MakarttHard Gel Top Coat: 3-in-1 Nail Polish Soak-off UV Gel Glossy Finish Long Lasting for Nail Strengthen Nail Charms Rhinestone for Home Salon Manicure Use

I use this polish only as a base coat. The polish is nice and thick and goes on smoothly and evenly. It cures to a nice shine which would make it an excellent top coat as well (which I haven't tried yet). It cures in 60 seconds, ready for applying color. It is also easy to remove. I use a brush on gel remover which works well in removing this base coat! Overall, this is an excellent product! Note that I don't use charms on my nails so I cannot attest to the effectiveness of using this product as a glue.

Yay! Love this base coat. It really does make a difference from those no name base coats I’ve used. It is an absolute upgrade.I like it a lot. I also used this to glue on charms and clear tips! Let me say this again, CLEAR tips. Opaque and ones that already have designs or charms on them risk the chance of the gel underneath to not be fully cured which can lead to disasters and mold brewing. Don’t do that, I use this for clear tips and make my designs after. Works so nice!

I'm really loving this base coat, it's definitely and upgrade from the ones I've been using. It applies so nicely, a perfectly even layer without too much thickness so that it cures/dries well in my UV lamp. All of my colored gels go on well over it. And I feel like it has helped to increase the longevity of my manicures! You get a generous size bottle, making it a fantastic value!

This is a great base coat. It’s very shiny. It is in a good sized bottle so you get a lot! The only thing I didn’t like is it seems like it takes a long time to dry under the UV light.

At first, I thought it wouldn't work out well because of its thickness, but it self-levels perfectly. I only used it as a topcoat, and it's far superior to the other top coats I have, and it makes my press on nails stronger. The only issue is that the pot is small for the price.

This basecoat worked great for doing my DIY gel nails. It cured easily and is easy to apply. The bottle is a generous size too. One of my new favorite gel base coats. Highly recommend.

so, I love that this base coat is also a glue for charms and stickers works well and last till you get your nails done again

The idea of a glue /top coat in one is great . And it does actually do both. I tested it on the practice nail in the photo . I used it as a top coat and it left a very shiny wet look to the nail after curing. I also used it as a glue and attached rhinestones. My issue was its messy to work with especially as a glue . I have nail brushes and even though it can be applied that way it left the brush messed up and i couldn't get a percise amount on. It basically was a clump i had to brush again before applying the rhinestones. I really like the shine it left tho and a little goes a very long way .
