Pricey But Worth It
-05.09.13
As the title suggest, this product is in the upper price range. However, considering what you get in the product, the cost is well worth it and the polish lasts for up to a week before having to change it.

great product!
-03.25.13
I use 3 in 1 all the time and it is a great nail strengthener as well as a good base and topcoat. I also use the spray nail dry product and my nails look great for days!

Quick Take: not enough for severely damaged nails
Having just had acrylic nails removed, I was in dire need of a nail strengthener to get my natural nails back into shape. I had high hopes for this product but I was a bit disappointed. I used it as directed but did not see any positive results in terms of strengthening. I switched over to a different brand and am seeing much better results. I'm going to hang on to this though, and will use it when my busted nails grow out and no longer need such intensive treatment. Maybe it will work better for me then?

Quick Take: really worth it
This is the best base and top coat I've ever used. I messed up my nails by putting gel polish on them for about 1 minute and since that time my nails were dry, cracked and thin. I put the base coat on and it is shiny and fine. Put polish and then another coat of Sephora by Opi and it looks professional and healthy. This bottle should last me a long time

Good strengthener, average base, bad top coat
-02.28.13
I've been using Sephora's 3-in-1 polish for about 3 months now. My nails are noticeably stronger and less flaky after the extended use, and this polish makes a pretty average base coat (not too thick, quick to dry, relatively smooth). Unfortunately, this product bubbles horribly when used as a top coat. I dont know why it doesn't bubble as a base, but goes crazy on top. Also, as some other reviewers have mentioned, the top coat does dull and lighten the color of the main nail polish. You might be better off buying separate products.

This is the best 3-in-1 nail product I have ever used. Goes on neatly, not too thin or too thick, and wears well.

More like a 2 in 1
-02.15.13
Not sure how well this is as a strengthener but it does a good job on its own and as a base. When used as a base you can actually peel your nail polish off oppose to polish chipping and flaking off. It dries fast, easy to apply and adds a nice shine. I would not recommend this as a top coat as it is not very long lasting and it actually lightens the colour of your dark nail polishes changing the colour noticeably. The consistancy is also on the thicker side.

Alright
-01.31.13
I like using this as it's own coat, as my nail polish chips constantly at work due to having to unload shipments constantly, so having clear nail polish helps. Not sure if it strengthens any. I also noticed the bubbles that others have mentioned, but the polish color I had on was sparkled anyway so people would be pressed to notice that. Since I paid with this with a gift card I forgot I had, I'm alright with it.

Base coat and strengthener ONLY.
-01.25.13
Quick Take: good base bad top, bubbly
You'd be hard pressed to find a base coat that didn't do its job, but a top coat is a more delicate business. This stuff bubbled so badly I had to completely repaint my nails. As a base, it, like so many dollar-store brands before it, was fine. I wouldn't know about the strengthening powers of this, but I assume that it is part of the problem. I guess in order to strengthen nails, it would need a higher viscosity, but a thick top coat leads to bubbles. I know it is enticing to have all 3 products in one bottle, but when you are paying 10 bucks for each OPI polish, spend the extra $6 and buy separate base and top coats.

Like the product a lot
-01.17.13
Nice top coat, fine base coat. Not too thick. Using mostly as top coat - dries quickly. Stopped using as bae coat because nail polish didn't dry too well, might have been my fault since I get impatient. Would definately reorder.

Another winner from OPI
-01.05.13
Works well. I don't have anything to report as far as the strengthening claims. I can't tell a strength difference. I can tell a difference in how long it protects my color- greatness! Also, sometimes I have to buy cheaper grades of nail polish to get the freaky shades I like to wear, and this makes them look like expensive colors(Shiny, chip-free)! It also keeps cheaper polish from turning my nails yellow or staining. That's a big plus when I'm painting my nails neon green to match my son's band shirt. :-) Another winner from OPI.

Actually works!
-12.30.12
Quick Take: long-lasting
I'm always too lazy to use base/top coats, but I was getting really tired of my nails chipping too soon. I used this as both a base coat and a top coat, and it worked way better than I expected! My nails have been going strong for almost 2 weeks now, and only one of them chipped a bit towards the end.

Quick Take: bubbles
Do not recommend - my nails bubble with brand new Essie with this stuff. Not normal. Fine if you just want clear on your nails, not good for use with lacquer.

For how much this stuff is, I was expecting more out of it. It works just as well as the cheap stuff.

Best Top Coat Yet!
-12.06.12
This is the best top coat/base coat I have, to date, tried! My at-home mani has lasted up to a week or more with minimal chipping. Definitely recommend!
