Good top coat…I never ever imagined I would like matte nails. I decided on a whim to give them a try. I attached two photos for comparison. I had a very glossy, high shine topcoat on my Peacci Kitten polish for a few days while I was waiting for the matte to arrive. I just opened it a few minutes ago and put it on my nails and I cannot believe how fast it took down the high shine and turned into a mellow creamy matte. The difference is remarkable. I always thought I loved glossy nails. I now realize what I was missing. It's very sophisticated looking on the white polish. I can't wait to paint some dark nail samples to try it. I imagine it's going to look great on those too. It's a nice change from high shine all the time. I seriously cannot believe how much I love the matte look. I highly recommend it, especially if you are looking for a nice change. For extra durability, use a good topcoat first (it can be high gloss it doesn't matter) and then when it's dry, use a coat of the matte topcoat. It instantly removes the glossy shine. And here's the really magical part: it instantly removed any traces of uneven polishing on spots where I had obviously gone heavier than in other spots.Wow, this product has literally won me over for life. Short version of this review: long-lasting, bubble-free manicures. Buy. You won't regret.Long version: So, I am a nails enthusiast. I have a lot (and I mean a LOT) of nail polishes and I do my nails each week. I've previously used Seche Vite which is pretty good, but I HATED the shrinkage that would occur. Nothing more depressing than spending all this time painting your nails nicely and then having the top coat make the polish creep up from the bottom edge. Extremely annoying! I've also used opi, essie, and most recently Sally Hansen. I'd pretty much accepted that bubbles were a fact of life even though I hate them with a passion. Recently though, I was getting down to the bottom of my Sally Hansen top coat and I realized my polish was only lasting 3 MAYBE 4 days. Way too short!!! I am dedicated to doing my nails, but I don't have time to do them twice a week. I wanted something more long-lasting, so I did a quick internet search and came across kur. I was a bit skeptical as there weren't a lot of reviews, but I took a chance and I'm so glad I did! The topcoat went on smooth as butter with nary a bubble in sight! It's also been a full week, and I have only the barest chipping at the very edges of my nails. It's not even noticeable unless you are looking for it. This has completely persuaded me that a high quality topcoat is what makes the difference, and I'll be repurchasing forever.One slight minimal for some (not for me, but figured I should include it)-- it doesn't give the same sort of "plump" gel-like topcoat you sometimes encounter. Me, I'll take a topcoat that lasts and lasts over a cushiony one any day, but if that's the look you like, just be aware. This polish gives a really lovely, shiny, hard satiny finish that is somewhat thin.This is one I the best top coats I own. I use this not only with Londontown nail polish, but with other indi brands as well.This top coat works better than anything I’ve ever used in past , I am in love with this brand? Love this brand! I'm a loyal ? to a company with Nordstrom's customer service.?♀️ Anything from Londontown, magnificent!?My only issues, gets gloppy half way through bottle, even when I really tighten the top after each use. I wish they made a product/drops, to mix in which would change the viscosity so the polish would glide on my nails. Because the are a 10-free company, when buying know I may only get half a bottles use for the price and throw out the rest. It's taken me so long to find a vegan polish that I'm happy with, I go with it.?The nail strengthened product is great. However, the top coat is very thick and once dry, it peeled off. Too much trouble.Lasts almost a week without chipping, and I don’t baby my nails.I was not at all happy with this product and will not buy again. It is very expensive and did not last more than 2 days, I could basically scratch the polish off very easily. Will not buy it again.The top coat dries fast after applying and that’s why I like it. But the whole bottle does intend to dry out fast. Still worth buying though .I've only used it a couple of times, but seems to be a quality clear coat.Vraiment de mauvaise qualité, trop chèreI’ve had a solid home mani for 7 days using this product. For me, that’s great!
