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 stopped getting manicures because my nails were getting thin and dried out. This nail polish is a game changer! It goes on easily, dries quickly, and doesn’t chip. I only take it off after 2 weeks because my nails have grown. I have bought several lovely colors. No more $40 manicures for me!

My favorite color. It’s a deep vampy black-red. Perfect consistency. Stays on for days with Orly Bonder Basecoat and Orly Sec n Dry Top Coat.

I love Orly breathable it actually helps my weak nails. Good Karma is a nice color but not the black I thought I was ordering. It’s a deep blue. I wish Amazon included the color description Orly has on their website to help decipher the colors.

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.

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've been wearing the Kiss Me I'm Kind shade for about a year, and it has become one of my favorite everyday nail polishes. The color is beautiful, soft, and very natural-looking, making it perfect for both casual wear and more polished occasions. One coat gives my nails a sheer, healthy-looking finish with a semi-transparent effect. Two coats provide fuller coverage while still looking elegant and natural—not thick or overly opaque. The formula has an excellent consistency. It's smooth, easy to control, and doesn't flood my cuticles, making application quick and beginner-friendly. It also dries fairly fast, which is a big plus when I'm short on time. On my nails, the polish typically lasts around five days before showing noticeable wear. Of course, longevity depends on how many household chores I'm doing, but touch-ups are very easy because the color blends seamlessly. I highly recommend applying a good top coat if you want to extend the wear even further. Another reason I keep reaching for this polish is that it's much gentler on my nails than gel manicures. My natural nails stay healthy, and I don't have to deal with the damage or lengthy removal process that often comes with gel polish. If you're looking for a classy, natural-looking pink that's easy to apply and maintain, this shade is definitely worth trying.

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.

Best nail polish I've ever used. No base coat or top coat required. Lasts for weeks on toes and no staining of the nail when you take it off. So easy to apply with the wide brush. I bought it because it has far fewer chemicals than most nail polishes, so the high performance was a massive bonus. Great colour too. Thank you

Expected a bit different colour
