Do you have to purchase the top coat for the polish to work?

Yes. This nail polish is amazing. It lasts so long. The top coat makes is last longer.

Yes. Absolutely. You may be able to use regular polish with this top coat. I did it that way once. Worked about the same.

I used it once without the top coat (still waiting for it to arrive) and it works OK, but much better with it

The top coat works as well with other brands of polish. I used it with Sally Hansen salon all in one. CND polish did not wear well. I used Scrub fresh 1st. None lasts 7 days. I also have the entire shellac system- wears better, but terrible to remove. Vinyl lux is easy to remove.

Yes there is a top coat. No it doesn't scratch easily. I am thrilled 12 months later.

Nope. That is the direction only for when you wanna use it as base coat. It is true that the nail tek foundation is good for base coat because it make the surface of nails matt. But You don't have to use polish. It depends on what you wanna do with this.

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

I use it as a base coat, but it's not made to be a top coat; just a polish applied daily

Yes to the bc question. No to the other. I use this as a base, put my polish on then use this again and add a quick dry top coat. Works perfectly :)

You can if you really want to, but you do not need to buy some. I didn't buy the polish and didn't need it.

No its like nail polish but, you must use the top by CND. No base coat. Works fairly well.

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.

To make it more durable and prevent wear and tear, nicks and chips and to give it a "finished" look. Top comes in different gloss shades. In high traffic areas (such a kitchen cabinets) it is recommended to use at least 3 layers of top coat.

You will need to apply a top coat but otherwise mine lasted about a week. I use my hands fairly regularly so that's the average for most nailpolish.

It will look like a regular base coat... Its meant to be used as a top coat to make nails look smooth n shiny...

I haven't had any troubles with the nail polish. Maybe you should use a clear top and bottom coat??? I don't know &#128542;. Sorry.

If you're using tips, buy separately. The base coat would go on top. I don't use tips. Using Gelish polishes has allowed me grow out my own nails and they are healthy now. Love the products!!

Yes, you need both a top coat & a base coat for this product. You can use any brand top or base coat. I have an all-in-one base/top coat by Christrio.

Hi, yes off course it's wonderful to protect the nail polish to last longer. I swear by it, when I use other clear top coats nothing works like Nailtiques.
