i'm disappointed so far.... I had to start touching up chips along the top within two days, and the reviews made it sound like this stuff REALLY works. Any advice? I really want something that lasts at least a week.

I've found that it really matters what's underneath. This is the best top coat I've ever used, but if I use 99 cent NYC nail polish, it chips in two days. If I use Revlon nail polish, it chips in 5 days. If I use a non-metallic, non-pearlized Essie, it takes forever to chip. I've had the same polish on for a week, and cut my nails, and they still look great. Another tip: don't let the undercoat/color polish dry all the way. I put the Seche Vite on when the color coat is SLIGHTLY (really SLIGHTLY) still sticky. It adheres better that way. It's also important to keep it off your skin, because it dries fast and if little bits peel off your finger, they will take the rest of the polish along. Hope that's helpful!

Rita, I tried different levels and could not get a crispy chip. I wish you better luck than I had. I was left dissapointed....AND chipless!

I bought mine with a chip in the enamel from a reputable, discount home store a few years back. The chip is probably why it was at that store with a discount. I haven't noticed the chip getting any bigger, but I've also hardly used it and it mostly sits on the stove as decor.

Maybe if you only used mini chips, but I still think it would tend to clog up. We just drop the chips in the batter when it's on the griddle//pan and they come out great.

I have been cautious about putting anything hot on it. I've set a mug of hot coffee on it for several minutes with no harm. My biggest concerns are chipping and staining. I've had to fix three chips so far (I painted in July). I wish I had gone with a darker color than white diamond because any time it comes into contact with any coloring (mustard...) it's an instant stain that I can't figure out how to get out.

Hi SMARP..... Yes, I also noticed that the Greens First Berry and the Chocolate flavored "Boost" from Green's first last no where near a month. I measure like I'm baking!! I thought I was losing my mind! There is no way it lasts 30 days as it states. It's expensive, and at this rate? I have to buy again before the 3rd week of the month!! Maybe I will call or email Green's First. It's not fair to say it has 30 servings which is a scoop. If they don't fix this? I truly don't know if I can afford to keep buying it. I was wondering why I was running out so quickly. I literally checked the serving per container last order ( about 2 weeks ago). I don't have a ton of money. I love the product. So I'm feeling upset that they don't put enough product as it says should be in each container!! I'm sure others have the same problem. I think Greens' First will blame it on the seller since it's cheaper to buy on Amazon as opposed to the Green's First website. I will call them. It's very frustrating!! I'm sure a lot of people will say the same thing! Thanks for letting me know that I'm not losing my mind!! LOL I appreciate it! Geo

Didn't seem to help me at all. I took for one month everyday made it hot like tea. 2 tab spoons a day. I wasted fifty something dollars. On charge card. Just another gimmick out there.if you decide to get it start off with a little-known honey in your hot cup. Then like three to four days you will be able to tolerate the taste without honey. Wish you luck.

Depends on how deep the crack is. There are fillers on the market for deep chips. This is like paint. And like paint, it will only fill in very shallow chips and scratches. It's not expensive, so all you can do is give it a try. It is very good for covering up any chips that exposed a different color beneath the enamel. So, yes it is just cosmetic, but you can stretch it's limits pretty far. It dries to really durable hard surface that will eventually scrub off if you use a lot of comet, but then you can just "paint" it again.

Im not familiar with that set up. But if you have access to the entirely exposed chip, then yes, all you have to do is apply a small amount in the middle and then spread it (like mayonaise) across the top of the chip until you have an even layer. A small 2" X 2" index card or something similar in thickness works very well. The Artic stuff is very forgiving. So it won't damage other components if it gets away from you. Easy wipe off before it sets.

I used some I bought from a big box store. Took two in morning and two at night. I didn't see any change, but I only used it about two weeks, then ran out. I think maybe my trial wasn't long enough or it is hype. Not sure which. Sorry.

Yeah, that's why they encourage you to do so outdoors.. I don't know if there's something wrong with mine, but it takes a very long time to bake the moisture out of it. I've left it in for 5-6 hours and it's still full of moisture (maybe it's a FL problem??)

Yes! I put on 2/3 coats, appy polish and follow polish with a clear coat. My polish use to chip after 4/5 days but stays on for 2/3 weeks now. I also take Hair revive from healthfood store which helps hair,skin and nails and I am not sure which one did the trick but my nails are long and georgeus. Were chipping & brittle before. I now use it eveerytime my nails are done and will continue to do so. A little pricy but well worth the money to have these natural nails. Have questions on who does my nails as they look so natural. Just laugh and say thats because they are natural. Hope you try it as I don;t think you will be disappointed. Nancy Lichty Yes! I put on 2/3 coats, appy polish and follow polish with a clear coat.

Hi Kathy: Contact the manufacturer directly. The chips last for about 1 year, but longevity is influenced by the specific viscosity of the essential oils that you are using. I own 3 of their hand made wood and clay models and they work well. I've had a few chips go bad while under warranty and they sent out new chips promptly.

Make sure you are using a light coat. It comes out pretty thick so brush the brush off on the bottle. The thicker the coat the more your nails will chip. I paint my nails about every 3 days anyway, but this is the first top coat I have gotten to allow me to keep my fingers painted for more then 3 days if I wanted to keep them the same color without chipping. I know the frustration and of course not everything works for everyone, but the lighter the coat the better

Don't buy it, polish chips within hours of dying... opi is a better brand. The brush is regular.

I have left it in overnight, sometimes a day or two. It sorta squishes down & is a lot thinner than you want it to be. Also depends on what you eat, corn chips etc make it come out too...
