Quick Take: fast-drying
This top coat is nothing special. It dries fast like all their polishes, but it doesn't do much as far as a top coat.

what a joke.

This is perhaps the worst top coat I have ever used. I got this in a julep box, and generally I like their polishes and products. This does not dry as quick as I would expect from a quick dry top coat, it does not leave a shiny finish, it smells awful (and the smell takes forever to dissipate.) My polish was chipping within 12 hours with this top coat. Plus, its $14. There are much better alternatives for a fraction of the price.

It does dry fast, but too many other problems
-09.04.12
Quick Take: too expensive for such a small bottle, dries with bubbles all over.
I ordered $100.00 + on Julep polishes because they have AMAZING colors. I should have tried one first before buying so many new colors and the top coat, because no matter whatever you do, once the polish is all dry, it's ALL LUMPY WITH BUBBLES. I called Julep and asked why and they were very nice, and she told me not to shake the bottle or pump it up and down with the brush, but to gently roll it back and forth in my palms it would stop. WELL, it didn't work.

Great top coat
-06.25.12
I really love this brand of polish and got the top clear coat because I loved one of the colors I bought previously. This polish dries nails fast, even when you have multiple layers (e.g. french manicure). It also leaves a really nice shine and if you have any imperfections before putting this on, it smoothes them over. Highly recommend.

Better for me than my favorite.

Quick Take: fast-drying, shiny
My favorite top coat is rated one of the worst for you nail polishes, but it is super shiny. I got this in a julep box. I like it a lot. Not as shiny, but it is up there. Dries fast. Not the most long wearing products for me. I have a smooth oily round nail bed on top of playing string instruments. Polish does not last on me. Longest I ever got was a little over 24 hours. Gel chips on me before 24 hours is up, every single time. My point, I get maybe a couple hours to a half dat wear out of this on my fingers. On my toes I get roughly 4-10 days. With my favorite system, I can get 2 weeks. Would I buy this again? Yeah, but not for wear time. Simply because it is better for me, shiny enough, and dries fairly quickly.
