Karma Naturals Lavender Rx Nail Bed Healer, Nontoxic Vegan & Cruelty-Free Nail Treatment for Damaged, Weak, or Brittle Nails

I went cruelty free a couple years ago and although this was easy for most makeup and beauty items, the struggle has been real for nail polish. I was a die hard OPI fan and have been having a terrible time finding quality nail polish since giving them up. I have literally had polishes that were "recommended" by people's reviews on Amazon that just peeled off the first day you used them. Terrible. This is a LIFE SAVER nail polish. I have the weakest worse nails. They literally rip off every time i try to grow them out! It's also worse because I'm an ex nail biter so I have a tendency to mess with my fingers with my teeth a lot. Usually, I use some nail polish to keep them "strong" enough to not ruin them with my mouth. But all the cruelty free polishes were so weak. This polish, the reviews I read were all true. It took a couple weeks. The first coat you can tell is at least a decent polish. Seems pretty normal compared to regular polishes. Then the longer i used it, a few weeks in, I noticed that my nails were rock hard (for me at least, they're usually all bendy). I kept them "short" by filing them for a few weeks trying to let them really build up some strength before letting them start to go long. Now, they're really nice nails. They are sturdy, hard to the tap on the table, and the shade of this polish is pretty much clear with a hint of baby pink to it so it actually makes your nails look better, less yellow tinted. I cannot say enough great things about this polish. It has allowed me to have strong long nails for the first time in my life without having to get gel or powder nails at the salon. I highly recommend trying this polish, it is worth the expensive price.

This product is always reliable. To protect your nails and looks pretty.

I have been battling splitting and peeling nails for several months and have tried several products billed as "nail strengthener" with little success. My first mistake was to use acetone nail polish remover to strip off one of these products that suggested using one coat per day for a week, then stripping and starting over with clean nails. I believe the acetone really wrecked my already weak nails. I tried Karma Naturals soy-based polish remover and my nails started improving immediately. So I tried their deep nutrition nail strengthening polish and I knew I was on the right track. Unlike other products (like OPI Nail Envy), this polish stays on and looks natural. It has a very slight peachy pink tint that looks neutral on my fingers. It hides the split and peeling areas so they are pretty much undetectable. I'm also using rubber gloves when I do dishes or clean, which is helping as well. I will update after I have used Karma Naturals for a month and see how I've progressed. For now, two thumbs up! [Update 3 weeks later: I'm using either the "Deep Nutrition" polish or the 2-in-1 base and top coat. I still have peeling on two nails, but I'm cutting them short and using a gentle emery board/nail buffer. I only use Karma Naturals remover--you need to wash hands after using because it is very oily--and my nails have improved dramatically. I believe all the peeling and splitting will be gone soon. All ripples have disappeared already. I love this stuff!]

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.

Labelled as organic & non toxic but when open it emitted a very strong chemical smell. Not sure about the effectiveness.

I support this brand as it's cruelty free and not as toxic as some cheap brand that contains alot of chemicals and toxic stuff. I have been using this brand alot. Nice colours they have esp the nude ones

Helps to keep the nail polish on for a long time!

Low odour, very fast drying.

I was looking for a nutritional nail polish here in Canada, after BKIND discontinued theirs, and came across this brand via Google Ads. This. Thing. Works!! It has a similar ingredient composition as the BKIND I used - especially the Apricot, Castor & Avocado Oils - but moreover, it applies semi-clear whilst leaving leaves a nice shine to my nails. I have been wearing my nails "natural" (no color), and this polish acts as a great base coat, before I apply my BKIND Squalene Nail Strengthener. Overall, I highly recommend this product. Customer Service was also great, as I was concerned that I received the wrong product, given the box had a different list of ingredients. They confirmed I had the right polish. 10/10 = Thanks Karma Naturals!
