essie Vegan Clear Top Coat, No Chips Ahead, 0.46 fl oz Bottle

First time trying the drops - huge fan, highly recommend! For me to leave a review, that means the product genuinely blew me away. I usually use the essence nail spray and wanted to try these drops as I couldn't understand how this could possibly work and while I love the essence spray, I think I might love this even more... I should say I get my nails done every 3 weeks so I'm not using this for your usual at-home manicures, but I might add on a little decoration at home which I then seal with a top coat & also apply the top coat to the rest of my nails, or I might do another top coat if I feel like I need more shine. All this to say, I am starting with very dry nails. I have also used these drops on my toes, which I do myself - from scratch - and it worked just as well. But toenails are easier to leave to dry because we're not using them to do anything after they're painted so they can be left alone. I don't recommend the application method on the box/bottle - do not apply after every layer. Apply your base coat, nail polish coats, top coat and leave them for about a minute to 'dry' in between layers and then apply this at the end. I applied as a cuticle oil and positioned my nails so gravity can pull the oil down onto my nails, and also applied it as a cuticle oil and a few drops on one of my nails to see if it made a difference - made no difference, both methods still dried my nails so quickly! I checked ~1-5 mins after application as I was nervous but had to see if it worked and my nails were DRY. Not tacky whatsoever, completely smooth. I also love the shine it gives my nails after application, makes me feel salon-fresh!
