I love this top coat but I always end up throwing a bottle that is more than half full into the trash. For some reason, this top coat becomes goopy in texture after a while (approx. 1-2 months)....

Not much to say, great top coat, lots of shine, makes my nail polish last a lot longer, no shrinkage issues and a good price. I like to put dry drops on top of this to make my nails dry ultra...

I'm honestly not a very big fan of Sally Hansen products, but this is the only product from them that I've repurchased. I'd say it dries relatively quickly but your nails will still be tacky (not...

This is a decent top coat, but it's not great. It dries the surface in less than a minute, but it still takes a while for the nail polish to completely harden and I've messed up my manicure many...

This top coat is the best out there iMO. I used to use Seche Vite but it would get gummy and hard to use about half way through the bottle. Also, it would separate around the edges of my nails....

This is my favorite top coat that I've tried so far! It dries my polish really fast and leaves it a nice shiny finish. I didn't find my polish lasting longer than usual though ... I'd say it'd go...

Before I started using this top coat, I was using Seche. I loved how fast it dried and how shiny my nails were, but my nails chipped so bad that I had to stop using it. I think that this top coat...

I enjoy this topcoat for these reasons: 1) It dries pretty fast 2) it makes my nail polish last longer 3) it makes the polish look sparkly and glossy The only complaint I have is that after I...

I've used this top coat a couple of times in the past and honestly, I've been very pleasantly surprised! It dries to a very shiny/glossy finish and dries very fast too! We're talking 3-4 minutes...

Works every time and my polish lasts at least a week and a half before I see a chip. You must "seal" the tip of the nail but that's a given with any top coat IMO. This is my HG and ONLY top coat.
