I prefer the gel setter top coat from Essie, but this one is still a nice top coat. It dries a bit faster but it's not as thick so my nails started chipping faster. If you prefer a thin top coat this is definitely a better bet

I love Essie nail polish, both the regular formula and Gel Couture. I have always used SV fast dry top coat with all my polishes, but decided to stray and try Good to Go. Nope. It didn't dry and I could tell it wasn't going to dry any time soon. I immediately went for the remover and took it all off. I added it to my box of Misfit Polishes. :-(

Love a nice clear clean nail look, but every clear polish/top coat I’ve purchased starts to peel the same day. So glad I gave this a try. I’m on day 3 and my nails look so good. No peeling at all

This brand has really gone downhill. Super disappointed in the quality of this. Nails chip within hours of drying (with Essie nail polish underneath as well).
1 reply from Essie Team team - 1 year ago
Hi there Mslea, We can see this wouldn’t be the result you were hoping for…and we want to understand what happened just as much as you do. The Good To Go top coat should go on as a thin, clear coat that provides nails with a protective, high gloss, brilliant finish that dries quickly. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

This is my go-to top coat!! the surface dries very quickly, and is the only top coat i’ve found to dry entirely without getting any wrinkles, chips, smudges. previous coats i’ve used will wrinkle even two days later, this one completely dries within 30 minutes!! the glossy shine makes my nails so beautiful and complete. definitely the best top coat around

I found that this top coat didn’t protect my nails from chipping. It also took forever to dry. I switched over to the Essie Gel-setter top coat- this one works SO much better. I’m an avid Essie lover so I’m glad I found a replacement.

I absolutely love this stuff! Not only does it dry your nail polish quickly, it helpes to cover any imperfections in the polish and provides excellent shine. I have had only positive experiences with this top coat. If you're on the fence based on the other more negative reviews, I say give it a chance for yourself!
Speeds it up!

This is a great product! It speeds up the process and is still a solid top coat. Give your nails a minute or two to dry, then apply!

I have tried SO MANY top coats and this is definitely in my top 5. Makes even a cheap nail polish look like a smooth, professional manicure. Doesn’t have that cracked look that some top coat have after a few days. Wears well. I do paint my nails every 5 days or so, so I don’t know about long term use!
Way too thick & stringy

Court - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
This was so thick it was like the consistency of honey. It left little strings of polish everywhere. I can’t even get it to spread over my entire nail bed. I’m so confused.

Hi there Court, We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. Nothing sounds right about your bottle of the Good to Go Top Coat. This top coat should flow easily onto the nail, dry quickly with loads of shine.

For someone that's really impatient and clumsy (like me) or someone who repaints every few days this is great, except it definitely discolors and turns yellow quickly. I painted my nails Saturday, it's Tuesday and it's turning. It seems like it's just from light wear, I haven't used harsh products with them and don't smoke. Not a big deal since I change color so regularly, but still frustrating.

Topcoat works perfect. Remember you need to prep your nails before any basecoat or anything else. Lots of bad reviews, in my opinion those people don’t know what to do. With proper preparation, proper base coat application and proper color application; this topcoat lasts and doesn’t shrink the color underneath. Also, in my opinion, proper timing between coats is very important. Don’t rush it!
Great for nails at home

I love essie. Well, most of the time. The essie good to go top coat is terrible. It applies really well and is super shiny, but it barely lasts a day before it begins peeling. I've tried it on top of color and on a bare nail and it fails for both applications. I've had better success with Sally Hansen, and it's way cheaper.

Hi RaeRoy! Thanks for reaching out to us regarding Essie Good To Go Top Coat. We can understand how frustrating it is to use a product and not be satisfied. So sorry to hear that the polish is peeling. We value consumer opinions and will share your comments with our teams.
