essie Nail Care, Salon Quality Long Coat, Vegan Without 8 Units, Stay Longer, 13.5 ml

EXCELLENT top coat. I keeps my nails looking nice for almost as long as gel but without damaging my nails. I'll upload a picture so you can see my nails after five days of washing dishes and doing normal life. You can see the nail regrowth near the quick and you can see that the nails did not chip at all. The trick is to paint a layer of this top coat between each layer of your preferred color and then do two topcoats after you're satisfied with how it all looks. Be sure and let it dry a few minutes between coats. It takes 2-5 minutes per coat. I use Beetles nail polish (NOT GEL) and it works super well. I've never found nail polish as good as this ever. Best of all? Acetone will take it off without a problem and my nails do not get damaged like they used to from gel polish. I don't waste ridiculous amounts of time trying to get this stuff off like I used to have to do with gel. Essie is the BEST!

Hands down the best top coat I have tried for making a mani last. Went from always chipping within a couple of days to manis consistently lasting over a week! It’s not quite as fast to dry as essie’s speed-setter, and maybe not quite as “plump” as gel-setter, but still pretty close to both and far more durable. And practically no shrinkage! My new holy grail.

Does what it says!

I have looked forever for a top coat that will keep my nails from chipping. This is at least a full week. And it gives it a little bit of shine. I was very relieved to finally find a product that actually did what it said and worked very well

Good viscosity, crystal clear
