I was very disappointed with OPI top coat. The one good thing about it is that it was incredibly fast drying and that was impressive considering that there is also a fast dry version available. My biggest issue with this product is that it seems to make my other OPI enamels peel off quicker than if I use no top coat at all. Perhaps I got a bad batch, but I bought it from Unichem so I know it's not fake either but for whatever reason once I apply it within a few hours my polish will peel off in large layers, to the point where I could probably pull most of a whole nail of polish off in one sweep. Perhaps mine is too thick or something and it applies too much and makes the manicure too thick and the layers more prone to peeling? Ever since I have avoided using this and don't bother with top coats over my OPI's as I find they last up to 4 or 5 days with no chips even on my busy hands.

This top makes all the difference! It makes the nail colour look much smoother and really glossy! I've noticed with this top coat when I go to take it off, it takes quite a while also with this top coat it doesn't chip as bad as most top coats! It is my favourite top coat to use, the only problem with this is that it's not super fast drying like some other top coats but if you have the patience then this will work.just fine for you ! :)
Oh i am a huge OPI fan, maybe even a little bias as all i have is OPI. I went for ages without worrying about a top coat as i thought just the colour outlasted all other brands i have tried. But there was a farmers special where you got this free with a colour. It does make it lovely and shiny and makes it last sooo long. I havnt looked back and use this every time.
Tips: Store your polish in the fridge door to help with smoother application and longer shelf life
I used this for a long time and did repurchase it once or twice before I moved onto Seche Vite. This has a nice formula that isn't too thick and doesn't have a strong smell. However, it is slow to dry (compared to Seche Vite) and doesn't wear tremendously well - I found polish was chipping off within a few days. The finish is nice, but I prefer Seche Vite which makes it look glassy. OPI has made a decent product here, but it unfortunately does not measure up to other products on the market.
Tips: Drying drops e.g. those from Orly might help with the drying speed.
