I bought this product because I was badly in need of one, and I was also on the hunt for good top coats (will help my mani last and is high shine). I was convinced this was a good top coat based on the reviews, so I bought it and tried. But unfortunately I am disappointed. I will make 3 points why I did not like this product. (1) It's glossy coat did not last very long. Upon application and as it dried it was very glossy and shiny, but after 2.5 days, the shine has dulled out. I had to reapply the top coat to keep the shine. (2) This top coat also "shrinks" (you can look up "top coat shrinkage" to get a better idea of what this looks like). I can see the top coat from where I started to apply it. Meaning, you could see the difference of layer of the the top coat from the colored polish. It makes my mani very messy and undone. I have to make an extra effort to push the brush applicator closer to my cuticles, risking flooding my cuticles. (3) Lastly, when I'm applying the top coat on my second hand I notice that the polish starts to become "stringy", when I pull the applicator from the bottle there is this string created from the bottle to the brush, so I have to close the bottle and shake it up again to use it with better consistency. In conclusion, it's not a bad top coat. I just think there can be some things that can still be improved. Although I might not buy it again because I have found a top coat that performs better and is a lot less costly.
5 months agoI’m a self-proclaimed nail polish junkie, and I love to change nail polish every week. Because I like changing it up so much, I’ve gone through bottles of top coat from different brands looking for the one with the best shine, best quality, and shortest drying time. Girlstuff‘s fast dry top coat is all of those! It honestly applies like a dream, dries faster than expected, and dries all the way through! Because of this top coat, I never have to see fingerprint or fabric creases on my nail polish because only the top coat dried out, and not the actual polish underneath. Will always keep repurchasing this. 💖💞
9 months agoThe top coat is easy to apply and it dries really fast. It gives your polished nails a really gel like shine while at the same time it kinda thickens the feel of the polish on your nails, which is how I actually like it. The smell is there just like every polish but it lives up to its name.
11 months agoThis is one of the best fast drying top coats that I’ve tried. It is comparable to imported brands of fast drying top coats such as China Glaze and Orly, and is even better than many other imported brands that I’ve tried. It will leave your polish dry to touch in a couple of minutes or less. It doesn’t cause too much nail polish shrinkage as long as you wait an adequate time for your polish to “set” a little prior to applying this top coat. I love this product and have rebought this top coat 3 times. I will definitely rebuy it over and over.
about 1 year agoI was impressed by the quick drying ability of this top coat. It really lives up to its name. Your nail polish feels dry to the touch almost right away, but of course you wouldn't want to push your luck by pressing on it or accidentally hitting it on a surface that would cause smudging. Overall, I like this top coat better that Solique's gel one.
over 1 year agoI immediately tried it when I received this. I must say I don't regret purchasing this, it dries really quick and protects the other nail polish color(s) underneath. It also makes my nails look glossy and even, which I really like. Most importantly, it's affordable and locally made. I've tried many affordable top coats but this one is it.
