    Really good stuff. Before finding this, my polish would chip within a day of wear no matter how careful I was or how quality the polish. Because I am so clumsy, I actually pay for weekly polish...

    My nails stay unchipped (a bit of wear at tips) for at least a week with this top coat. The downside is that it takes forever to dry so I find myself taking it all off and starting over pretty...

    I got it for a fairly cheap price and even though it doesn't do any miracle for the chipping of my nail polish, it prevents my nails from getting stained and it also makes a fairly good glossy top...

    I am just blown away by the durability of this stuff! It is the best I have ever tried for preventing chips (and as I ALWAYS have my nails painted and have done for years I've tried a lot!) It is...

    Shocked at the low rating this has!!! This is by far the best base top coat I have ever used. I bought it but was not expecting much because I really don't find Sally Hansen that great. I just...

    Wow! I'm really surprised that a lot of people aren't a fan of this base and top coat. I bought it off a whim to do a manicure for my mom and I when we were out of town and it is definitely the...

    I've only used this as base coat and it's a pretty mediocre one. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in the red bottle is one of my HG top coats, so I had picked out Ultimate Shield as a base coat without much...

    I can see where the bad reviews are coming from; this one 's a bit tricky indeed. I had a horrible experience the first time I used it, it was like "welcome to bubble city", though it dried pretty...

    The product title seems very appealing and draws you in. At fist it applies easily but as it dries a tremendous amount of tiny bubbles appear. I would not buy this product again.

    This product was discontinued in my country and it left me so sad . This dries in seconds , easy to apply, applies thin layers and does not shrink my polish . The bottle does go goopy after some...

    This is a great top coat for preventing chipping and peeling, plus it provides a UV shield. My manicures really last with Ultimate Shield on top, and it creates that extra shiny finish! I've been...

    Only used as a top coat. I wear a lot of clear/ sheer polishes, and they start looking a bit yellow after a day of wear. This protects wonderfully. Great UV shield. But it can sometimes make my...

    I guess I'm the only one that likes this stuff... I haven't tried it as a base coat, but this works REALLLLLLY well for me as a top coat. I use it on top of two coats of OPI, and my manicure...

    Simply put.. product goes back to the store... - this product didn't protect my polish from UV light (sun / tanning bed) - It dries with a low lustre shine.. not glossy "just left the salon"...
