So awesome!
-05.21.13
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying, chip resistent
I got the black and white topper. My goodness it's awesome! I like the versatility of it. It completely changes any polish I have. It really works well with bright colors. I love it on top of a bright red polish. It looks like a party on my nails!
As a top coat, I'm quite satisfied with it. The black and white pieces will fall out without an additional layer of top coat on it, which is understandable. It's long-lasting, so it doesn't chip and doesn't make my nail super hard. I hate that. Nails should be pliable, so they won't shatter when you accidentally bang them on something.

Review 2 for The Toppers
Chaotic
-05.13.13
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying, gorg
I am SO glad I ordered this when I did. I waited two and a half months for it to come in stock again, I snapped it up on the 10th, and it was sold out entirely by the 12th. So if you want this one, ladies, sign up to get an email alert and get it FAST.
I have a serious obsession with black and white glitter, and while this one isn't as chunky as some indies, it's definitely a great mainstream black and white. Goes on so smooth and looks STUNNING. I wore it over a bright green Julep shade and dang. Super glad this is in my black and white collection!

Review 3 for The Toppers
Psycho
-04.26.13
Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing, unique
Just got my first Sephora X purchase, a topper called Psycho. The description on the site says "illusionary soft silver chunky glitter" and I feel that is more trustworthy than my own eyes because that is how it mostly appears on the nails.
In the bottle the glitter looks like iridescent tinsel cut up and suspended in nail varnish but on the nails, the glitter makes it seem like a mirror was shattered on your nails. I feel the effect is pretty unique since most glitters are uniform circles or hexagons and this really has no rhyme or reason to it.
Unfortunately, the looks comes with some trade offs. One is that I did not find this polish fast drying at all. Thank goodness I had a lot to type or the wait might have driven me to insanity. Another thing that was greatly expected, was that the chunky glitter is far from flat on the nails meaning several topcoats are needed to avoid this polish from snagging on well... everything. I am on my fourth topcoat and and they still are not completely smooth though they do look like gel and are sealed in safely.
Over all. I really like this 'topcoat' though I would never use it without a topcoat to seal it in. These should be renamed illusionists all the way through and drop the top coat act.

Review 4 for The Toppers
Chaotic is awesome!
-03.23.13
Quick Take: different, cool
I bought Chaotic a while back and just tried it for the first time. I am so glad I bought it! To me, it kind of looks like black and white splatter paint on my nails... So different from other top coats! I did a bright fushia for a base and it really stood out! I would definitely suggest this product to anyone!

Take the Jackson Pollock approach to your nails!

Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing
... and get some salon quality acetone to remove this stuff because it sticks like glue!

If you never tried Sephora nail polish I suggest you do. This is the polish for the on the go Woman. It stays put though dish washing, computer, phone and tablet typing. Everything , I even just left it on my nails once just to see how long it would last before I had to do my nails over and I hit a month with out not even rub off on any of my nails.

Awesome Black & White Topcoat!
-02.25.13
Quick Take: fast-drying
I bought Chaotic Topcoat a couple days ago and am lucky to get my hands on it! It was out of stock online and when I went back for more polished today it was sold out in the store. Anyhow, this top coat is nothing short of gorgeous, and so versatile because you can wear it over any color you desire. It dries fast, goes on easy and hoping it lasts as long on me as it does on other people. If you're looking for a cool nail polish effect, look no further than Chaotic! (In photo I used Chaotic over Sephora X The New Neutrals-Huggable)

Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing
LOVE this nail polish!! Looks like spray paint on my nails and it goes great with super bright nail polish as a base! I cashier, so i'm constantly handling money and typing and this stuff stays on pretty good. People always ask if I got my nails done to get the effect and they are always surprised when I tell them its a nail polish similar to glitter! Highly recommend it!!

Chaotic = Love @ First Sight!
-02.06.13
Quick Take: fast-drying, forgiving, special
This top-coat is genius. There is a huge variety of shapes and sizes of the black and white pieces - this leaves your nails looking like baby Jackson Pollock paintings. Gorgeous over pastels, nudes AND bold colours. This is a complete slam dunk from Sephora; kudos! Would re-purchase and have already recommended like crazy!

Looks stunning on any nail color! I can't wait to purchase it as it is out in all stores and online. I tried it at a store and love it! Does not chip (have it on for 4 days now).

Psycho topper
-02.04.13
I love the look of this topper, it is excellent over a clear coat, dark or light colors. Takes a little more effort to remove but worth the look.

Review 16 for The Toppers
Chaotic is amazing!!
-02.04.13
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying, chip resistent
I went to the store to see Sephora's new line of polish. Overall, I wasn't impressed. But when I saw Chaotic I knew I needed it. It was sold out, so I ordered it online with my Oz pallets, and I am so glad I did. Right now I'm wearing it over Butter London's Yummy Mummy and my nails look like a Jackson Pollock. It dries so fast, hasn't chipped at all after 4 days, and still looks amazing. Also nice to know: your manicure doesn't need to be perfect with this polish. It covers up any mistakes.

It's Chaotic!
-02.02.13
Quick Take: fast-drying, fun
The reviews I read raved about Chaotic, so I ordered it and wow, it's amazing! It makes your nails look like they were splattered with black and white paint. It also has pieces of black confetti in it, all in a clear base. Love it! I would still recommend wearing a topcoat because of the texture.

Addicted to chaotic
-01.28.13
Quick Take: the best color i've seen
Can't get enough. I even bought nail dryers and shapers to do my own manicure. I love saving $$ and this makes your nail look like you got it done at a nail place. It's different and perfect. I even gave my sister and mom a manicure and even they love it. I used different colors for them.
