CND Vinylux Long Wear Shine Top Coat, Quick Drying Formula, Easy to Remove, 0.5 Fl Oz

This stuff is amazing. I’ve been using the same bottle for the last 2 years and I still love it. It is just now starting to get a tiny bit thick, but it still works well, especially when I warm it up against my skin. It dries quickly, and super smooth and shiny, looks like a gel top coat. I’ve also used it with lots of different brands and haven’t noticed any color transferring or smudging. Manis last a long time too.

This is an absolute nessesesity with my polish. Great shine, helps with durability.

This top coat is amazing! I do my own nails once a week and this product makes it so much easier. It dries quickly and doesn't smudge. I make sure I always have an extra one on hand.

I used this with the Rubble polish and I have had it on for 10 days and it is still looking ok. This is my first time trying the Vinylux polishes. It isn't as shiny and awesome as the first day but it doesn't look as horrible as regular polish does by day 10 (if you still have any on by day 10). It dries very quickly and is very shiny the first 4-5 days and not bad day 6-8. I don't know what would happen if I just applied another coat of clear polish around day 5. Maybe I will try that next time. I really like it because I can wear a color for a week but I don't have to wear it for two weeks to justify the cost. It goes on like regular polish so you don't have to go to a salon and pay $30-40 to have it done. Once it's dried it does feel thicker than regular polish but not in a bad way. It feels like it helps to make my nails stronger. I use my hands a lot at work and I wear gloves 20-30% of the time, I do a lot of typing, I wash dishes 3-4 times a week so if it was going to chip there were plenty of opportunities. I hate having to walk around thinking "I can't do that because I don't want to mess up my nails". Now there was some wearing at the nail tip and one or two chips at the corner tip of the nail but even gel nails wear at the tips if you use your nails/hands a lot. But given how long it has been I am very pleased. I would have taken the polish off after a week if I wasn't so lazy this week. I will definitely check the Vinylux inventory before I make my next nail color purchase to see if the color I want is offered before I buy it in regular polish.

CND Top Coat ReviewRating: ★★☆☆☆As an avid nail enthusiast, I had high hopes for the CND Top Coat, expecting it to deliver the long-lasting, glossy finish it’s known for. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of these expectations.Performance:The primary issue with the CND Top Coat is its lack of adhesion. After carefully applying it over my manicure, I noticed that it simply didn’t stick to the nail surface properly. Within a day, the top coat began peeling off in large chunks, leaving my manicure vulnerable and chipped. This was particularly disappointing as I followed the application instructions meticulously, ensuring my nails were clean and dry.Durability:One of the top coat’s selling points is supposed to be its durability. However, due to the peeling issue, it failed to protect my manicure for more than a day. This contrasts sharply with other top coats I’ve used, which typically extend the life of my manicure by at least a week.Finish:When first applied, the CND Top Coat does provide a beautiful, glossy finish. However, this is short-lived due to the adhesion problem. The initial shine and smoothness are undermined by the quick deterioration.Application:Application-wise, the product goes on smoothly and dries relatively quickly. The brush is of good quality, allowing for even coverage. However, these positives are rendered moot by the product’s inability to stay on the nails.Conclusion:Overall, while the CND Top Coat has the potential to deliver a professional-looking finish, its major flaw in not adhering properly to the nails makes it a poor choice for anyone looking to extend the life of their manicure. There are many other top coats on the market that offer better durability and reliability. Sadly, I cannot recommend the CND Top Coat based on my experience.

A coating of this stuff will make anything under it wear lots longer. I use it over stick on nail designs. Often wear them up to 3 weeks

Best top coat for natural nails. Long lasting shine. I use it on my gel nails too for a refresh!

I can honestly and sincerely say this is 100% the BEST topcoat ever! I've used it not only over CND polish, but others and the result is the same!! I am a full time caregiver to a relative and always have my hands in water, lotion, gloves etc. - this keeps the polish on! I'm very happy!!
