Orly Breathable Nail Polish-Barely There 20908 by Orly

I love this polish. I can't wear regular nail polish because it makes my cuticles peel and gives me a weird suffocating feeling on my nails. It also damages my nails and I get hang nails whenever I wear regular polish. This breathable polish has been a game changer. It applies beautifully, dries quickly, and two coats lasted almost two weeks before I noticed any chipping. During that time I did yard work, washed dishes, and typed all day at work, and it still looked great. The only places it started to peel were spots that had been physically chipped by something. I had never heard of breathable nail polish before and had never seen it in stores, but now I think this formula should be their main product line. It dries faster, lasts longer, and feels much more comfortable to wear than traditional polish. From what I've read, traditional polish completely seals the nail, trapping natural oils and moisture. Breathable polish allows air and moisture to pass through, which may help prevent dry, brittle, or peeling nails. Whatever the reason, my nails and cuticles are much happier with this formula. The only downside is that the colors don't always look like the photos online. Even so, the colors are pretty and I'm just so happy to finally be able to wear nail polish. For the first time in my 50s, I have nice-looking nails, and I absolutely love this product. I bought 6 colors and had to find more on the Orly website (and they have a good deal for first time orders.)

I wanted a polish that is healthier for my nails. I’ve purchased three colors - two are meh, one is great. Barely There: very streaky and is basically white Down to Earth: darker than I anticipated and more gray than earthy Kiss Me I’m Kind: excellent! Gives a hint of color. It must be good - my daughter “borrowed” it so mama had to buy a second bottle.

Love this color

Color isn't the same as online. I mixed some red nail polish in to get a nicer color and I love it. It lasts me 4 or 5 days with no chips but I am a CNC lathe machine operator. My nails are put through a lot.

If you need a quick fix for dull nails this is it. The color is great with just two coats. Looks natural long lasting makes nails shiny. Covers discolored nails brings back to life. Has an odor. Make sure to dry between coats. This color works great with everything.

This polish CANNOT be good for your nails. It is the thickest, most gooey, sticky nail polish I have ever used. "Breathable?" That has to be a joke. I tried really hard just to apply a couple of coats but it's a sticky mess that never dries, and if I pile on 2 more coats (which would be needed to actually make it opaque) I've lost the point of "breathable" polish. It can't be returned either, even though the quality is horrible. If you enjoy flushing money down the toilet, this may be your polish! So disappointed.

This polish was ok, I like the color but had to do multiple coats to reach the actual color depth . They dry nicely and very shiny , but after a couple days the shine fades. I was also surprised to see that it started streaking a day later and coming off doing the simplest tasks. I will say it comes off fairly easily with remover but does leave a slight stain on nails. If ya need just a 1 day/ night polish this is the polish for you. It didn’t do any damage to my nails as it is breathable which is awesome . Definitely worth the cost. 💲

I am healing my nails from years of gel, so I tried this polish for the first time today. Beautiful color, went on great in just two coats. Hoping it lasts at least a week!

Brilliant. Really shines. Stays on for a week. Does not harm my nails like others.

Great quality! Dried nicely and lasts. My brittle nails are healing from years of gel and this is a perfect treatment. My photo is 3 coats. No base or top coat.

Expected a bit different colour

Only need 2 coats to make nails look healthy and shiny, lasts up to a week dries quickly and looks great. Good coverage and excellent value for money.
