I'm quite pleased with this, it's great VFM as you don't need to buy a top coat and base coat separately - also easier to carry around if you want to paint your nails on the go.Some people have been complaining about how as a top coat it's rubbish because it takes ages to dry. Well - if you apply it on top of still-wet nail paint, it will take a while to dry won't it!I apply a base coat, give it 10 minutes to be safe, then paint my nails - 1 or 2 coats - give it a good 5 - 15 minutes depending on whether it's quick dry or not - and then apply the top coat.This may seem like it takes too much time but if you devote some time on a weekend to this, you have good-as-new nails almost until end of the week - so it's well worth it.At the price,

I love gels but they are a nightmare! My nails are pretty dried out and brittle and gels stick like crazy, NOTHING shifts it completely and the remaining patches after soaking and digging away at it are a pain. I can’t afford to risk using a file, my nails are flimsy enough already!Peel off bases either stick just as well or fall of within hours... something else was needed.Double duty to the rescue! I put it on a day before doing my nails to give it time to fully cure then I pretty much encapsulate it in gel. When it comes to taking it off a quick buff to break the shine so the remover can do it’s soak thing and the ordeal is much less time consuming.

As soon as I saw this amazing price I just had to buy it! In the UK this product costs almost £7.00 which I think is a bit ridiculous for a little jar of nail polish so I am sooo pleased I found this item online for less than half the price!! I've only used this product once so far but it has worked a treat. It helped my nail polish last for a whole week with only very minor chipping and it definitley adds a lovely sheen to the polish. I cannot wait to use this again and would reccommend this product to everyone who loves manicures.The seller was also very efficient. Within a couple hours of ordering I recieved an email to say my purchase had been shipped and it arrived within 3 working

I do not believe reviews that says "it works from the first time" BUT this one does. I have been biting my nails for last 20 years and they have become really brittle and soft. The only way to grow them is when wearing gel manicure. Now in lockdown I opted for cheaper solution and voila they feel stronger and thicker from the first usage and don't split on the sides (hence not bitten off). First application was with 2 layers of nail polish and lasted about 8 days. On the photo is the second application where I didn't want colour so just I applied 2 layers of this base - it is a bit thin and peeled a bit of the edges but I will keep using it :) Recommended!

I've been using this product for years now on my toenails. I apply it as a base coat and then apply my nail polish and then apply this as a top coat. The polish lasts for ages and I rarely get chips or polish coming off in normal everyday life (unless I really scrape my toenail on something). I've sometimes gone as long as a month without having to re-apply polish and only did it in the end because my toenails were growing out. It also protects your toenail from staining when you use really dark colours. This is the cheapest I've found it on-line (at chemists it's £5.00+) and I can recommend this product.

By far and away the very best top and base coat I have tried. It works to protect the nail and allow it to grow. The idea being that you sandwich a layer of colour between two coats of the product. I have been wearing a gel manicure for years and now I have had to remove it as a result of lockdown, my nails are very fragile at the tip which crumbles.This product protects the tip very well better than a much more expensive product. Hopefully this will allow my nails to stay intact whilst the stronger nail grows up to the tip, this will also protect the nail bed at the top of the nail.

My nails had always been really fragile, they'd bend and break and chip and never grow long, but this has changed all that. My nails are pretty, strong and long, just like I've always wanted.Pros:+ Dries fast as base+ Makes nail polish last a long time (depends on the polish, of course)+ Makes nails stronger and healthier+ Great even on it's own (gives a nice shine)+ Really smooths out the surface of the nailCons:- Shelf life isn't amazing; can become quite "sticky" and hard to spread if not used relatively fast

The only issue I have - and which is similar to other nail polish is that from when there is about a third of the varnish left - it's impossible to apply smoothly. This is because even shaking the bottle between applications doesn't deposit enough varnish onto the stick and brush to do a nail before it starts to set. And this is a shame because until it gets to that point I get a nice smooth coat each time I apply it. But it's not the only one that does this - most Rimmel colour gloss does the same.

Applies easy.dries quick. Used it as a base and top coat. Adds shine to plain and coloured nails.I applied it about a week ago. It chipped a little same day. It chipped a couple of days later again. My nails still look nice and glossy. Chips arent noticable on light polish.Has not made my nails stronger as 1 has snapped. Has not made them feel smoother. I am pleased with this product though. My colour has never lasted this long or looked so glossy.

I've just had to invest in some industrial strength hand cream to stop my hands turning to stegosaurus hide, so you can imagine how tough it can be to stop my nails chipping. I'd be lucky to have any colour left after cleaning grout or scrubbing the oven with wire wool. Now, I struggle to get the stuff off with polish remover! I may have to use turpentine in order to change colours. It's a tough as my skin is going to be at the end of summer.

When I ordered this product I didn't expect it to be any good as I read a lot of reviews about it. BUT it is very good. I use it as a base for the nail polish and as a top coat. It goes well with all my nail polishes. It actually makes them last longer. I very often was dishes and do other things in the water. This to coat protects my nail polish so I don't have to change it every 3 days. It gives a nice shine as well.

I really like Sally Hansen nail products. This is easy to apply, dries pretty quickly and gives a good finish. I've also used it without polish - 2 coats and you get a n excellent, clear finish which lasts for ages with no chips. I would say if you have ridges/uneven nails you'll probably find this doesn't work well as a base coat and a separate, purpose made product would be a better option.

Very happy with the product itself, great as a base and top coat although I wasn't to happy about paying £7.99 for 1 bottle of nail varnish.. The description has 'free delivery' in bold so I assumed it was super savers UK delivery but in the fine print it's with orders over £20 so bare that in mind ! Great product and happy with it although I wasn't to please with the postal price added :)

I have used several other brands of base&top coats and none of them have performed as well as this one. My nail base is protected after wearing two layers of nail polish on top and let me tell you my nails last over 1 week WITHOUT chipping which is amazing and I never thought was possible outside of a professional nail salon. i definitely recommend this product and will be repurchasing.

So far so good. I normally use a different base and two layers of colour then a top coat, so I did just that except that I used this as my top coat and I must say it's been 1.5 weeks since I applied the polish and usually after that my nails don't look nice at all, chipping is all over them. However they look pretty decent which is a surprise! I'd definitely recommend this product.
