protective but had a few small bubbles
packaging is consistent with typical nail polish products with a wider fan brush as an applicator to cover nail surface area. the drying time is on par with typical top coats. this product creates a nice shine to the nail. it may have been my application, but i did have bubbles come up on my manicure consistently on all of nails.

Noticeable difference in shine!
This is a very nice top coat. I can definitely see a difference in shine when using it. I tested this on two different fingers. My middle finger has no top coat, and my pointer has this top coat applied. It absolutely looks more reflective to me. I knocked one star off because I felt a slight dragging on my nails when applying. I do really like the brush though, it is nice and wide. The dry time is very fast as well. I have the China Glaze base coat, 2 layers of color polish and 2 layers of top coat and my finger was try in under 10 minutes. I have done a full mani with this before and I got a solid 3 days before it started peeling a bit. Overall, I think it’s a good product.

Great top coat polish!
Perfect top coat! The bigger brush allows for more product to be applied in less time and with less strokes. I like how shiny and vibrant it makes the undercolor look.

Clear coat
Perfect addition to my nail polish cabinet! It creates a flawless, shiny finish for any nail color and helps protect my nail polish from chipping!

Super glossy!
I love how glossy this top coat is. The wide brush make application quick. It also applies very smoothly. It dries very quickly, and it has a very low odor too. The only complaint I have is that it seems to chip relatively easily.

Fast drying, easy to apply but not long-lasting to
As someone who SERIOUSLY needs a top coat in her nail polish collection, I was so excited to try this one out from China Glaze. I LOVE how it’s really easy to apply (although you do have to work fast/with more product to get a nice even layer) and it dries super fast, without getting sticky or lumpy. My gripe though is that it literally peels off after a few days- you can literally see and peel the whole layer off, which defeats the whole purpose of it as a protective layer. Since it dries so well, I just let it air-dry, but I might try curing it with UV light to see if that improves longevity.

Hi lvcialee_6504, thank you for your detailed feedback—it’s incredibly helpful. We're glad to hear you appreciated the fast-drying formula and ease of application, but we completely understand your frustration with the peeling. A top coat should extend your manicure, not shorten it, and we take full responsibility for falling short in that area. While this formula isn’t UV-curable, there are a few things that might help improve wear time, like lightly buffing the nail surface beforehand or ensuring polish layers underneath are fully dry. We’d be happy to walk you through those tips or help you find an alternative that better fits your needs. Your experience matters, and we want to make it right.
Great fast drying top coat polish
Super fast drying time for this top coat. Application is easy and simple to apply to whole nail perfectly. The scent is the same as any other nail polish. The finish is super shiny and glossy. Love the packaging and bottle.

This is a really amazing nail top coat! The finish quality is great! I had my nail lady think they that I had gel on my nails and it’s was regular nail polish.

Hi rocioc111_425, thank you for the great feedback—we’re thrilled to hear the top coat delivered such a high-gloss, professional-looking finish that even your nail tech mistook it for gel. It’s always rewarding to know a product can elevate regular polish to that level, and we’re glad it made such a strong impression. If you ever need tips to maximize its wear or pair it with new shades, we’re happy to help.
