    Default The best top-coat for nails EVER!

    N.Y.C. Extra Shiny Top Coat... It dries insanely fast, and stays super shiny. Oh, and it's really cheap too. I'm thrilled by this because anyone who gets acrylics knows how hard it can be to keep them looking fresh and shiny in between fills. Even the Chanel top coat I tried out for $22 was a failure. (yes, I returned that crap)

    Be sure to post again in a few days and let us know if it yellows! That's the problem I've been running into with topcoats

    My nails always stay shiny between fills.. but they get dented somehow instead. pfft.... I wonder if I can fill the dents with the topcoat.

    I hate NYC. The stuff peels off my nails in a matter of hours. I love Love My Nails, though!

    Miss Jessica why don't you try gel nails? When I used to get my nails done they stayed shiny and didn't get scratched as bad as acrylics did. The extra $5 for a gel top coat they put on was so worth it. You won't need a top coat if you get gels.

    I don't do it now b/c I don't find pleasure in going in to get my nails done anymore...all about the feet now.

    The gel top always lasted a good day for me before it looked exactly like acrylics...

    I like the sally hansen diamond one. It's in that really shiny chrome looking bottle. I think It's diamond shine. Or some name like that, By far the best I've tried (but I have natural nails, don't know how it would be on artificials)

    ^^I haven't used NYC, but I love Seche Vite. My grandma (beautiful natural nails) has used it ever since I can remember. That and OPI Nail Envy.

    Thanks for the tip! I usually use two different topcoats from OPI, but the do take some time to properly dry.

    Just popping back in to say it didn't yellow--BUT; I put a sunscreen/anti-yellowing polish on my nails EVERY time because I tan; and that's what always turns them yellow for me. I got a really good one that is close to OPI quality at Sally's. A downside/upside: this is the product that makes your nails glow in the dark. I like it because I wear my nails natural/french; and then when I go to work and run my hands down my body; the custie's eyes follow my hands...very seductive. But some girls don't like that effect.

    just my 2 cents but I love this stuff called "Hoof Laquer" that I picked up at the beauty supply store for about $5.00...... keeps polish shiny for days and really helps strengthen the nails..

    Hands down, OPI quick dry top coat. I have natural nails so my nail polish always ends up peeling off within days. OPI last me about one week without touch ups. Sometimes it will last longer. I also use it on my french pedicured toes, to keep them from chipping due to my stage performances. It's the only top coat that keeps my toes from chipping. The only downfall of it is, that after about half the bottle gets used up the rest gets all thick and gunky and I end up having to throw it away. I still love it though!!!
