    Amazing both as a top coat and excellent as a base. Especially for glitter polishes that seem to dull once they dry and leave a rocky bumpy texture. In attempting to rehab my nails from years of...

    This works wonderfully as a BASE COAT. Applies smoothly, dries very fast but not so fast that you can't fix mistakes before the polish gets tacky, and gives a very flawless, glossy finish. My nails...

    I find this fair as a base coat and awful as a topcoat. I bought it because I thought it would be good for travel to carry 1 bottle to redo or refresh a mani but it's not worth it even for that. ...

    this is a pretty good product. i have been using it for years and i have had really great results. i love how they re-designed the brush so it's a little flatter and wider. it dries very quickly...

    The Good: This has really good smoothing qualities. Even if you don't paint it on very evenly, it tends to spread itself and settle in all the right places so that you end up with a really smooth...

    My favorite drugstore nail purchase. I love that it doubles as a base and top coat, saving me a couple extra bucks and some space on my makeup counter. Helps prevent chipping, easily available,...

    Bought this along with Mega Shine top coat. Double Duty works just fine. The only thing I don't like is that it takes some time to dry. As a top coat, I need to reapply every 2 days because the...

    I picked this up on a whim at Target, and I am almost finished with the bottle. I love this as a base coat and as an only coat. :) Not so much as a top coat, though, because it makes the nail...

    I was pretty happy with my first bottle but then gave it away. I then bought OPI top and base coat and was not impressed. I've heard so much about how great their nail polishes are but trust me the...

    This stuff ROCKS as a basecoat. Dries quickly, my manicures (even of my older, chippier polish) last longer, and my nails seem harder during wear and after removal. As a top-coat, may work if you...

    My nails used to be yellow and brittle from applying nail polish without using any base coat. However, they've looked better and healthier ever since I started using DD Base & Top Coat. As a base...

    For me this is a great base coat. When applied as a thin first coat it dries fairly quickly, smooths out the nail, and definitely lengthens the life of your manicure. As a top coat however it's a...

    This is a really good top coat, I get my nails done once every 2 weeks and I apply this usually a week after I've gotten them done.. it's great, I never get chips or cracks. It keeps the colour on...

    I would not waste $6 on two different bottles for base and tops. So I bought this one for a little more than $4. I am not sure if it increased the life of the nail polish I had. But it certainly...

    I've been using this product for years and I have had great success with it. I believe buying a separate base coat and top coat is simply unnecessary. I purchased the newer version of it, and the...

    I appear to be in the minority but I hated it as a base coat. Even after letting it completely dry, my nail polish didn't go on very smoothly. It was streaky and if I ran the brush over the same...
