Big Top post or review all my top coating - review
Hello)
I'm often asked what the top coating is best, and whether you need it at all. So in this post I will try to tell about all the pros and cons of available in my Arsenal of tops, dryers and hardeners...
The idea of this post I cherished for a long time. I wanted to write about their favorite tops at a time when there were only three. Now of those three there is not one (was maybe not so favorite). They replaced those 11 bottles, which I will discuss further.
So what is top and what we primarily want?
This is the top, the final coating for nail Polish. Most often transparent (if not to take into account the decorative tops with sequins etc. their I in his post yet did not take). Empirically, I found that for each type of manicure you want your own top-some just well dry the varnish, some add Shine, some do not lubricate the stamping-designs and sliders, and some just fix the cover and not give it away... Complicated, isn't it? I really want all of this combines just one bottle (and I seem to be found *Ho-Ho*), but all in order.
Below the text was not very much, I decided to streamline the description, reducing it to a few of the most important points:
1. Brush
2. Finish
3. Speed drying
4. Work with design
5. Resistance

Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat
Of course, it doesn't really fit in the overall picture of the tops, as this is the only matte top in my collection. But, nevertheless, he is also top :)
Pleasant square frosted bottle unusual volume of 11.8 ml. the Back is glued brief instruction and composition:
1. Brush — Transparent, elastic, with a smooth cut. Due to the small cap that is very comfortable in the hand while painting.
2. Finish — matte (expected). Strips when dry leaves and gives a nice smooth velvety finish.
3. The speed of drying of the lacquer it will not speed up completely, even a little slow. If applied to non-dried pre-Polish, there is a chance and after 20 minutes all the grease. Subject to the application to fully dry nail Polish dries in 7-10 minutes.
4. In principle, with designs friends, if they are well dried. Even most of the sliders I've tried, not oil. Very nice designs with screen printing and stamping, and softens the transitions in the gradient manicure.
5. The durability of the manicure does not extend, and sometimes even shortens. But considering its decorative purpose, it is not critical. A couple of days with a perfect matte finish can be done.
6. Overall, I am completely satisfied. Spent already a third of the bottle. I liked the combination with the sliders with the black background. The nails turn out like velvet.
The cost is about 450 rubles. Rating is a solid 5.
Nfu.Oh Ultra Shine Top Coat
I must say that the main advantage of this top — bottle! Well, because beautiful as)
1. Brush a thin, round, elastic:
2. The finish is glossy, but without the special abilities to the alignment of the previous layers.
3. Speed drying — when applied to the already long dried manicure with the goal of "refreshment" — 10-15 minutes. When applied to wet nail Polish — forever + morning traces from the pillow: P
4. Work with designs. Here pleased. Do not lubricate the sliders with stamping friends. But when he wants to apply another layer of top-drying to speed drying.
5. Durability — records beats, but breaks off on the second day.
6. Impressions. Nice transparent Polish in a cute bottle. Like for reverse stamping on the Mat when you need a top to fill a large surface, and can then go for a walk while it dries, and when he returned, ready to tear lacquer "sticker" and do with it what you want.
Price — 300 rubles, Assessment — 4 — Eva Mosaic Glass Shine Mirror Shine (drying-fixer)
As you can see from the photo, I've managed to get a second bottle.
The composition on the back of the bottle:
1. Brush sufficiently rigid, flat, rounded (though not exactly direct, but the color is convenient, allows you to get closer to the cuticle):
2. Finish — glossy, well-defined. Good self-leveling.
3. Speed drying — not immediately, of course, but the standard for me. (base+2-3 coats of varnish) dries in 10-15 minutes completely to the concrete state.
4. Work with designs. Here is ambiguous. The first few Potresov she is terribly thin no matter how thick a layer. The brush is a furrow in the nail "creates a re-usable". I even throw this drying wanted, didn't understand why all that praise, but after the third painting she suddenly came round and began to work well. Stencil designs establishes good stamping can lubricate sometimes, with the sliders is better not to use (but it is still drying, so to place special hopes on the completion of designs not necessary)
5. Durability — here is really pleased. Fixed the dryer nail Polish lasts an average of a day longer (to be clear, I'm more than a lucky day rarely delayed at all, and then straight on another one to renew!)
6. Experience a + rating. — Its job (starting with the third color) perfectly. Budget. Has excellent gloss and prolongs the life of manicure.
Price — 213 roubles. Rating is 5.
I liked Lux UV Gel Top Coat
This is the second stage of the "gel" manicure of Diva promising supergenes and superticket like a gel Polish, without the UV lamp. The lacquer is in brilliant opaque bottle, as it tends to congeal in contact with sunlight.
Bought for reviews specifically for the slider designs for a miracle didn't count, it never happened...
The composition for those interested:
1. The brush is the usual, flat with smooth cut, moderately soft:
2. Finish — well-defined glossy. Good samorazrushatsya.
3. Drying rate — the average, I would say. 2-3 coats of varnish will dry in 20 minutes completely. In the morning from the pillow traces will not be.
4. Work with designs. Here was a bummer. Sliders, for which you purchased this top, it is still blurred. The stamping is also not always stays in place. Stencil design well aligns and makes them glossy, but on the condition that they are already pre-dried.
5. Durability. I would not say that the strength of my coating with this top was very different. Yes, chips do not appear on the same day. But with the active work around the house, the next day can wait.
6. Experience a + rating. Top good as normal drying-fixer. But in the case of designs or if you want to get a manicure in field conditions and dry in minutes, it is best to choose something else.

Milv UV Quick Dry Top Coat
Another friend in an opaque bottle. Around the mid begins to dry and reach for a brush lacquer "hair". You have to dilute. Bought for the same sliders. With them works great!
1. Brush is quite ordinary. A slightly elongated flat blade with a smooth cut:
2. The finish is well polished. Samorazrushatsya "excellent".
3. Speed drying. Can dry several layers of varnish for 10-15 minutes.
4. Work with designs. Very good with native sliders, but, others can lubricate. Well suited for stamping and stencil manicure.
5. Durable manicure is able to extend, but miracles from him should not wait.
6. Experience a + rating. Good middling. If it had not thickened as much with the middle of the bottle, it would be a contender for the double. But, alas. I'll keep looking.

Brigitte Bottier Professional Nails 3D Lens Top Coat
This top is one of my latest acquisitions. Also took for reviews in the hope that it will not lubricate the sliders...
Ingredients are listed on the lid of the bottle:
1. Brush like collected of the two. Just a huge, rounded. The fact was more of my nails and constantly flooded with top all around. While I'm not used to it...
2. The finish is a medium gloss. Maybe this is just the beginning, but the top is quite thin, so the layer obtained is very thin and I want for additional alignment of the cover to add another.
3. Speed drying — 2-3 layers on average for 15 minutes. During this time, the lacquer dries to a state that allows you to do simple household chores, but grooves still put on nail Polish quite easily.
4. Work with designs — well, stamping this top was good, but with most sliders again by. Yes, some oils, but can start to pull it from the cuticle or bubble...
5. Durable manicure especially do not extend. The chips can appear quickly.
6. Experience a + rating. Due to its huge brush strange experience was certainly spoiled. But maybe when he is a little pozalusta to cope with them will be a little easier.

ArtDeco Ultra Quick Dry Top Coat
Another of my recent acquisitions. Lucky Artdeko I love them for their cool single layer brush and cream shades, but the top took even more for collection, as the ideal already by the time was found (about it later)
1. The brush is my favourite flat "blade" with a rounded cut:
2. Finish. Again, this top is too thin, so one layer does not give a sufficient gloss. And the first few times the brush leaves striations in the coating, if applied to fresh paint.
3. The rate of drying is also not entirely unambiguous. When applied to a little dried varnish, he grasped quickly, but when I try to immediately cover the raw top manicure may seem dry, but keep the inner layers are soft.
4. Work with designs. With the sliders, definitely not friendly. The stamping can be covered only if it is already well dried up, similarly, with stencil designs.
5. Durability — there was a pleasant surprise. For 2 day trips and outdoor activities do not add any cleavage.
6. Experience a + rating. A good option if you don't need to rush anywhere and have the ability to first dry the varnish and then apply top. I think when a little pozalusta will become more flexible.

Konad Top Coat
Top, designed for stamping and purchased again for the sliders.
1. The brush is long and slender, with smooth cut:
2. Finish. My copy somehow sooo thin, so the layers are super thin and not glossy. + I have it through again puzyrit!
3. The rate of drying is not very big. It's not drying, namely a fixative stamping. If not enough to cover the dried layer of varnish, can be traces from the pillow in the morning.
4. Work with designs. For stamping it is really a perfect top. Nothing lubricates, all good fixes. But on the sliders, though not the oil (finally!), but always puzyrit, and so that pictures like "boil" and burst with bubbles under it.
5. Durability special from it should not wait, it depends on the varnish-basis. But much fortitude was not declared by the manufacturer.
6. Experience a + rating. Great top for stamping. With its purpose to cope, but not out beyond.

Glisten & Glow HK Girl Fast Drying & Super Shiny Clear Top Coat
This top was bought as drying. Saw a review on the. and then when he caught the eye took without hesitation.
1. Brush for me was not very comfortable, because it is thin and round-cut (I used to distribute top of the nail in 2-3 stroke and then need more):
2. The excellent glossy finish. Samorazrushatsya well. From the first dye does not leave furrows from a brush.
3. The rate of drying is also pleased. 5 layers of varnish to dry top, of course, not under force, but with three copes, for 5-7 minutes.
4. Work with designs. For screen designs fit perfectly, as it can dry base coat fast enough. The stamping is not oil, but the sliders are better than just using peel off base (a little life-hack for those who read — any, even the most capricious to the tops of the sliders it is possible to cover the top layer of peel off base and then layer all your favourite top — then the picture will remain clear and sealed under the gloss), then gives a nice gloss and consolidates the result.
5. Durable manicure can extend for a few days.
6. Experience a + rating. Great drying. If it were cheaper and more readily available, it could claim the role musthave.

Fast-dry top coat for a mirror finish Looking Glass by Picture Polish
Bought in a fit of Shopaholic on a wave of love for pycharm.
Composition:
1. Brush standard Pecherov. Small, flat smooth cut:
2. The finish is really glossy, but due to the fact that at first the varnish was sooo liquid, brush left terrible grooves on the nail (I even almost threw it). But after about 4-5 sa all normal. Gloss became brighter, and the brush ceased to cling to the previous layer of varnish.
3. Drying speed is good. A couple of coats of varnish can completely dry in 5 minutes. But, I noticed that works best with native Picture Polish lacquers. Others and dry more slowly, and the cuticle sometimes shrink...
4. Work with designs. The paint was very thin, stamping it even and not thought at Bay as the sliders. Now no longer lubricates the stamping and works well with stencils as drying base layer of varnish.
5. Durability with natural varnish shows excellent. Up to 3 days if my standard in a day. But other may on the same day, to cleave. Depends on the base Polish.
6. Experience a + rating. At first was disappointed but now happy to use this top pikermi or stencil designs. If the price did not bite, too, would repeat it.
Price — 700 rubles, the Rating is 5.
Nail Polish KBShimmer Clearly On Top Quick Dry Top Coat
Ooooh, it was love at first color. Bought it the first time by accident, but, having used half the bottle, I realized that He is my perfect top. So I immediately ran to find another (picture on my second bottle and still some duplicates now).
In the bottle are 2 metal balls, which do not allow the varnish to "stagnate" or much to thicken:
1. The brush is the regular, flat, smooth cut:
2. Finish just megalencephaly! And even if you put it the "left heel" and a lot of botucatu brush it after a couple of seconds samorazrushatsya and again become glossy. Yeah, thickens slightly after passing through the second third of the bottle but a few drops razvivalki bring him to his senses and allow you to use up to the last drop (tested on the first bottle).
3. The drying speed of a lightning. I first learned that you can paint your nails for 5 minutes before and after 3 to wear jeans!
4. Work with the designs too. The stamping remains in place for stencils "soil" is prepared so quickly as to donning jeans. Sliders, alas, can lubricate, but with a life hack to Peel Off the base all goes on hurrah without sacrificing durability!
5. Resistance prolongs manicure for a few days. But on the second day I sometimes notice "Upasana" from the cuticle. It is necessary to consider when painting and try to paint as close to the edges, then such problems will not be.
6. Experience a + rating. This is, by far, my must-have for every manicure-especially when you want to paint straight on the run or for a couple of minutes before bedtime or leaving the house.
Price — 550-600 rubles Rating— 5++++
Fuf. It seems, all told. In General, every top has its advantages and disadvantages, and the ideal I is one — kbsh :)
PS During lakhmananda I have had many different tops and the tops of the crackers that had come to an end and was not included in the post. Some of them I can not mention: Dance Legend Binary Top Coat (he was running away from the cuticle and thickens quickly, but perfectly coped with sliders), Sally Hansen (there were several, each of which not just duplicated, especially red, but it was clearly mercilessly and even raslavice not saved from being thrown out of a third of a bottle), Naomi Diamond Shield (had a good gloss, but quickly pinned the nail with it, and the smell was just disgusting), El Corazon Top like Gel (another top one for sliders, but alas, puzel and also in the middle of the bottle thickens), Seche Vite (I know, this is one of the favorite ecomanage dryers, but I had pulled the Polish off the cuticles and I just gave).
That's all I have)
And what is top for you perfect? (there is no limit to perfection, and can that you will advise more)
