O2M Breathable Nail Enamel

I only wear nail polish on my toes, and only during the summer. I consider OPI nail polishes to be the gold standard and love the range of colors and textures on offer. However, at the end of last summer, I removed my nail polish to discover white opaque patches on the nails of both of my big toes. I searched online to figure out what could be the problem, and I learned that this was just an indication of my nails becoming dehydrated. I was able to treat my bare nails with petroleum jelly and reverse the white spots, but I wondered what to do the following summer, because I consider painted nails to be part of looking well-groomed during sandal season.

I learned about Inglot O2M breathable nail polish over the winter, and I was able to go to a boutique on a trip to Montreal to see the colors in person. I chose 612 as my first color (as you can see, O2M nail polishes are quite a bit more costly than other brands). 612 is a nice solid creamy deep fuchsia, not as bright pink as it might appear on your monitor, but definitely a cheerful summer color. Beautylish offers the full range of colors, and they all are solid colors, no metallic or shimmer or other special effects. If you want those effects, you'll still have to go to OPI or other brands (and, of course, those are not breathable nail polishes). I've decided that I will alternate my OPI nail polishes with O2M so that my nails can breathe more, and I'll see at the end of the summer if that keeps my nails in good shape.

Besides the price and the more limited palette, another limitation of the O2M nail polish is that it does not seem as durable as OPI nail polish. OPI nail polish can look as good as new for almost three weeks, even without a top coat. However, O2M started getting scratched up after about a week with no top coat. So I ordered the Inglot O2M top coat from Beautylish and am currently testing that out. I suspect that the breathability of O2M probably does make it less durable, and so even if the O2M top coat isn't harder (but it includes diamond dust, so it should be), it is at least one more layer that has to come off before the color can get damaged.

Despite these tradeoffs described above, I'm happy that Inglot O2M nail polish exists because it appears that my toenails need to breathe. I'm glad that I can keep them aired out while still being presentable when I wear sandals during the summer.

I love those breathable nail polishes, however I found they have one down side only: the colors change after a couple of hours. once you put on a particular shade it tends to darken after a few hours. what I personally do is I would try on the color at the store, go home and see how it turns out by the next day.

Wow l awesome. No insecurities wow yay halal l awesome. No insecurities wow yay halal l awesome. No insecurities wow yay halal l awesome. No insecurities wow yay halal l awesome. No insecurities wow yay halal

I just wanna know that this product keeps breathable up to how many layers or coats,I'm using it and I wonder that there is shades needs 3 layers and what about using top coat or base one?

This is an in-fashion colour, special for summer vacation! I love this colour and Inglot makes it more amazing! it lasts so long and lets your nails to breathe! love it!

I like this color, it is all about fashion. great wear that goes great with any jeans shade. looks great on nails and toes. it is really hard to find this shade of blue in any brand. just the perfect shade not too dark not too light ;) the breathable function make gives me a piece of mind that I am not hurting my nails since water and Oxegine can penetrate through this nail polish, your nails can tell you that. I've been using Inglot breathable nail polish line for a year plus, my nails are healthy and in great condition!!! Thanks Beautylish for providing this great product and for the fast shipping and great CS ;)

659 is really a great soft shade of orange.

Love the vast collection of the colors. Every women's dream I suppose. I gifted this to my wife and she loved it a lot. She has also recommended this products to all her friends.

I stumbled upon INGLOT accidentally online, but im SO glad i did! I wear nailpolish so much more often now. The smell when putting on the nail polish isnt as strong, but the color is just as good! It does chip easier though, but is worth the healthy nails!

Inglot does not disappoint. I love the shades of their polish and the smoothness of the application. This soft gray intensifies as you apply coats, going from an almost pastel to a gunmetal gray. It wears well and I have gotten several compliments on the shade as well as how much longer my nails look. I feel like I am an Inglot woman from the gel eye liner ( I have 7 colors), to the breathable nail enamel. I also purchased the blue which is perfect with denim. Keep it up and I will keep purchasing!
