Oooooh , yes, I did misunderstand what you wrote. My bad, sorry.:hug:

That's OK, it's often harder to convey things by written communication as opposed to verbally with all its tonal nuances, but at least we've been able to sort it out!!!

Please change your post title from 'I want to know the absolute best topcoat' as You really do not want to know which one is the best as you has discredited some major companies!
I use INM's Out The Door and love it, I also have been using Airdry for most of the year and this is incredible. I buy the big bottles and can hoenstly say that there is little difference from first to last drop.
I have all the CND tops and bases and find little difference between them all as they are Fab. My clients love Super Shiney and INM's OTD.
Personally I believe that the only way to get perfect non chip nails is to use the best products, applied in the right way and to sit still!
Also the foundation is the key............ but thats another discussion!

First I would like to address "Red Admiral" about your comment.
It seems as if you are looking to start an argument with me. I don't think that my original post was offensive at all. (i now need to find a replacement. I don't like Seche,Out the Door, Poshe,CND) What is so wrong with what I said? All I am looking for is some new suggestions for a topcoat that keeps polish on all week just like the one that I was using. I do appreciate everyone elses warm and helpful responses. By no means was I looking to insult anyone who uses the products that I mentioned. I understand that many people use and like the products mentioned. But, not everyone has to like them either. I don't like you insinuating that I am not doing performing my services properly and that is why my topcoat is not working well.This board is meant to help eachother not insult or try to hurt feelings. So,I apologize to you if you took my post the wrong way and it would be nice if you could do the same to me. This is my first time on here and I already feel unwelcomed. Should I change my username now?

I am EzFlow trained but I love CND Super Shiney top coat. Always get great comments on its durability and sleek shiny result.

Don't feel bad hun, noone is dissing you or the way you perform your services.:hug:
Maybe an idea for you would go out and buy small sizes of each topcoat you would like to try out? And I don't know how long ago it was you decided no on those brands you mentioned, but if it's a very long time ago, formulas might have changed, or your routine has, so they suit you better now
Good luck

Certainly in the case of CND all the formulas have changed and for one thing, they are all 3 FREE!! Yay.
To Sillysoup I would say try the CND Air Dry as well ... I find it tremendously hard wearing and I'm sure you will too. :hug:

So have the CND top and base formulas changed as well? Is it for the 3 free or other changes/improvements?
I am a big user of the CND bases/tops so will be interesting to hear what changes there are. CND bases/tops beat all the others I have tried by miles.

OPI UV SEAL...My personal fav! One minute under the uv lamp and they are out the door!
Well Sillysoup, I too have just joined this site. My favorite topcoat is Diamond Dry. It is now being sold at Sally's which I used to have to special order. It never gets thick, stays shiny and doesn't yellow,plus drys very quickly. As for a UV polish topcoat, I have just discovered IBD topcoat for polish which dries under the light and my clients love it. I also use their UV topcoat for pink/white. Not sure if your still looking, but hope that helps.

Hi Sillysoup I haven't posted on here for a while but I've been really interested in this thread.
I've tried so many topcoats and my personal fave is CND Super Shiny but also (I will probably get told off for this as its not a salon brand lol) I really like Revlon topcoat. Sorry guys!
Hope you find your own favourite x x

Can someone enlighten me regarding uv top coats ! Do these have to be soaked off like a gel or removed with polish remover ? I notice some say under a light is this a uv light or an ordinary light ?

It varies across all the different options you mention, hunni.
Some UV top coats have to be soaked off and some have to be buffed off.
Some top coats cure with heat only and others require UV exposure.
UV lamps are usually referred to as LAMPS not lights.

That's my favourite as well, I certainly prefer it to Top Priority; not suprising it won the InStyle award for best topcoat!
