Eh. This stuff takes forever to dry and goes on really thick and gloppy. I bought it from a drug store on a whim and paid too much for it too. Makes for an okay base coat as long as you let it dry for a long time. Otherwise it's sticky and makes your color splotchy.

I love this nail polish. It goes on soo smooth and makes my color pop so it looks shiny and fresh. If you seal the tips of your nails with this, it prevents chipping very well, and my manicures last for at least a week.

I paid around $5 for this at Walgreen, but I'm aware I probably could have gotten it for around $3 at Walmart. I overpaid, but I won't make that mistake again :P

The bottle can be a little awkward to hold on your hand, but if you're giving yourself a pedicure or manicure and your hold the bottle between your knees it's perfect since the sides are flat, as opposed to round bottles.

All around, I love this nail polish. I would tell all my friends and my mother to get it if they love having shiny professional looking nails.

AMAZING TOP COAT! This is an awesome top coat for putting on top of other nail polishes to make them last longer and prevent chipping. I love using this alone, just because I'm not a big fan of bright colored nail polishes, but it's great either way! Love it, and you really can't beat the price of it. Will definitely be repurchasing!

I really like this top coat. It's not too thick that it makes my nail polish smudge. It gives my nails a nice shine and does a good job keeping my polish from chipping. I would buy this top coat again.

Sally Hansen Super Shine Top Coat is one of the best drugstore-brand topcoats that I have come across in a long time. The consistency is a little on the thin side but not so bad that it's hard to work with. I'm not a big fan of the brush because it seems to be a little stiffer than most so if you have a heavy hand it may tend to wipe off the polish. I just try to polish a little more gently with this one. Wear time is EXCELLENT at five to six days with absolutely no dulling. I've stocked up on this one and would definitely buy more if I ever ran out.

Really not loving this as a top coat. Mediocre shine and polish chipped within the day. I am intrigued by the poster who liked it as a base coat, I may give this a try. Otherwise this is heading straight for the swap pile. ETA-seems to suck as a base coat as well. I'm done with this loser.

Yes this gives a wet, glossy look. However, when using it alone, it chips in a day. I only wear clear nail polish and this one is a bust.

This is a good solid top coat. Dries relatively quickly and leaves a nice shine. It's cheaper than my usual Mega Shine but doesn't do as thorough a job on drying wet polish.

One of the best drugstore topcoats IMO. Leaves a durable, shiny wet look without cracking or shrinking or bubbling or otherwise affecting the nail polish below. I've been through at least a couple of bottles of this and will continue to re-purchase.

I am loving this top coat. I got it yesterday at Target for $2.99 (very cheap) and used it last night and my nails are shiny. The bottle has a lot of product and the brush applicator is slim which is perfect for me.

I definitely recommend this product.

I love this product! Also love the clear, slim brush that comes with it. It leaves a shiny coat that lasts even for 3 weeks! Since I have sweaty feet & live in a hot/humid climate, I always wear open-toed sandals all the time. My only irk is that it's semi-yellowish in the bottle. Not really neutral clear, like a letter G or more in diamonds. But it doesn't matter coz it's not noticeable when applied anyway.

Sally Hansen Super Shine Top Coat is my HG top coat. I've just discovered Seche Vite but I use the SH under the Seche to counteract the shrinkage that I've heard the Seche can cause. But used alone, this Sally Hansen Super Shine is the best top coat I've used. It doesn't bubble or get dull. Even seven days after a mani, it still looks beautiful. The only downside is that it does get a little gloopy about halfway through the bottle but I added a couple of drops of polish thinner and that solved the problem. I definitely will be buying this again.

I really like this for the ultra shiny wet look it gives. I apply 2 coats of color, 1 of this and 1 of Poshe and its shiny wet looking fast drying perfection.

Fabulous top coat! It is super shine and definetly gives polish that still wet look. Gives nails a professional pedicure/manicure look, and it's less than $3!

This stuff is REALLY shiny and gives a nice "wet" look, but isn't as durable as Poshe or Seche Vite.
