Essie Good To Go! Fastest Drying Top Coat

This top coat not only makes the polish look great, fresh, newly painted all day long BUT it smothers out any imperfections and unevenness left by the polish and gives it a coat that last weeks longer than without a top coat and even with a regular top coat. Makes the nails feel like they have a gel nail polish and performs equally to that of gel nail polish.

After not being able to find the Essie Good to Go top coat with peach writing on the bottle that has always worked brilliantly, I bought the new formulation with green writing. This stuff does NOT work! I didn't make it through the day without chips and I used to make it over a week! I thought maybe it was the polish, so I tried 2 other shades of Essie polish. Same result! I'm so disappointed and will try to find another top coat!

I bought this in hopes it would give a better shine to the pink essie polish and base coat I already had. I've used the pink alone with two coats and 30 min dry time between coats with zero problems. It typically stayed for 3/4 days before wearing off so I thought the top coat would help it stay longer. I applied the polish exactly as before and waited a full hour after the second coat of color to apply the top coat. I touch tested the color and made sure it was fully dry before applying top coat. I applied top coat on one hand. After an hour, it still wasn't dry and when I tested it, everything was wet and the all the polish came off as if the color layer was fully wet. I draped a paper towel on the nail and all the polish stuck to the paper and came off the nail. The other hand, without top coat, was still fine a day later. I've tried again on one nail waiting for the color coats to dry overnight before applying the top coat and same effect. It's as if the top coat re-wets the color polish and just never dries. Top coat works as a polish remover. Very disappointed with the top coat of SAME brand would interact this way with polish.

Bought this to use with my Essie polish. It applies nicely, but after a day or less, the entire thing peels and falls right off. I don't know what I could be doing wrong--this is the only brand I've had this problem with, and it happens every time I try it again. Gave 2 stars just because it's so easy to apply.

Not sure what else to say other than I am really impressed that not only did this actually dry quickly and thoroughly but it really has held up over a hectic weekend. Normally my nails chip or peel within 2 to 3 days. This happens even with gel polish at the salon I don't know why other than I am constantly doing dishes and typing. Anyway, I am on day 4 of using this top coat and so far no chips or peels. My nails still look great. I used the Orly Bond base coat and an OPI color for reference.
