OPINail Lacquer Top Coat | Clear Nail Polish Top Coats | Classic, Quick Drying, High Shine, Gel-like Volumizing, & Matte Finish | Chip Resistant, High-Gloss, Long Lasting, Protects Color & Nails

I have been searching high and low for years for the best “gel look” top coat. I’ve been continually disappointed by every single one. Until this magic right here.It is THICK which is, for this purpose, a good thing. A thin top coat will never give that plump, gel polish look. This delivers. The dry time is for sure longer, but that is a non-issue since it actually gives the look I’m going for.The single drawback is it can cause more shrinkage than a typical top coat, so it’s super important to let all coats dry well before apply another.The picture I attached doesn’t do it justice, honestly. It helped my mani last over a week with zero chips, and an additional week with minor chipping on the edges.In all, a great product that actually does what it claims.

Been using this for the past month and love it! No streaking, durable and gives that gel look. Ive been recovering my nails post a gel allergy/dmg from using a nail drill and this stuff looks nice and stays looking nice for about a week and a half (i wash my hands alot). Ive found that it works really well for soap nails or for encapsulating nail stickers and dried flowers. (I do two coats over flowers and stickers for extra durability)

As advertised, this top coat really did dry very quickly. Since it was on top of two color coats, I was still pretty careful nothing got pushed around. Ultimately it did dry the whole nail much quicker than usual. I will buy another when this one runs out.

This top coat is the bomb! I put it on my painted nails and I have no chips or peeling for up to 5+ days. It is easily removed with acetone nail polish remover. I’m amazed by this product. I’ve been telling friends about it!

It gives a lot of sheen but takes a long to dry, and the nail polish still chips.

A friend of mine got me into nail polish about 6 months ago, and I've spent the time since then trying to find the ultimate combination of techniques and brands to give myself a long-lasting manicure. When left to their own devices my nails are thin and tend to rip and peel. Over time I've managed to prevent my polish from popping off in a single sheet on day 2 - but it still rarely lasts longer than 36 hours without chipping or lifting, and I'm usually redoing half (or all) of my nails by day 3 or 4.With that context, let me say that this top coat is a total game changer! It will give a plumping effect after a single coat, but two coats is pure magic: my manicure was perfect for three full days, and the chips I got on day 4 were tiny - barely noticeable, as opposed to what I normally experience. AND, if you want to get ahead of that by putting another coat of top coat on midweek, this polish plays nicely and will let you do that, which my previous frontrunner did not. (No shrinkage!) Oh, and of course it is quick dry, which is a bare minimum requirement for me.I'm still looking for my Holy Grail base coat, but in the meantime going from a decimated mani on day 3 to one that I replace after day 6 or 7 is nothing to sneeze at![For those wondering about my method: I prep with OPI Repair Mode strengthening serum (two coats, as directed) and rubbing alcohol, then use base coat, two coats of color and two coats of this top coat. I wrap my tips on every coat, and use a cleanup brush and polish remover as I go to keep the polish away from my skin. The coats are fairly thin, and I wait 2-3 minutes between coats to give them a chance to dry. I do my nails in the evening before bed, so that I know I won't expose them to any water in the next 8-12 hours while the polish cures. During the week I use gloves when I wash dishes and cuticle oil after washing my hands, but otherwise haven't made any major lifestyle changes in my quest for pretty nails lol.

Good

Love the gloss and the thickness. I’ve tried many top coats, but none come as close to the forgiving and smooth finish that this gives for someone like me doing my own nails.I use in combination with OPI nail strengthener for base coat and zoya nail colors.The brush is my least favorite thing about the product because it it’s a little too thick for fine work on some tough corners. The product comes on with obvious brush lines, but levels off with time, thankfully, to leave a very smooth professional looking top coat.Dries in a few minutes, lasts about a week on hands that do dishes every other night, and also comes off quite easily with drug store polish remover.
