I’d definitely like to try this but only if I could use a tester first to see how it worked.

That’s incredible. I don’t know how many times I’ve thought my nails were dry and given myself big smudges. Thanks for the tip

I love my Kensington top coat. As a busy mum of twin girls aged three, the only available time slot for doing my nails is just before bed time. Before I was left with sheet marks, now I can sleep the night away and wake up with perfect nails

I have tried it with OPI, Chanel, butter London, Nails Inc., RBL, Lenny Deighton, Illamasqua, Essie – and I haven’t had any significant drying issue with any of these brands.

Unfortunately it didn’t work for me. I have the worst drying time on the whole planet (just like Shattered said) – I plan my mani 4-5 hours before going to bed. Kensington Caviar 45 Second Top Coat takes about 1 hour or more to dry 2 coats of colored polish (applied with base coat under). I tried it both with Nail INK or other polishes like OPI, MAC, China Glaze. ANd I#m sure that I have the right and legit top coat.

So, I’m a little confused. Do they carry this at CosmoProf (we have them in Canada)?

Hi, Yep, tried it, love it and ordering my second bottle, Nails Inc have has some good offers on their website recently for polishes (I’m not affiliated in any way) so it’s been a good way for me to experiment with their colours as they usually retail for £10.50 a bottle. My only critisism is that I absoutely loathe the caps on the bottles, they are so fiddly and difficult to use compared to OPI, Seche and ChG.

I seriously love this stuff. After seeing the warning labels on Seche Vite I decided to skip it. All the other fast drying top coats are only so lala.
At first I bought the wrong top coat, so make sure when you buy this that you have the right one. The other one seriously sucks.
I have used this with Zoya and MAC polished and they work fine. No shrinkage, nothing. But I need to be careful I do not get bubbles (although they may not be the top coats fault).
Up to now this is seriously gorgeous stuff, love it!

great post as always! Nails inc is a very expensive brand so the prices you found weren't that bad. I think a bottle of Nails Inc polish retails in Ireland for 16euro. I tend to buy OPI or china Glaze as it much cheaper and buy the odd bottle of Nails Inc on a special occasion. They are always bang on trend with catwalk inspired colours. My latest buy is called The Thames (a perfect creme grey) and South Molton Street is hands down the best suit all natural pink I can find. I saw this website which seems to stock the products at good prices (cheaper than retail) and the p&p to the US seems good too. I have never used this website so i cant vouch for the service. Also, check out the Leighton Denny polishes on the same website – he also does great catwalk inspired colours Hope it helps x

Sounds great! My question is: Is it compatible with polishes such as Zoya? I know that Seche Vite is not and I'm looking for a quick-dry top coat that is.

Thanks for the video demo. The extra work you did is great. I also want to say that I appreciate that you do such a great job on your nails in your blog in general. I have come across some other ones and the paint job looks like a child did it. Keep up the great work!
