    This was my HG top coat and I'm also disappointed to see this has been discontinued. I would buy this if I ever saw this on clearance at discount stores as I have read previous reviewers have. This...

    I think it is a shame Revlon discontinued this product as, though not quick dry, it is a great top coat and may just be my HG topcoat. I actually started using if after it was discontinued, when I...

    I found this in Kmart's clearance bin for 2 dollars so I picked it up. My favorite thing about this top coat is that the formula is thin, which makes application a breeze. Several reviews have said...

    My new HG top coat. This is seriously one of the BEST top coats around. It can be used with ANY polish ad I have used it with everything and it makes the manicure last for a week or more. It...

    Huge honking flashing yay for the Colorstay Gel Shine Topcoat. It has made it WORTH IT to take the time to polish your nails again. I used to do a gentle buffing, OPI Chip Skip or wipe with a paper...

    Rave review for the Colorstay Gel-Shine top coat. In conjunction with it's base coat, these two are amazing at keeping polish on my fingers for at least a week. My previous top coats (Seche Vite,...

    I got the gel shine top coat but I don't know if there is a difference. Overall this is a good topcoat. I use my hands a lot as I work in retail so I have a hard time making polish last. However I...

    This is the top coat that goes with the "gel" base coat. I haven't used this without the base coat but it's awesome when it's paired together. I can go 5 days without chips or tip wear. Very...

    NOT A QUICK DRY TOP COAT!! I got the Gel Shine top coat to try with the Gel Smooth base coat. This is just as great! I use this and then top with a quick dry top coat. Amazing!! Super shiny! Dry...

    This should not be confused with a quick dry top coat. It is not! I use this top coat after I put my last coat of nail polish, but before I put on my quick dry top coat. Doing it this way, seals...

    This top coat is actually not that bad at all. Itz not fast drying, so it does take a bit longer to dry. But I adore the shine it provides, people thought I had a gel manicure when I used this. It...

    I so badly wanted to love this top coat, but it just doesn't work with my nails, no matter how many chances I give it. It never fully dries, causing the polish to constantly dent. It applies...

    This along with colorstay base coat has been great for my nails. They are stronger and growing long. The only negative I see is it takes longer for my nails to dry with this. Considering every...

    I'm a bit of a top coat junkie, I like to try out different brands so I doubt I'll repurchase this. It's ok and does the job, makes my nails shiny but takes a while to dry and gets thick in its...

    I am crazy about the Colorstay base coat. It's my Holy Grail. Since CVS was having a sale, I gave this a shot. Eh. Nothing special. It doesn't dry quickly, and it doesn't dry my polish, and it...

    This top coat takes forever to dry. I've waited for 30 minutes to dry and go to bed. I wake up in the morning with markings all over my polish. NO BUENO :(
