    I use regular nail polish and put a coat of this stuff over the top. It's perfect. Works just as good as any gel top coat I've used and makes my nails look SO shiny and classy. I was paying over...

    I'm going to stop buying expensive brands and just buy this one from now on. It's perfect, and it dries more quickly than the others. My nails look gorgeous!

    I got this product in a swap and when I got it it was clear. The bottle turned yellow before I even got to use it for the first time. I used this and it made my polish bubble. It makes me want to...

    This top coat advertises a "gel look" and it definitely lives up to that claim. This is my go-to topcoat and I have been asked countless times if I was wearing gel nails while wearing it over...

    I don't have any other top coat to compare with so this review will be scored according to how I like the product in general at this point. I bought this on a whim as I was purchasing their Express...

    I've been looking for a well priced top-coat for ages that lasts longer than my essie or fancy sally hansen ones. I find this one is super shiny, lasts longer and keeps it together even if it...

    I never really use topcoats because all of the ones worth buying are out of my university student price range. But i've been increasingly more and more impressed with Essence lately! This topcoat...

    This a great topcoat that actually extended the life of my manis. Not sure I got the actual gel-look but I liked it anyway. Super downside: I was barely half done with the bottle when it started...

    I bought this recently at Ulta for about three bucks. Now, granted I haven't been using it long enough to tell if it lasts a long time, but so far I like it. I didn't find it that much longer to...

    I'm not too sure why there are so many bad reviews on this product! Maybe they've changed this polish a bit recently. I found it to be just what I was looking for! A thick and shiny coat that made...
