I’ve been a huge devotee of the Essie Gel Setter topcoat for years, and while I still love its performance, I do not love that it gets gloopy to the point of uselessness less than halfway through...

Like many other reviewers, I just got this to use as a topcoat on my collection of assorted brand polishes, not with the Vinylux polishes as recommended. However, the issue that I have with it is...

CND nailpolishes are one of the few kinds that actually last on my nails for a week or so. This is compared to the Formula X and nailsense gel polishes. I've found using this as a top coat adds to...

I've discovered the holy grail of long lasting nails (I thought my only resort to long lasting manicures was the get gel ones done at the salon, which RUINS my already thin nails). With this top...

I like this top a lot. Almost no bubbling and it's not too extremely shiny which I prefer. I change my nail polish often but I wore this for about 5 days with no chips or scratches.

I don't understand why the reviews are bad. I haven't written a review in so long but after using this top coat for the past few months I needed to write one. I do my nails on Saturday morning...

To be honest, I purchased this top coat to use over all of my polishes; I haven't used the Vinylux polishes, so that may make a difference in wear. It was just "okay." I didn't find it to be...

I have a legitimate issue or two with the Vinylux top coat - and yes, I use the system as recommended by CND - and often can get 5 to 11 (yes 11) days of wear with minimal edgewear and no chipping...

I chose this when i went in for a pedicure a few weeks ago, and while the nail polish hasn't chipped substantially, this scuffs like nothing else. There are so many white streaks on my toe nails...

First let me be very clear: I do NOT use this as recommended. I do not use it with the Vinylux polishes. But, with regular polish, it gives me the most perfect, flawless, long-lasting home manicure...

I was introduced to this product when I got a professional manicure done at a local salon. When the manicurist finished up, I remarked on how shiny my nails looked, and she showed me what she uses...

I pride myself on doing my own nails, but am extremely anal about it. I don't want trashy looking nails and I do everything in my power to make my nails look salon quality. Vinylux is like...

I picked this up at cosmoprof for about 5$. Both the color and the top coat are great. (not 7 days great) But pretty hard and shine lasted about 4 days, then I just retouch the tips with color,...

I used this top coat over my usual base and polish. It dries quickly and provides a very good shine. It made my thin and weak nails feel harder. This polish is thick, so I can use only one...
