I love multipurpose products, and usually also Sally Hansen. Since I needed a new base coat, I decided to give this a try. I truly loved the fact, that it dries within seconds. So here we go, I...

Being an avid Seche vite user, I was getting frustrated as my HG top coat was getting thick and goopy as I ran out, so I picked this Sally Hansen one up at Target for 4 bucks. I wanted to try the...

Boy did I get fooled! My Out the Door started getting too thick (nail polish remover added to the bottle later fixed it good as new) and I didn't want to drive across town to Sallys right then, so...

I HATE this product. Not only does it take a REALLY long time to dry, but it bubbles up so badly on my nails. I do NOT like this at all! Total waste of $8. More expensive than Seche Vite, and not...

This bubbled up on me - but because I had bought a new nail polish as well I assumed it was that. Removed everything and tried again with an OPI that I've used several times before and when THAT...

Opposite to what many reviewers experienced with this product, this top coat did not cause any bubbles in my in nail polish. The varnish was quite thin actually. Every time I use this, I apply in...

I should know better than to buy a two in one base and top coat... sigh. I bought this on vacation- I hadn't brought any nail products along but bought a few polishes and wanted to try them out. ...

This product is really working for me. The secret here is to buffering and shining nails (4 Sided Nail Polishing Buffer ) before application. As you follow the instructions this product protects...

I really like this top coat, especially in comparison to the "No Chip" one that Sally Hansen makes. I can go without painting my toes for well over a week or two. The only time it leaves bubble...

Seriously, DO NOT USE THIS. Ever. I've only ever used it as a top coat or on it's own, but it's still terrible either way. The polish has a really thick consistency, and paired with the thin brush...

I did not get the one that has both the top coat and base coat in one because they didn't have it. I did get these individually and I like them. I don't think there is anything different about...
