saves time [SEP] definitely a better use of time i can change and refresh my polish in no time and with a wiggly toddler time is of the essence now just like the product description says u cant let this stuff come in contact with your skin it burns so bad but can be easily washed or wiped off it is really thick and smells like paint thinner if i had to compare it to something if i dont buff the top coat off i have to do applications the first one took the top coat off and the second got underneath and took care of the rest i like to cure about coats on my nails not including the base and top coats so it took about to crack very please with the results
