Description
Conscious nail care from the bottom up, leaving your nails healthier than when you started. That's the philosophy that went into developing The Foundation.
The Foundation is a strengthening base coat that can be worn under color or on its own. Under color, this base prolongs nail color (it prevents chipping!) and helps to increase nail strength. It's fortified with Horsetail Leaf Extract and Vitamin E to help improve nail strength, repair soft or peeling nails and prevent cracking. Worn alone, The Foundation acts as a ridge filler and its slight pink tint gives a pretty, natural look.
8-free, vegan and cruelty free, The Foundation does not contain: dibutyl phthalate (dbp), toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor, ethyl tosylamide, xylene, or triphenyl phosphate (tphp).
For best results, make sure your nails are clean and dry before application. When The Foundation is used alone, apply 1-2 times a week to strengthen nails, or use under color for stronger, healthier nails.

Q: Is tenoverten The Foundation nail strengthener a 'breathable' nail product; is it considered water-porous?
submitted by rlp1029 - 2 years ago
A: Hello, Thank you for your question! We do not market Tenoverten nail polish or nail treatment products as being breathable or water-porous. We hope this is helpful!

Q: Does this polish have a strong scent?
submitted by hollygirl123 - 3 years ago
A: Hello, Thank you for your question! While Tenoverten nail polish is non-toxic and does not have an overly strong scent, it does smell like nail polish. One of our ingredients is ethyl acetate, which is a solvent that gives nail polish its typical smell, because it evaporates very quickly (helping to dry the polish) and reaches your nose first. We hope this helps! Best, The Tenoverten Team

I LOVE this product! It makes my nails stronger and is a great bass coat. HOWEVER when the bottle is running low I am having an issue with consistency of the polish. It gets very thick and stringy and doesn't go on as smooth. Anyone else having the same issue?

Really love this base to protect my nails under press ons. It stays on forever. Only con is the smell. It’s not extremely strong but can be off putting if you are sensitive to smells.
Worth it!

The Foundation is one of my favorite products! It's amazing as a strengthening base coat, but also on its own when your nails need a little breather! It goes on so smooth, dries fast, and lasts long. Big BIG fan

After only two uses there has been a significant change to my nails and they are sooo much stronger. My pointer finger nail was losing a layer due to a cheap nail polish I used before and this stuff literally rehabilitated it and it’s stronger than ever. I can barely even bend my nails. I’ll continue to be using this as a base coat twice a week. I also use this on the underside of my nails and I’ve noticed that helps a lot too. Definitely worth the price!

I do my nails *every* week and it takes at least two months for my nails to yellow even slightly since using this as a base. This keeps my nails healthy and protected from tougher nail polish for a lot longer. My nails have never been healthier. For reference, I have average-healthy nails. I don’t have extremely sensitive nails so I can’t speak on that.
Unfortunately, same problem

What I wouldn't give for a clear polish that doesn't damage my nails! I experienced what several others reported. Within a week of using this product, my already-thin nails were peeling worse than I've ever seen before - and that's after a year of using various polishes without a base coat. This base coat really did some damage. If anyone who has had this problem has found a base coat/clear polish that doesn't cause long-term damage, please share!!
My nails are peeling worse than ever

Dizzy - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I have very dry, brittle and peeling nails and have tried dozens of products. After lots of research I thought this one would help because of the overwhelming positive reviews and lack of harmful chemicals. At first, it seemed to be somewhat "moisturizing" - but after two days, my nails were peeling worse than ever! Instead of just the tips peeling, huge sheets of the polish came off taking a layer of my nail plate with it. I drove out of my way to a distant Target and paid $20 for this stuff! Thankfully, I was able to get a full refund - now, time to try to repair my nails from the damage it has done.
changed my nails!

Bought this and found it has “talc”. How is this clean and non-toxic ? False advertisement. Will be returning.

This product functions well, but has a pretty strong odor. I was expecting a “nontoxic” product to smell less.... toxic.

Love this product! My nail polish color goes on perfectly and lasts longer before starting to wear off. Best I’ve tried.

I would definitely not recommend this product. I used the polish by itself, and by the next day it was chipping and peeling away. It didn’t make my nails any stronger either. Such a waste of money

I have tried it all- including collagen in my smoothies! This has been the best solution for my thin, papery nails. They are even growing longer from using this product.
Works even for my brittle nails :)

Haven't been to the nail salon in 2.5 weeks for my regular manicures, so purchased this to keep my nails from deteriorating. I've used it only twice and it's already started to work!
