I managed to purchase this for $1 on an online website and this lasted me a long time. I'd say atleast 10 months if not a year. That's using it every week for fingernail and toe nail applications. I personally found this polish to work better as a base coat protecter than as a top coat. I found as using it as a top coat really dulled the colour of the polish I was using, so I have stopped using it for that purpose.
So worth the $1 that I paid for it, I have another one already and would purchase this again in future.
In the last couple of years I just started getting into buying base and top coats. I picked up this little beauty from my local dollar store.
Packaging is basic nothing special. Brush itself is normal thickness. The consistency of this polish is smooth.
Waiting time is between 5- 10 minutes in between coats. This brand is has its highs and lows between products.
I only paid two dollars for my bottle at the time. I would happily buy another bottle.
