If you want a 2-in-1, it passes

I find any 2-in-1 product like this compromises on one or both of the functions it promises. I purchased this when travelling so I didn't have to carry both a base and top coat, and it did an ok job. I din't have very high expectations on account of it being a multipurpose product. It's easy to apply, the brush and bottle are easy to use. I used my bottle up quite quickly and it did thicken when I had about a 3rd left, making it a bit less useful and probably not the most amazing value. It does an average job, you're better off getting a proper base and top coat.

Okay.

Personally I thought this was a so,so product.

I wasn't insanely wow-ed by it but it did the job. It did its duty in terms of being both a base and a top coat.

I don't necessarily think it was chip resistant either or that it moisturized my nails. But it did have a beautiful shine.

It dried at an okay amount of time. So overall it was a good product and it saves you money but I am still yet to find my holy grail top coat and base coat.

Pretty good

I have recently purchased this as I needed a quick cheap solution, and have been happy with it so far. Obviously as a double-duty product it isn't as good as separate top/base coat would be on their own but it does the job! It protects my nails from staining and the top coat dries reasonably quickly and protects better than it would without anything so I'm happy with it. I wouldn't claim it is entirely chip resistant but it is shiny and hard. The brush size is perfect and it smooths out well. I would purchase again if I needed a double-duty product in a hurry.

one of the better ones

Double duty, is actually really good. I really like that it is in a clear bottle so you can see how much is left. It says its chip resistant, but on my nails it started to chip within 5 days (which in all honesty isnt that bad for me). It didnt give that shiney look, but its not actually formulated for that. (so no biggy). I did notice that my cuticles wernt rubbish using this, so im guessing it did nourish them as well and semi strengthing my nails. the biggest issue i have with this, is that it is an extremely strong smelling polish, i get a headache from using it, so have to use outside. but other than this, its a good polish :)

Sally Hansen Double Duty

As a base coat this product works for me, but not as a top coat. I am very impatient about my nails not drying on time, I just hate to wait for them to dry. I wouldn't use this as a top coat as I find it take a long time to dry, I like the ones that dry quickly.

Sally Hansen Double Duty

This is a pretty average nail varnish. The formula is quite thick and over time it can become a little gloppy. I find it to be OK as a base coat but it does not make a very good top coat as it takes forever to dry.

Some nail varnishes work alright with this formula and it seems to do a OK job at preventing chips for 2 days. Other nail varnishes it is near impossible for this stuff to dry therefore you'd never know how good it is at preventing chips.

The brush is nice enough and the product does apply OK. Basically I would only use this as a base coat (even then it does take a long time to dry) but wouldn't really recommend it as a top coat.

I do not believe it is a good product for the price. If the price was only 5.00 NZD like it is in America then I would say buy it and see if you like it or not. Because of the price (19.99) I would not really recommend it as it's such an average product.

Chip resistant?

As a base coat this works well, and I love the shine achieved when using as a top coat, though it is pretty slow drying. It don't believe it helped with chips though. My nails had chipped within 24 hours, which was pretty disappointing, given that I was on holiday and being quite gentle with my hands. I'll finish the bottle but won't be repurchasing given the price and that it really didn't do the job of helping to prevent chipping.
