My HG topcoat! Previously, I used a clear top coat from Revlon and Seche Vita but a friend of mine gave this to me over 5 years ago and I've been using the same bottle ever since. This keeps my...

I feel bad writing a negative review since this was a Christmas gift, but I am not a fan of this top coat. I have done my nails four times using this top coat and I have so many different problems....

I got a mini bottle of this top coat from Sephora. I have used it for over twenty times and it is still going strong. I love it that the brush is flat and the packaging is sleek. This is probably...

This is a pricey product ($18 for a tiny .27 oz bottle - smaller than how most brands package their polishes). I thought if it actually worked how it claimed to it would be worth it though. At...

I have used this topcoat and one from European Secrets as they are similar gel like top coats. I find this topcoat works very well. However make sure your color polish is dry before...

This is my go-to topcoat. In fact, I refuse to get a mani or pedi without it. This dries in 5 minutes flat - so I can confidently put my feet back into shoes or rummage through my purse knowing...

I think I am going to return this. After One Use- PROS: It hardens completely in the recommended 5 minutes. The hardness is amazing- like nothing I've felt. Almost like a Hard Gel nail...

This is the BEST top coat ever!! I love it with cream finish polishes the best because it seriously looks like I had gel nails done. It dries really fast and I don't have to worry about my nail...

Like others, I wanted to love this, but it totally disappoints. This is great if you're in a time crunch and you need your nails to be dry in 5 minutes and look good for one day. After...

Doesn't live up to promises or hype. It looks great at first but hardly lasts a week let alone a couple of days. I have used it as a topcoat for all my Julep polishes (10 different...

I've been super impressed with this top coat. Granted, I only paid like $6 for it and apparently list is $18. My nails haven't chipped at all, and I'm constantly adding keys to key rings, opening...

I really wanted to love this stuff. And I did when I first received it. The shine was the best shine I've ever seen from any top coat and it dried amazingly hard and fast, especially under a 60...

This definitely gives your nails the look & feel of a gel mani. Compared to a gel manicure, it's very cost effective; compared to a plain old topcoat it's expensive. However, it definitely doesn't...

I really like this. I received one in a maven box. The next month, I was able to add one on for $5. With this, I can have my mani last 6+ days w/out chipping. I use my usual routine. 1 coat...
