I am pretty finicky about top coats, and only bought this because I desperately needed one and it was immediately available. Initially I thought I had scored, but then discovered that this top coat was horrible. It sucks the colour right out of your polish, leaving it looking dull, and scratches and chips really quickly. Definitely not long lasting, and definitely not shiny. I would not recommend this product.

I was initially a bit sceptical about purchasing a new brand of top coat, but I'm glad I did! This top coat lives up to its word, regardless of what brand of nail polish you're using. I love the shine which it adds simply because it doesn't fade after a few days. The drying time is also very quick which is perfect for an impatient person like myself. The brush is a bit narrow, so it takes a few sweeps over the nail to cover it, but I easily solve this problem by pressing the brush against the side on the bottle to flatten it and make it wider. The other great thing about the brush is that it doesn't leave any lines on your nail polish, nor do the bristles fall out.

I also noticed that when I apply this top coat my nail polish generally takes longer to chip.

The price is extremely reasonable for a wonderful product such as this, at only R29.99 for 10ml.A definite must-have!
