It's the best start-to-finish I've ever used, but it is very expensive. After a while, the formula started to take on the nail polish colours I'd been using. I don't know if I can clean the...

I bought this when I first started doing my own manis and pedis. I bought this because of the convenience factor of having a top coat and base coat in once instead of buying two seperate products....

<font color=darkorchid>This is my first OPI base/top coat, and although I have only been using it for less than a month, I have noticed a marked improvement in the quality/health of my nails. This...

I love OPI, but this product is terrible. It's so bad that all I did was sleep and my manicure was chipped. *sighs* Sorry OPI, this is not a winner. I am going to stick with CND Super Shiny.

Extends wear, has a nice glossy finish, protects nails - and I love the convenience of having a 2-in-1 product. For me the addition of a nail strengthener is just a lovely bonus cherry on the cake!...

An excellent product! A base coat, top coat and nail hardener all in one, how great is that! I was out at my local David Jones department store indulging in my new love for OPI polishes when the SA...

While I can't say I really love this as a topcoat, I do really like it as a basecoat. I've never had any polish, no matter how dark, stain my nails when I use Start to Finish as a basecoat. It...

I used this under and over two coats of OPI polish. The polish was already coming off the tips of my nails the next day. It didn't work for me. The only good thing I can say about it is that...

This really helps to make your regular polish last longer. It is very easy to apply and the quick-drying formula helps to prevent smudges. Its not really a shiny topcoat but will still do. I don't...

This is really not bad. Was using sally's hansen top and base coat but I like OPI's bottle and brush better. Goes on really smooth. I have no complaints. Could be shinier as a top coat though but...

I like this stuff. I find that using it as a base and top coat for cheaper nail polishes makes them last longer.

This is the only product that I have found that strengthens AND holds nail polish on natural nails. I brush a coat on, polish and then another coat. It lasts longer than anything I've ever tried!...

I generally get my nails done every 7-10 days. I cannot remember the last time my manicure outlasted my next appointment. This stuff is awesome. Makes my nails very strong, chip resistant, and...

Great all in one for nails. Takes the place of a base coat, top coat and nail strenghener. Keep my nails from staining when I wear dark polish. Edit 9/11/11: Editing my review as I've...

OPI's Start to Finish is a good choice for a multi-tasking nail treatment product. It acts as both a base coat and a top coat - though is no HG for either. The positive: It is slightly better...

Use this all the time to touch up my pedi/manicures. Couldn't ask for a better base/topcoat.

I love this stuff! It is the perfect base and top coat in one. I use this all the time! It makes polishes chip-resistant, super shiny and long-lasting. Usually lasts about a week or two when used...

This is a wonderful base/top coat. I usually use the top coat as a base coat (i'm sure i'm not the only one) but found it was too thick and sometimes my sheer polishes would chip because of all the...
