Doesn't strengthen my nails or lengthen wear as a base coat. A a top coat it takes ages to dry, isn't that shiny, doesn't resist scratching. Waste of time. I went back to my Essie Million Nails as...

As a base coat, it definitely does its job. After five days, it isn't chipping but it's not looking perfect either. As a top coat, i'm not sure. I've been using opis top coat for as long as i...

This product literally saved my nails. My nail quality has been kind of varying during the years, but for the past year or so before I purchased this product they had been downright awful. They...

I've been on a recent nail kick and I've heard tons about the brand Essie. This was a bit on the expensive side for a nail polish, I think I paid over $10 for it. I felt that it held my polish on...

I meant to grab the other top coat Essie has called Good To Go, but accidentally grabbed this box. I thought no big deal as I love my base coat by Essie. Normally I use Sally Hansen Insta Dri...

As a base coat, this product works great. It protects my nails from staining and seems to help nails grow as well. As for a top coat, I didn't like it for some reasons and I did like it for other...

I used to use this a lot, but stopped when I starting using other brands of nail and glittery polishes. It works really great with other essie polishes as a base coat and top coat. I think my...

Amazing Product. I wasn't really expecting much from a product that claims to be both a base, top and strengthener but this is amazing. I did my nails 5 days ago and not a single chip or tip wear....

This is my Holy Grail nail product! I use it as a base coat after I have buffed my nails. Then I add two coats of nail color and then two coats of 3 way glaze on top. I can get my polish to last...

This is a really fantastic top coat. Usually, I paint my nails and the polish chips the very next day (and no amount of top coat helps). However, I painted my nails on Sunday and applied two coats...

This was great, until I got to about half-way on the bottle. Then, somehow, it started to get extremely gloopy all the time. I would thin it, and it would work fine, but then next time I went to...

This is my HG base+top coat. You can still go about your day and do the dishes, and it really will not chip. Granted, you must not scrub at your nails or anything like that. I just feel that as a...

This glaze is a must have for me - I use it as a base and top coat all of the time. I had never had polish stay on my nails for over a week with no chipping before I started using it. It takes a...

This does a good job at making your nails really shiny, which I like. However, I notice that when I use it, my nail polish doesn't last as long as if I had never used a topcoat,so it is time to try...
