I swear by all opi
This is a great top coat. My polish lasted for three weeks. Just applied one more coat in the middle of the three weeks. — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Only OPI Top Coat for me!
I love all things OPI and this top coat is no exception. I always use this top coat and my polish stays chip free and beautiful for days. A little tip: Reapply every other day or so, for a longer lasting manicure or pedicure. This top coat does get a little thick towards the end of the bottle so get some OPI nail polish thinner and use up the whole bottle! — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 2 people said helpful

nice
this OPI top coat is very thick. it leaves your nails shiny and my color lasted me about 4 days before it started to chip. but i feel that because its so thick, it peels off very easily. so once your nail color starts to chip off, the entire color can be easily peeled off. thats convenient because you need less nail polish remover! i want to like this even though its too thick and takes a while to dry. its also easy to get bubbles in your nails. — 2 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Did nothing
This top coat was thick and dented my polish. I found it took a while to dry and did nothing for my manicure. — 1 year, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Thick and bubbly
This was actually the first top coat that really did what it promised. It added shine and protection to my at-home manicures. The problem with this is the application. This top coat applies really thick and kind of gloopy. Even though this is meant to be quick-drying, it didn't really help my manicure dry much faster than typical top coats. If I didn't wait very long for my colored polish to dry, this would actually pull the color. Sometimes this was so thick to apply that if I wasn't careful it would mess up the two colored coats I had meticulously applied. This formula is also quite susceptible to air bubbles. I would often find that I had little air bubbles in my manicure from the top coat after I finished. I much prefer Seche Vite as a top coat. It's the same price point, applies much easier and reaps the same benefits and more than the OPI top coat. — 8 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Absolutely nothing special! I've had top coats same or even better that are less expensive. The product doesn't justify the price. — 1 year, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Like armor for a manicure!
This is a very heavy duty top coat! It's worth paying a little more at the drug store for OPI products. This really seals in your manicure really well and makes it last for days without chipping. Although the drying/setting time is rather long, it really does act like a tough armor for your nails once it is set. Don't use in the hours before you go to bed though. I've used this 4 hours before bed, and nails appeared to be 100% dry and hardened but I somehow still woke up with sheet marks on it. But the long drying time is worth the heavy dute toughness your nails will get. My manicures usually last for close to 2 weeks with this top coat (and I am extremely tough on my nails too). — 3 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Not the best but not the worst
I was not too impressed with this top coat. It does make my polish last longer than if i didnt put one on, but its also too thick for my liking. — 1 year, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Best top coat ever!
This top coat is, without a single doubt, the best top coat I have ever used. I purchased it at Ulta, after talking with one of the sales girls about how my nail polish never lasts long enough when I do it myself. She instantly pointed me to two products: Revlon Quick Dry Base Coat and the OPI Top Coat. I went home that day and tried both of them with an OPI polish and, when my nails still looked amazing a week later, I knew I'd made a great buy! This top coat protects against any chipping or scratching and doesn't make my polish peel at all. In fact, it's actually really hard to take off with polish remover haha :) My only gripe is that it takes a while to dry. However, I'm willing to deal with that minor snag to get a great at-home manicure that lasts forever! — 1 year, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Review subject
I think this top coat works great, but I haven't really tried many others, especially any other "high end" brands. I usually only buy OPI nail polish, which is why I use the OPI topcoat. I got a little sample bottle of it a year ago which worked well. It started to get really thick, gooey, and sticky after about a year of using it whenever I did my nails (about one or two times a month), and sometimes even using it as a base coat. I would not call it a high shine top coat, but that isn't to say that it isn't shiny, it's a great "regular" topcoat. I used it recently on top of glitter and the glitter help up pretty well for about three days (which is a pretty good length for glitter) before it started to chip, but I probably should have reapplied the top coat anyway. All in all love it and don't plan on buying a different brand anytime soon:) — 4 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
