Love this polish and top coat. That’s deceiving. after you put the color on, it kinda looks terrible. Not shiny. then you do step two. And fantastic shine.

I have an acrylate allergy, I'm allergic to gel & acrylic nail products. I purchased this top coat because it's very highly rated and often recommended in lacquer communities! But unfortunately an ingredient in this top coat triggered my acrylate allergy and gave me contact dermatitis, so I can't use this product at all. Even with that aside, this top coat is not the best imo. It doesn't seem to be any thicker, glossier or more "gel-like" than any other quick dry top coat. It doesn't dry nearly as fast as some other quick dry top coats, and it shrinks considerably. Especially at the tips of my nails which is frustrating because I type a lot at work, and I need my tips to stay capped. It's also very annoying and gimmicky that the bottle is frosted, there's no reason for it and you can never see how much top coat is left in the bottle! I wouldn't recommend this topcoat honestly, there are many other much better quick dry top coats out there for a similar price.

Checked reviews here as I was gifted Essie 1 and 2. Nail polish lifted in one day. Thought I had to use a lamp to seal. Waste of money.

I've bought 2 bottles of this color over the past couple years, and let me tell you, it's my favorite color! Not only does it have long lasting stay and longevity, but I get more compliments on this color than anything I've ever worn. The color is gorgeous, and edgy without it being black. I love it, but only wish I could find it easier in stores lately.

I have used so many Essie gel colors, but this one is awful. The formula is horrid. What happened??? I’ve never done such a bad manicure! I do my nails religiously and I’ve never had such blotchy, bubbly nails. I need to take it off immediately and throw this in the trash.

This topcoat goes on so smoothly and dries very quickly. It looks better as it sets and feels hard and durable I can’t wait to see how long it lasts!

I want to love this. Dries quickly and with great shine but the shrinkage is terrible! I’ve tried different application methods such as applying while color coats are still wet, letting them dry before applying the top coat, etc. regardless, I always cap the nail. It shrinks so badly by the cuticle. I love wearing dark colors and the shrinkage pulls most of the color leaving a pale ring by my cuticle. Have to go back to the Gel Setter.

My nails looked great at first and for about a day or two, but by day three they were chipping badly. I put two coats of color and one coat of top polish on exactly as instructed. I have tried this with multiple colors of this polish. Unfortunately, it does not last as long as advertised.
