    This is an awesome base coat! It does everything a base coat is suppose to do... it prevents your nails from staining, it helps the nail polish adhere to your nails & on top of that it strengthens...

    The only reason this doesn't have five lipsticks is because it absolutely SUCKS as a base coat. It's too thick, and makes any color or brand on top of the base coat perfectly useless; it peels and...

    Wayyy too thick for a base and top coat. It will not dry. I wake up with my nails "smushed" and "smudged" because even after half a dat they do not dry. Ugh. Way way way too thick. Trust me on this...

    I LOVED this product. It dried so fast, left my nails really strong and it didn't chip. But it peeled quite easily, but I was okay with that. Then I finished half of the bottle and then it became...

    This product ended my search for the ultimate base and top coat! I had used so many in the past and probably Orly's Won't Chip for the longest. I eventually became so frustrated with how thick,...

    This was just ok for me. As a base coat it's fine, but it kind of takes a long time to dry as a top coat. I like the shiny finish it leaves (assuming you don't mess up your nails while waiting for...

    not terribly impressed with this. i don't have the drying troubles that others seem to; it does dry slower than other brands and formulae, but my manicures are completely hardened within an hour or...

    I like the brush, find this product easy to apply and do like the shiny finish but that is where the positives end. This is the first top coat I have tried and am really unimpressed. It takes...

    I purchased this on a bit of a whim and I've regretted it ever since. Pros: Good thick formula. Good brush. Cons: It made my nails turn yellow. Yep I kid you not. I'd used it with a...

    This is a horrible base/top coat. I was so excited to find a double duty polish, but this is such a let down. It takes forever to dry! I use fast drying polish and let them sit in cold water for a...

    It's a mediocre top coat at best, but a fairly good base coat. It does take FOREVER to dry... I was going to rate this a 3 because of that, but the brush is so wonderful (it's flat, and wide, and...

    As a top coat it's really bad, nothing like glorious Seche vite. As a base coat it's ok. But I prefer SH Nailgroath miracle for that purpose. Double duty is really long drying and I hate it for...

    This takes forever to dry! After 5 hours of letting my nails dry I went to bed and woke up the next morning with sheet marks. It also pulls on and smudges my nail color! I wouldn't buy this...

    With my clumsiness and indelicacy, even if the polish streaked, I find that it still dries into a smooth layer, so that's pretty good for me. Despite my nails being short, the polish tends to chip...

    As a 2-in-1, this DEFINITELY did its job! I was doubtful about it at first, because in all honesty some SH products suck, but I was delightfully surprised! The brush is getting closer to OPI and...
