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

Love this! This is my go to top coat! It is so glossy and dries almost instantly! I use wraps on my nails and this seals and protects them and does not cause shrinkage of the wraps. It’s worth the price! It does get thick after a while and then it’s time for a new bottle. Mine lasted 10 months with bi-weekly use!

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.

Discovered this brand during a professional pedicure. It dries fast, almost gel-like, with a real glossy finish and less brittle/less chipping than other formulas I've tried. Worth a try.

Great shine that last over a week. I am hard on my nails. I type all day, and garden on the weekends. I re-do my nails weekly. Some times more than once a week. CND Vinylux top coat was easy to apply, dries quickly and doesn't dull. The best top coat I have purchased.

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 Review Rating: ★★☆☆☆ 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.

I love the shine but took one star off but they chip fairly quickly. I get about 5-7 days before major chipping using this as my top coat. I will note that I just transitioned back to natural nails after years of using gel and powder. My nails are not healthy so I need polish that will camouflage the damaged nails beds as I grow them out and baby them back to health. Overall this is the best top coat I’ve found. Photo reflects base coat, 2 coats of polish and 2 top coats applied over 2 days to ensure sufficient dry time between coats.

This is my favorite of all top coats, highly a recommended for anyone that doesn't get their nails done.Acrylic style
