While this isn't the best base/topcoat out there, it is a great basic base and top. It is on the thin side, so dry time is minimal. I have used this with Essie and OPI and I didn't get the...

While this isn't a terrible product, it also isn't the best out there. I still use it because it is in my polish collection, but it isn't on my list of "must haves." Nor will I feel the need to...

Fantastic. Used it when I was in high school because it was easy, relatively cheap and at my local drugstore. Thought I should graduate to a he topcoat with out the door and zoya (awful) top and...

This is the best base and topcoat I have ever used, even compared to other base and top coats by Orly. This is the only one that dries quickly and lets my nail polish apply smoothly and without...

I really like that this is a both a top and base coat, as I am usually much too lazy to use two different products. It does make my manicures last longer, and keeps them shiny. The formula is thin...

This is a great base coat. Good packaging. It works great with Orly and OPI nailpolishes. However, with other polishes, I get the annoying bubbling effect. I do not recommend this as a top...

I wasn't extremely impressed with this. Even though I used plenty of it on my toes, it still didn't prevent staining. And it didn't help polish stay on any longer on my fingernails either. It takes...

Nail items usually make my nails flake and peel like crazy. This stuff actually stays on, goes a loooong time before chipping. I love the rubbery grip on the brush handle, and the bottle does not...

I really wasn't all that impressed with this, as a basecoat it's no good as the polish still was able to stain my nails and I applied the BC liberally. As a topcoat it's OK I guess, as others have...

I've repurchased this once, but don't think I will again. I like my topcoats to be shiny, and this one is pretty average. I don't usually use it as a basecoat. The good thing about this, as stated...

This is an average product. I'm not sure if this adds any shine but I apply 2 coats of this on top of my manicure and my nails remain perfect for a week, which is what any other top coat does for me.

Fantastic! It is so convenient to have a base/topcoat in one. This gives off a beautiful glossy shine and as a base, it really makes the nailcolor adhere. I use this with 'Rose-Colored Glasses' for...

My HG topcoat. Makes nails nice and shiny, like pretty much any other clear polish, but it really does extend a manicure's/pedicure's lifespan when reapplied every so often.

This is a really cool product. I have found a secret: you know when you accidently smudge half-dried polish? Well, just dab on a little of Top2Bottom and it gets rid of the smudge. (Orly makes a...

I love the concept of the 2-in-1. You don't have to worry about an extra bottle. Plus, it works great and dries quickly!

I don't use this for a basecoat, as I think that Orly Nail bonder is the way to go for long-lasting manicures. I do apply this as a top coat though. It is shiny and thin enough so that I can add...
