Review: Works well - Never disappoints. I use this top coat over all my different polish brands to extend the life of my manicure. The top coat lets the color of your polish shine through. my tips: I have one bottle for top coating over dark colors and one for light colors just to make sure there is true color through the top coat. Remember to wear gloves when you do the dishes, even this hard working top coat is no match for a night's worth of pots and pans.
Review: "your nails but better" in a bottle - what a LOVELY nail polish. I've been looking for a sheer pink gloss for a while ("Nail Glow" from a brand I shall not mention felt too pricey for me for a basic polish) and I've certainly found a winner. essie's Glow and Shine goes on smooth, dries fast (a HUGE problem for me—I always mess up my nails before they dry), and is overall a lovely shade of maybe-she's-born-with-it pink. the pink is buildable, which I find great. you can apply one, two, or more layers depending on whether you want a mere concealer look, a noticeable pink glow, or a semi-sheer pink. I did two coats, as shown in the attached video and photos. as for nail strengthening, I ~think~ it would make a difference with continuous use. I haven't had it long enough to say, but I have noticed that my nails FEEL much stronger that they do without it. the only complaint I have is that it chips around the edges if you use your hands often—for example, if you're like me, with frequent typing. that being said, a quick touch-up is no problem to me, especially because of how fast it dries. that being said, LOVE it. will be keeping this stocked from now on.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does someone have feedback on how to remove this kind of manicure?**
A: Essie Gel-setter comes off just like normal nail polish would with nail polish remover. If you have a salon gel mani then you should go to the salon to have it removed. There are at home tricks but you need to be careful not to mess up your nails

**Q: Can you use it over a french manicure? Will it prevent yellowing?**
A: Yes, you most definitely use it over any color.  I have used it over french manicures, reds, neutrals, etc. and I've never experienced any yellowing with my nail color.  One thing I can say, is it definitely works better with other Essie nail polishes...absolutely no chipping!  However, it still prevents major chipping with other brands and prolongs the nail color.

**Q: I prefer clear polish. Can this be used by itself or with only a base coat?**
A: I do not see why you could not use it by itself.  I do on occasion just use a base coat and then top with the gel setter, mainly because I have a base coat that I like so I do not polish my nails without it.

**Q: Is this polish easily removed with regular polish remover?**
A: Yes it removes easily with regular nail polish remover.
