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's 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 2 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 3 coats on my nails not including the base and top coats so it took about 5-8minutes to "crack". very please with the results.
