FAQs
How many applications can I expect from one bottle?
The product information states you can expect over 30 applications from a single bottle, assuming standard manicure application.
Is Orly Ingenue suitable for professional salon use?
Yes, Orly polishes are professional-grade and designed for salon use, offering high pigment and durable wear.
Does this nail polish stain natural nails?
While the pigment is strong, using a base coat before application significantly reduces the risk of staining natural nails.
How long does the polish typically last?
With proper application, including a base and top coat, and normal wear, Orly polish can last 3-5 days without chipping.
Can I use this polish on artificial nails?
Yes, this polish is suitable for application on artificial nails such as acrylics or gels, provided they are properly prepped.
What does 'Ingenue' mean in terms of color?
While 'Ingenue' can be subjective, it typically refers to a naive, innocent, or demure appearance. The specific shade should be viewed on screen or in person for accurate color representation.
Is this product safe for use if I have sensitive skin or allergies?
Orly polishes are generally formulated to be safe, and Ingenue is cruelty-free and vegan. However, if you have specific sensitivities, it's always recommended to perform a patch test or consult with a healthcare professional.
Troubleshooting
Polish is too thick or gloopy
Shake the bottle gently. If still thick, add one drop of nail polish thinner and mix well. Avoid over-thinning.
Streaky application
Ensure each coat is thin and even. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Apply a third thin coat if necessary for full opacity.
Polish chipping quickly
Ensure nails are properly prepped (clean, dry, oil-free). Apply a quality base coat and a sealing top coat, capping the free edge of the nail with each layer.
Bubbles in the finish
Avoid shaking the bottle vigorously; roll it between your hands instead. Apply polish in thin coats and allow sufficient drying time between each.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Ensure nails are clean, dry, and free of oils or old polish. Buffing the nail surface lightly can improve adhesion.
- Base Coat: Apply a thin, even layer of your preferred nail strengthener or base coat. Allow it to dry completely.
- Color Application: Shake the Orly Ingenue bottle gently. Apply one thin coat of polish, followed by a second thin coat once the first is nearly dry. Avoid applying too thickly to prevent bubbling or extended drying times.
- Top Coat: Once the second color coat is dry to the touch, apply a thin layer of a quality top coat to seal the color and add shine.
Compatibility:
- Orly Ingenue is compatible with most standard nail treatments, including nail hardeners, strengtheners, and cuticle oils.
- It is designed to be used with Orly base coats and top coats for optimal performance but is generally compatible with other reputable nail polish brands' top and base coats.
Care:
- Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the polish from thickening or degrading.
- Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.
- To maintain the polish's consistency, avoid adding thinner unless absolutely necessary and only use products specifically designed for nail polish.
