I bought this top coat after becoming frustrated with the longevity of regular nail polishes (including OPI) after reading some recommendations and wow!! I use it both on top of other Essie Gel Couture polishes and other nail polish and it seals the layers below, stops smudging, and holds up really well. It lasts about a week without any chips and comes off like normal polish so definitely a win.

Tips: Only thing I would say is that it is important to cap the nails when painting to make this last longer, I find it can wear on the free edge quite fast.
I tried this over my existing nail polish and worked well over a week. I applied 2 coats and made my nail polish look like I had spent loads of money at the nail salon and even had a few lovely compliments. Hardly any smell, dries super quick and goes on super easy with a really nice consistency. Would I use this again?? ABSOLUTELY!!!
Tips: Apply 2-3 coats
Have never used another top coat that glossed over my mistakes as much, nor make my nail polish as chip resistant as this. I like how it also bulks up the polish a bit to actually look like a bit like gel. Have re-bought twice, and will probably buy again after I run out
Tips: Use on top of any nail polish - not just the Essie Gel Couture.
