This is amazing

Poor Quality
I recieved this top coat along with a color in my Influenster box this month. I was excited to try it since I've always been a huge Essie fan, but I was super bummed at the results.

Very shiny, quick drying, does not chip.
Very shiny topcoat, does not chip, and drives very fast. I am very pleased with this product. It does have a bit of an outer at first, but it dissipates very rapidly. Overall, I am very pleased with the Essie topcoat. Other top coats are very tacky. This is not. It stays shiny the entire time until I take it off.

Great top coat!
This top coat is divine! I fell in love with it gives the perfect shine and actually helps with prolonging the nail polish. I would definitely recommend to friends and family!
I love it, worked great
I really like this clear coat it dried quickly and kept my nails sealed decently long like at least a week but you're supposed to reapply and I forgot to do that. Love it, worked great.
Great top coat
This top coat is good. Gives the nails a nice shine like a true gel polish. It also helps the polish to last longer without chipping.
