My most frequently used top coats

After writing about my most frequently used base coats it is time to say a little something about the top coats I like to use! I don't use top coat that often. I don't really need my manicures to last long since I like changing what's on my nails every two or three days. When I do use top coat, I probably grab one of these three bottles!

 




Essence - top speed gloss
This is a thin top coat that dries very fast. I use this when I wear very cheap, fast chipping polishes and don't feel like a thick sealing coat.

Essence - Fruity - scented top coat

This top coat was part of a limited edition. I also own two other polishes from that edition, called 'one kiwi a day' and 'mashed berries'. They are very fun polishes, sort of indie-like with very spare glitter that reminds me of smoothies. The top coat smells like those sour strawberry candy belts. (For the Dutchies: zure matten! Met aardbeiensmaak!) The scent stays for two days max and the top coat doesn't shine that much, but I still like using it, mostly as a clear polish when I'm not allowed to wear colour.

                                                                 

                                                                     Essence - better than gel nails top sealer

This has to be my favourite top coat. There is a 'high gloss' and a 'quick dry' version, and I own the second one. I don't know why they made two versions, because this one shines like CRAZY, check it out here and here. The 'better than gel nails top sealer' dries fast, but not faster than the top speed gloss. It's formula is thicker, more gel-like. The only thing I don't like about this polish is the bottle: you can't tell how much product is left.
