Super Shiny Top Coat : Very pretty shine but don't expect quick dry

2 years ago

I wore through a little more than half of the bottle before it got thick and had to be tossed. I really like the shiny finish it gave my nails! One of the shiniest I've seen.

Pros:

- Is indeed high shine

- Easily workable formula for the first half of the bottle.

- Doesn't cause colored nail polish underneath to shrink since it's not fast drying.

Cons:

- Not fast drying. Takes about as long as any regular nail color to dry down; about 15 mins per coat to be safe. It's less ideal for topping colored polish than for using on its own.

- Will start to become thick and difficult to apply over time. I could have worked harder to finish my bottle, but adding thinner or dealing with the thicker consistency just wasn't worth the hassle.

I've mostly used it alone on bare nails for a shiny, natural look and that's become my favorite way to use it. Applying it over colored nail polish as a sealer coat makes for too much of a process and waiting time. I really do need fast drying for the purposes of top coating nail color. But on its own, this is lovely.

I won't repurchase right away, but I'd consider buying it again eventually.

I really love the look it gave my natural, bare nails.
