanks to this product.I absolutely LOVE this product and keep repurchasing it religiously! Having tried several Karma Organic polishes, I can confidently say their 2-in-1 base and top coat is what makes their entire system work so beautifully.What makes this amazing:Dries incredibly fast (seriously, this stuff sets in minutes!)Shines long (that glossy finish lasts for days without dulling!)Helps nails look healthy (vitamins A, E, and C , great stuff)Dual function genius (YES, YES, one bottle does the work of two products)The clean formula factor:It is free from harmful chemicals like toluene and formaldehyde. While "Karma Organic" might be a slightly misleading name (probably not technically organic), the clean formula is ok.The results:My nails genuinely look healthier since using this consistently. It provides that perfect smooth base for polish application, then seals everything in with a salon-quality glossy finish. Even when I wear it alone, my nails have that healthy, well-maintained appearance.The Reality Check:Yes, like their polishes, the fast-drying formula can cause the product to thicken in the bottle over time. But honestly? I go through it fast enough that it's rarely an issue, and the performance is so good that I don't mind repurchasing.My Take:This 2-in-1 has simplified my nail routine while improving my nail health. It's become an essential part of my nail routine, and I can't imagine doing my nails without it.Highly recommend - especially if you're already a fan of their polishes!

Seems to last without chipping or peeling

Love this - goes on smoothly and is free of the usual polish toxins! I like all of the colors that I've bought as well!!

I just switched over from Nail Envy and I am loving this!! It has a very faint hue that looks a little like a French manicure (but a lot more sheer -- which is good from the perspective that chipping isn't as noticeable. It's just a tiny bit less shiny than other polishes, but it still looks nice. I am always checking out my nails now.I've never gotten any home nail product to last more than 1-2 days without chipping (maybe it's my nails). This usually lasts about 4-5 days, and then chips on some nails but it's pretty thin so it's not easy to notice. So, I redo the polish every 5-7 days. It goes on quite thin, so I always use two coats. If I used just one as instructed, I would probably get little to no chipping, but it wouldn't look or feel as nice.**Edit: Literally the day after I posted this review (so, like 2-3 weeks into using it) I started getting an insane amount of peeling and breakage on my nails, for the first time in years. I removed it and went for just one coat, but that didn't help. So then after another week I wrote to the company asking for advice and they clarified I should do one coat, then 3-4 days later remove it, let the nails breathe for a few hours, then apply one coat again. I tried that immediately, but by the next morning I had new chipping, peeling, and breaking again. I guess it's back to Nail Envy since I gotta go with what works. I like the color of this better but learned that Nail Envy comes in different colors so that's what I'm gonna try next. Wish it were organic but have seen similar problems posted for other organic products too, so hesitant to try another one. My nails had been in great shape for the past several years while using Nail Envy, and I'm pretty shocked by how bad they got, and how quickly, with this product.

My Karma base coat nail polish was damaged. Karma won’t refund but Amazon makes it right and refunds!

I love this product! I had gel nails on for a short time but my nails are very sensitive and the nails got badly damaged and peeled terribly (note I always had the gel polish professionally removed and didn’t try doing it myself!) I noticed a difference in just a couple of days with this elixir. Plus it looks good on the nail because it does brush on a pearly white. I also use it with their Deep Nutrition and Nail Bed healer polishes. I use the nail bed healer first, then 2 coats of the deep nutrition polish and then finish with a coat of the elixir. I don’t know if there needs to be an order because I couldn’t find any directions but this seems to work for me!

The description says it’s for deep powder, but I ran out of top coat for my gel polish and this worked just fine.

DisappointedMight work well for others, but for me it did dry fast but peels very easily. Full nail peeled off on several fingers. While sleeping several fingers had lifting issues. When I woke up I found the tips & sides of many fingers had lifted. Took nothing to pull the rest off in a single sheet.Washing my hands took off 2 more. No I didn't have cuticle oil or lotion on my hands / fingers. Yes I've had previous adhesion / peeling issues with other brands. This was ridiculous. I figured it might not last as long but c'mon, <24 hrs is really not a money, time or nail savings.
