So I got this top coat from julep like 2 weeks ago and im just now getting around to using it. So far (like 2 hrs in lol) I am loving it!!! This isnt your ordinary top coat. It gives you the finish and long wear (atleast that is what they say) of a gel manicure and and the easy application and clean up of a regular top coat. So far I do agree with the finish being gel like, I just have to wait to see how long it wears. The only thing that is kind of annoying is that you have to hold it under a 60 watt light bulb for a little bit after you apply it. But hey if it makes my DIY manicure last for a week or more then I will do it lol. So I say if you want a gel like manicure but in like half the time and with all of your amazing polishes, this might be for you. I got mine from sephora and they do sell the julep line there. I will check back in after a few days to let you know how it wears. Hopefully I can keep up the rave review :)
