Lives up to its word!

Time after time I have seen well known nail polish brands make claims that just don’t stick, however Essies Stay Longer Top Coat lives up to its word. Working in a job that means my hands are in water often and dealing with cleaning products I was shocked to see the top coat actually lasted 6 days. I definitely feel this product is salon quality and provided good protection in order to stop the polish from chipping. The product dries quickly and leaves a nice finish - I would recommend this product to anyone looking to prolong their nail polish life!

Tips: Only one layer of top coat required for a beautiful shine & long lasting protection!

Essie Stay Longer Ultimate Top Coat

I am someone who is very hard on their hands and have tried a few top coats that claimed to help protect your nail varnish and help it last longer. I found the Essie Top Coat does exactly that! After 4 days, it still looked great. It is easy to apply and does what it says it does. Very happy with this product and will recommend to all, especially those like me who are hard on their hands.

Great product!

I’ve always loved an Essie nail polish and this too coat certainly does not disappoint. As a Pilates instructor, I’m barefoot a lot and have to stare down at my feet more regularly than the average person so having my nails regularly painted and not chipping is important to me. This top coat was easy to apply and definitely helped my painted nails last longer without chipping and kept them looking shiny and glossy. Can definitely recommend as it’s easier to take off than gel polishes so is a good alternative if you don’t want to do gel or powder nails.

Bees Knees

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

I think I found my new holy grail of top coats

I am a serial self-manicure kind of girl, so I am used to doing a nail paint on an almost weekly basis. Having DIY nails also means dealing with the fact it chips quite quickly. While I have also tried lots of top coats in an effort to keep my nails looking nicer for longer, generally I have found them to be lacklustre in that they either look like they have a bubbly appearance, don't dry well, or cause the polish to peel off in large sections.

Suffice it to say I was very pleasantly surprised that this product does what it says, in fact, I am still wearing the same nail polish almost two weeks on - with only the ends slightly chipped; I've never had polish last this long. I am rough with my hands too, so I would even go as far to say that if you were careful, you could get longer than 7 days. It goes on flawlessly, and you can see the nice thick clear coat that it leaves, gluing the polish to the surface better, and is also silky smooth to the touch. People who have noticed my nails, think I have had them done professionally.

I can imagine the bottle will last a good while, as I didn’t use a huge amount of product to achieve the end result. I also felt the smell was fine, and not overly strong or chemical like. I will say probably the obvious, that doing this in really good light will help, I found I hadn’t gone quick to the edge of the colour having done it in lower lighting.

This is definitely a product I will continue to purchase, and add to my weekly manicure routine.

No chip summer nails coming right up!

I find most top coats while they look good to start, don't protect the nail polish and chipping happens fast - especially toes, with the daily shoe wearing etc. Well not with the Essie Stay Longer Ultimate Top Coat!

I've had it on my toes, over a bright red Essie polish for two weeks, and no chips in sight! It goes on so easily - so you can easily apply a thin coat, with no mess, and the polish looks pretty and glossy the whole time.

I painted my daughters nails - and she's brutal with polish - and it lasted better than any other top coat - not 2 weeks but we got close to a week before there was really obvious chipping.

Really really love the high shine too of this top coat. It's really stand out. All in all - I love this Top Coat and it will be a staple for me for fingers and toes.

Bright and Shiny Color

I was very excited to try Essie Stay Longer Ultimate Top Coat as it claims to be a premium longwear top coat for an up to 7 day salon quality manicure. I normally have to remove my nail polish around the 3erd day as I am very rough with my nails, so if it could last a week … Amazing! For best results, it should be paired with an Essie polish to keep the color smooth, bright and shiny. In my case I tried it with an OPI polish as I felt like that color at that moment. Applying the top coat was very smooth and made the polish brighter and shinier, really improving the color. It took about 5 minutes to dry. I was impressed by day 3 because there were no chips and the color was still bright and shiny. The first chips appeared by day 5 but they were minimal and not very noticeable. Overall, I am very happy with Essie Stay Longer Ultimate Top Coat, it didn’t last salon quality manicure for a week but it did a very good job, better than others I tried before.

Great Quality Topcoat

This top coat delivers on its promise. As someone who leads an active lifestyle (gym and sports), I was amazed that my polish lasted this long.

The formula glides on effortlessly and the colour definitely stayed vibrant and glossy, and I was blown away by the shine it added. Throughout the week, my nails remained smooth and bright.

I noticed some minor chipping around day 7, but this durability is exceptional considering my active routine.

Tips: Applying the top coat to the full length of the nail, as recommended, prevented most of the chipping and peeling.

Hard on hands Mum!

I wanted to leave this review for the last minute so I could truely test this product out and I can safely say it’s probably one of the best top coats I’ve used to date! I absolutely hate the fact that when I apply polish it comes off after a day or so. I’ve had this on for about a week and am super happy with the results! Hardly any chipping and still super shiny! I’m pretty tough on my hands at work and constantly doing dishes and my polish still looks pretty good! I don’t tend to use normal polish because of the reason that it never lasts long and usually go straight for the gels, but I am happy to say I will most likely reach for some of my normal polishes now! I used a Revlon nail polish underneath this time so am interested to see how it will go with some of my cheaper polishes in my collection. Also found that it dried pretty quickly which I love! I don’t get a lot of time to myself these days with a young child so when I get to pamper myself I love when it’s quick and easy if I have a million other things to do! I would probably use this by itself if I’m not wanting any colour on my nails but want to look shiny and healthy 😄
