How shiny is it compared to other top coats?

This is really nice and shiny top coat. But use gloves to do dishes with and it lasts up to one week.

Super shiny & it lasts all week. I only polish my nails once a week. Your nails will have that "wet look". I think you'll like it plus it helps dry nails faster.

I would say double. It would be comparable to a nail salon type of finish. Maybe even better

Just installed one and it is more of a matte finish. It is not shiney at all. I think it's very sharp looking, but more of a dull black with a slightly rough texture.

I would say it is more matte than shinny. Somewhere in the middle of shinny and matte.

It is more flat than shiny. It has a very slight sheen to it when the light hits it right, similar to a good quality bed sheet. It's a very nice set. We were pleasantly surprised.

It's hard for me to say. The finish I used it on was not smooth. I would say more of a semi gloss finish. I have used it on a brass cash register and it has performed extremely well on keeping its shine and preventing tarnish.

It does have a bit of a shine. It is not a matte (canvas/cotton) look or feel. Very lightweight.

I did three coats on some finished Fir and it holds up to water pretty well. It's satin so don't expect to see a shine. Similar results to Polycrylic satin clear sprays.

It was several years ago that I ordered these. Yes, they were a little shiny. The fabric is very lightweight....not like a "goretex" that you see in an expensive snow mobile suit, more like a windbreaker fabric over a thick lining. Hope this helps.

Brushed, it's really lovely. It does gleam, but it is not reflective like polished chrome. We can't imagine being w/o them now. Own two units.

Hello yes it gives a sheen shine when we use it at first but after about 3 coats it looks really shiney and brite hope it works for you.

As you can see from the other answers it's not shiny but more like black matte, it's prepared for paint but I use mine as it is, perfect.

It's shiny when applied, but dries to more of a matte finish. Once dry you can't tell it's on.

Sorry, I didn't see your question, the finish is somewhat shiny, I wouldn't say high gloss but certainly not flat.

I just gave it a wash today. It is not shiny, but looks great. I think there was a coating that should have been washed off before using. Worked great and we love it.

The base coat makes it last much longer, and the top coat is what seals it and gives it shine. Gel polish colors are really dull on their own without the top coat.

It is a nice shiny finish. We have owned them for a few months and they still look new.

It is shiny and it really works. My nails are strong and long. Hope you give it a try
