    This stuff is the bomb! I don't even use it with Essie brand polishes. You need to make sure you swipe the polish across the edge of your nail though, that helps a lot. Chips appear for me after...

    This stuff is amazing!! I love it. It makes your polish so super shiny and my polish lasted 7 days without chipping. It even makes the polish dry faster. I think I may only buy Essie polish...

    Whoa. Loving this. I have problematic, dry/peely nails and it's a MIRACLE when my hands don't look raggedy like 1.5 days after doing my nails. This topcoat, in conjunction with the Nailtiques 2+...

    Good stuff. I've used Essie other top coats. I liked them but disliked the lack of shine. This top coat gives a good shine and the polish will last. The other perk is it will fill in little dings...

    Honestly, this is a very magical topcoat! I didn't have high expectations when purchasing this because EVERY topcoat claims they are chip proof and nine times out of ten they aren't. Well this one...

    this is a HG for me. I work a very physical job and haven't painted my nails in years and with this product I can hold a manicure for 5+ days with minimal chip tipping.

    I'm impressed. This is a really, really good top coat - goes on easily without bubbling, gives my polish a high shine, and best of all, it makes my manicures last longer than others. It doesn't dry...

    I'm very impressed with this so far. I had been interested in this ever since I had heard about it, and now I'm wondering why I waited so long. It's not a fast dry top coat, but still fast compared...

    I use this top coat over all of my polish~OPI, Zoya, Essie, and China Glaze. It is very shiny, goes on smoothly, and leaves a finish that isn't so hard that it will crack. I don't find it to be a...

    I got this as a gift from my mom after balking at the price and let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised. I'd seen it in the store a couple of times, been tempted, and thought, "Nah, it's...

    This top coat does what it says! I can save a trip or two to get a gel mani because this Gel Setter sets my regular mani for a longer than usual time! It helps speed up the drying process too. Love...

    I'll start off by saying I really love this top coat. I've had it for quite some time and every time I use this top coat, it delivers. It's the same price as a standard essie polish so it's about...

    AMAZING. This top coat continually blows me away! I get comments almost everyday asking if my nails are gel and if a salon did them. Glides on the nail and never gets clumpy or goopy. I recommend...

    When I first got this top coat, I was in love. Went on smoothly, dried extremely quickly, and gave a high shine (not quite gel-like in appearance, but close) that extended my polish throughout the...

    Wow. After looking through all the comments on here, I thought I'd at least be able to get a day's worth of no chips on my manicure. Sadly, I was mistaken. 15 hours after applying this top coat, I...
