I have owned a lot of nailpolish in just my 19 years, and this is by far the best clear coat I have ever tried. It's usually $4-$5, so it's pretty economical. Surface dries in a flash, has long-LASTING high-GLOSS shine!! I use it over every manicure. Heard about it from a friend, was instantly hooked, and have since turned several other pals on to it. You won't be disappointed!! (I just wish they made colours in the same formula!)
