Will get again
I'm so glad I bought this. It was an impulse buy but my nails have been the in the best condition they've ever been since I started using it. I typically have this, brittle nails. I've been able to grow them out and they're not breaking for once!

Great for longevity! Not the glossiest :)
This top/bottom coat was a godsend. It helped make my nail polish last up to ~9 days when paired with the Seche Vite speed dry top coat. I didn’t start chipping till day 7, and I use my hands a lot. This essie all in one is not the glossiest but really helps with longevity. I use it on the bottom, put on 2-3 coats of a polish of choice, then once those are dry top it with the Essie again, and then finally the seche vite. Highly recommend!

Would Not Use
As other reviews have stated, this top coat does not dry. I have tried applying 3+ hours before bed and walk up with finger prints and other marks.

Peels Off
I used this as a base coat and then used colored polish over top of it. Within a day, my entire nail polish was peeling off. Thank you, target for allowing me to return this for a refund!

Great as long as you don't sleep with it on
This does not work very well as a top coat since it cannot hold up through a night of sleep. Despite using a curing lamp, which is not even required for this, and nearly 12 hours of wear before going to bed, I woke up with nails that had imprints from my blanket on them and other smudge marks. I only applied a single coat of nail polish that was barely enough for the color to be opaque and that was the same brand, so there’s simply zero reason why this should’ve been the case.

Doesn't dry
This product doesn’t dry well. Using it as a base and top coat, that means you get a messy, sticky finish and your manicure looks terrible. Hard pass.

Worst top coat ever.
Awful top coat. Never dries. Leaves sheet marks when you go to sleep and messes the polish all up.

Works well
Works well as a base & top coat. Took forever to dry though and the price seems high.

Does the job
I like that this is a base and top coat in one, easier to keep track of. Goes on smoothly and dries well. I do prefer the finish of the gel top coat better, and also seems to prevent chips better.

Not great
This doesn’t work well as a top coat. It doesn’t protect the polish very well and is still soft & pliable hours after application.

Hi there Lunch Bringer, we want to understand what happened just as much as you do! Even after a base coat, 2 coats of color and this top coat, your manicure should not take more than 15 minutes to dry to the touch.

Gel but not gel?! Yes please
This all in 1 top&bottom polish is amazing! My nail polish stayed on 2 weeks!!! With only some wear on the tips but no chipping! It didn’t even peel, i took it off because one of my nails broke if not i could have gone longer than 2 weeks! I’ve only used it with essie nail polish so that might be helping it stay on longer

Skip this one
Please read the reviews before buying!! Okay base coat but like the other reviews mentioned - do not use as a top coat. I made sure my polish was dry before applying but as soon as I did, the polish turned into a gel. I was able to peel it off.

Hi Dina! We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. All-in-one is a base coat and top coat in one that helps strengthen while leaving nails with a smoother, glossy finish. It should dry to a hard smooth finish. 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
