this is an amazing product! I use very dark or red polish in a mani/pedi and use at least 3 coats, so it's important that it dries quickly and gives a good shine. I hate smudging a perfect...

In one sense I like because this topcoat can amazingly transform lumpy manicure disasters like streaking or bubbling into an perfectly even smooth surface. Probably because its a thick gel-like...

I've read many bad reviews about this product, but it really works well for me. I use this and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri, the latter for Konad purposes, and this one for solid colors. It's the brush...

I got this in a gift pack. This top coat is so bad that it made me able to peel the whole nail polish coating off in one good piece. Fun, yes. Functional, no.

I got this from a friend who no longer needed it. It applied on very smoothly and was shiny, but I found it did nothing to prolong my manicure. It is not an 'extended wear' top coat as it...

I much prefer Double Duty over Mega Shine. I didn't really notice that much of a difference in shine level, but my nails chipped much faster using the Mega Shine. Would not repurchase.

More shiny than Sally Hansen's Double Duty. It makes my nail polish look great. If you need a base/top coat, buy the Double Duty one. If you're looking for shine, try out Mega Shine.

I only used this once before I returned it. I expected up to 10 days wear as it says on the package. Instead my polish peeled quicker than it would without a top coat. I notices this polish likes...

This product is great. Works just as well or better than more expensive brands.

This top coat dries really fast (the fastest I've ever come across) but it makes my nail polish start chipping within just a matter of hours! I'm normally able to get 5 days out of my polish...

This is the ultimate in smooth shine. Unfortunately, it chips horrendously and unless it's used on its own, has horrible lasting power. But I am such a sucer for shine, and this is the best I've...

This makes any botched polish job look wonderful. I'm always messing my nails up and after a few swipes of mega shine my manicure looks perfect! It also dries faster than I expected. I use this a...

Ah ha! After reading many of the reviews, now I know what's wrong here. I have used this top coat for 2 manicures - once over a Wet & Wild polish, once over a China Glaze. Both times - my nail...

What I love about this: It truly does give nails a high shine finish, which I love. It also dries my nail polish so fast. Faster then any other quick dry top coat I've used. Other I've tried...

I like how this product dries quickly, and gives my nails a nice glossy sheen. It also helps to strengthen my nails a bit. Overall, it's a good product which lives up to its name. The only...

I've found that Sally Hansen stuff peels right off. The base coats peel right off clean, dry nails (literally 20 minutes later I had big pieces popping off) or on painted nails my color and top...
