A decent top coat. It does add a lot of shine, but only for two to three days; and protects against chips moderately well, about five days chip-free (and at day three I applied another layer of...

I really hate this stuff. It does give a nice shine (hence the 2 lippies), but it also pools in the "gutters" on the edges of my nails and makes a weird white mess there . . . and then lifts at...

I have tried using this several ways before I just had to give up on it. I have used it on bare nails, over polish, and just over a base. No matter what I did, it peeled off within one day! It...

I have been using this product for years and will continue to do so. The big attraction for me is the quick drying. This, to me, is comparable to Poshe Top Coat only much, much less expensive. I...

This is my HG topcoat! I've been using it for years and love the protection and shine it provides now just as much as I did when I first tried it (a rarity among my cosmetics, I assure you). I...

This is a great top coat. I have had it on my toes for over a month and my pedicure still looks great - and I have even been to the beach! It also dries really fast which is great. It...

This is very good. I will try another one from Sally Hansen just for a change, but I would definitely come back to this. Great shine.

By far the best top coat I've ever used. I've been buying and using this over and over for at least 5 years, and I will never be without it. It dries super fast, even drying the coats of nail...

I was very disappointed with this product, it made my nail polish peel after 3 days, the whole lot would peel off I one big chunk. I've given it 2 lippes as it did make my nails very shiny.

I don't know if this is the one that can be used as a base AND top coat or just the mega shine top-coat; I used BOTH and my opinion is the same: WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used...

My HG topcoat, the ONLY one that I use. For the record, I have long natural nails with an acrylic overlay and have *never* had an issue with this product. I was a little confused by some of the...

Love this stuff. My fingernails are usually chipped the next day, but this stuff extended the life to about 3-4 days before chips appeared. Probably would last longer if reapplied the topcoat...

Good product, but to me, this shine top coat is not better than some of the cheaper brands. This does make my nails shine though, which I love and probably would repurchase if it is ever on sale.

This is worth getting if you're looking to have shiny nails for about 24 hours and enjoy watching clear nail polish peel from your nails & make it look like your fingers are shedding. I'm glad...

I've been using Mega Shine for years. I had a bottle for over 2 years and it was still good up until the very end when it got too thick. I finally bought a new bottle, which should last me...

Great top coat. Goes right over wet nails and dries quickly. Shine lasts and lasts. Very cheap and easy to find. Better than salon brands like Seche Vite and OPI, which get stringy!! Love this stuff.

What in the world is in this topcoat that makes it peel within a day or two? I thought I was the only one until I read the reviews. It's very frustrating to have a nice manicure and have it peel...
