does this product need a uv top coat or can a gloss top coat be added.

I will be using 2K primer which doesn't need a top coat. Besure to scuff before applying.

from what I read it has to be the gel nailpolish with the led lamp but I am sure you can use regular nailpolish after top coat after it dries.

It's a top coat. It's clear.It's it a dark bottle to protect it from UV exposure (the vinylux colors also come in opaque bottles).

You can apply a topcoat, but it isn't necessary. It's also rated for outdoor use.

it may be all rite depending on the heat type ? is it flame heat or element heat! also what are you using for a top coat like a clear coat?

I am no expert but have used this product and after about 2 years it needs a new coat. I plan to just apply it over the old.

Good morning Russelk777Base on my own experience, adding the clear coat will not make it shine, as of fact, it will give it a matte look.

No. Use a small fan to dry regular polish. OR you can apply a coat of gel base and dry with the UV lamp. THEN apply a coat (or 2) of regular polish. Once the regular Polish is COMPLETELY dry (again - AIR dry regular polish), you can apply a gel top coat and dry with the UV lamp. I personally haven't tried this method, but I've read that this can be done when someone wants to use regular polish to extend the life of their mani. But make sure the coat of regular polish is completely dry!I hope this was helpful. :)

I used it on my grout and there is NO gloss or satin finish. It didn't change the color of the grout in any way and you can't tell it's there until you test it with water after it's dry. In fact, I was just at my new house (four days later) and I had to test it again with water because it didn't look as if anything was there. I loved this stuff. We applied two coats but the first coat did make the grout waterproof. I put the two coats on because I want it to last and last. I sealed every piece of grout in the house. :)

Thanks for your inquiry. No, you do not need a UV light to cure. Apply as a regular topcoat however this special topcoat will get harder everyday by expose to lights. You can learn more about this product at CND website. Hope this answer your question. Bpnails

You do not need to top coat it. It does scratch rather easily without a too coat but under carpet it would be fine. I put this on the inside and outside of my cj7 before painting it. It's a beige color and has some sandy texture to it.

I wouldn't use a uv unless it says specifically. And the base coat helps to strengthen whereas this helps to dry only. But they do have one for multiple use

Yes, you need both a base coat & top coat. I use the top coat by gellish :)

I Just be aware that it is high gloss. It you want the flat finish that is another version of the product. The stipple on the plastic will make it somewhat white looking which could be a problem on dark surface color.

There is like a thin gloss coat on the top, but once you use it, it isn't glossy anymore, and is actually quite matte(:

It's salon- quality gel polish. You have to use a gel base and top coat and a uv light

If I was going with just one and was unsure which I would like more I would pick gloss. You can apply gloss and leave it be for a high gloss or you can always do a light sanding with a light grit sand paper or an all purpose scotch-brite hand pad/scrub pad and then use a polish to bring back some shine. So you can control the degree of shine some what with the gloss. Satin is kind of a one trick pony. As far as which looks better, that depends on the individual and the look they are going for. I personally like a gloss finish better than satin in most applications.
