Is it think, like an actual gel? Or thin, like a regular top coat?

NO, it is not thick. I can add a new coat several times and it is still not thick. -but is does hold up and after a while, it can be peeld off, like a light vinyl coating. My nail have not cracked adn still look great-and longer than I've had them in years!

It is a little thicker than a top coat. I use two to three coats. My nails were breaking, splitting, and brittle. Since using Pink Armor, my nails are in the best shape they have been in years. I love it!!

It's thick like gel. I use it as a base coat and then a top coat over color....my natural mails are beautiful

Yes, if you are using regular nail polish with gel top coat, it still works great! Only recommendation is to let the regular nail polish dry COMPLETELY before adding the gel top coat. If you don't, the regular nail polish will begin to wrinkle.

I use gelish PH bond, foundation, color, then top coat. I've tried the gel color you can get at CVS and it does not stay on as long. Definitely buy gelish brand or higher quality than what CVS carries.

Compared to the other creams that I've used, this is on the thin side. Compared to Taylor of Old Bond Street, say, Proraso might seem "runny." It is, however, on par with Art of Shaving creams and a few others. I always got a thin lather out of it too -- always badger brushes and varied degrees of wetness.

i think so. i've used other brand gel colors with the gelish top and base coat with no issues. so doing the opposite should work also.

I would say no, this cannot be used as a top coat as well. They do seem very different. the top coat uses uv to cure and lock down the color coat. the base is used to attach the color coat to your nail. I would not recommend not getting all three types if you want to do gel nails.

It is a top coat. Unfortunately I used it as a base and it damaged my nails a little so I would advise using as a top coat only. It's pretty strong and when being removed could damage your nail a little.

none they are all the same, like shellac and gel, just two diff names for the same thing

A very thin coat, about the size of a pea, more if you are going to apply to your neck. I only use it on my face.

I've personally never tried gel polish before, but from what I read online, you must use a thinner specifically for gel polish in order to thin them.

Thin is a subjective word. I don't think it's thin at all; I find it very thick and creamy. I use it almost every day and my hair is very soft and conditioned. Try it again.

When I first got it I did use as directed only on half your nail for first week. After that I appy to entire nail as a base coat and use nail polish as usual. I don't think it would be good as a top coat. I use seche vite Always as top coat.

No, its a very thin liquid exactly like water. I remember the cream/lotion from prior that they made and it was amazing.. this isn't the same. It does have a weird odor and really doesn't work very well. I wouldn't repurchase.

No,it appears to be more of a silicone based property.I must say that after doing detailing for 40+ years;it is one of the better tire gloss products that I've used.it is a fairly a thicker gel,although it does go on very nicely.The results are far better than most others.It also seems to be more impervious to water than most too.

It should be a gel. Maybe it got too hot. It might work anyway. They sell it in several forms

Less than a pea size, I've been using it all summer and it's more than half full still. At least that's the way I use it. It's an odd texture, like Elmers glue, and I just put a very thin layer, but it does work. Also wore it all day at Disneyland, and didn't get sunburned, and I'm a redhead, so the sunscreen really works too.

I dont know for sure. All I know is that it's one of if not the best top coat I've used.
