It works like a charm if you don't mind the wair
I have never being fan of Essie nail polishes, I love the color selection but the formula always chips on me the next day. So when I got this as a preset from my friend, I was really skeptical and never used it. However a couple of weeks ago I found myself at my parents home and without a top coat...

Chips Like Hell
This was by far the worst gift I've ever received. I truly hope the person who gave it to me never sees this review. It's a horrible investment if you are looking for a good top coat. This was a runny mess, took forever to dry, didn't shine, AND IT CHIPPED LIKE CRAZY BY DAY 2!! For $1 less, get Posh...

Still on over a week later
I got this while traveling. I have very long natural nails, and one started to break. I got this and put it on and it's been well over a week and this has not come off! It kept my nails long and strong for a special event last week.
Never dries
It doesnt chip but it never dries so my maniure is always smudged and looks terrible.
Doesn't prevent chips
My nail polish chipped, scratched, dented, and started coming off within three hours of applying two coats of this. Complete waste of money.
Works great
I use Essie base and top coats exclusively, this goes on under my Good to Go and it's great. My polish usually lasts between 7-10 days and I type 30+ hrs a week. I maintain a free edge so it isn't that the tips arent making contact with anything. I notice different POLISH formulas wear differently, no matter what brand…sheer seems to be more flexible, my neons are closer to a matte formula and chip easier, regular cremes are 50/50. This doesn't say it's a quick dry and if your polish is already thick from evaporation this isn't gonna help.
Don't waste your money

Ruined my manicure. Painted it on in the morning and wasted dry by the time I want to bed. Manicure was a mess when I woke up, not to mention that it chipped on day two. Do not waste your money or time.
