Bourjois Mega Top Coat, 13 Oct. 2016

I pretty much always have self-manicured nails, which I tend to re-do when they chip, so, every 4-6 days or so. There are a great number of gel products on the market which promise to replicate the gel/shellac nails at home as opposed to paying out ££ in a salon.This particular product, from cosmetics giant Bourjois, promises a gel finish to one's home manicure. It also purports to be fast-drying, which is an absolute bonus for me, as I'm always smudging my colour. It's beautifully shiny and coats well. I've had it on for the past two days and I haven't had any major chipping incidents as yet.The price point is pretty standard. As with anything, I'll update my review in due course.

Its ok., 7 Nov. 2016

I wasn't sure at first if this was an top coat with a gel finish, or a gel top coat needing UV setting. There is no explanation on the label. (And I have made the mistake before of applying a gel polish and not understanding why it didn't dry, not realising I needed a UV lamp to set it!).However, a little testing proved that this is a regular top coat, with a gel finish. It is glossy, but it takes a little while to dry.I haven't noticed any difference in the longevity of my nail colour though - so I'd say it simply is a glossy finish top coat. Its ok, but nothing that a good polish has already.

Good quality high gloss nail gel top coat that looks good and improves the longevity of the nail polish underneath., 9 Nov. 2016

I am quite impressed with this Nail Gel Top Coat from Bourjois … it is reasonably priced, goes on smoothly without bleeding onto the skin around the nails, it is non gloopy and dries in about 3 minutes. The bottle is well balanced and stands securely on a flat surface, the brush is of a decent width … two brush strokes covered my nail.I love the effect of this gel gloss top coat, it has a wet look shine and it also increases longevity of the nail polish colour underneath … my home manicure lasted around four days instead of the normal two.I will definitely be purchasing more when this bottle runs out.
