Doesn't Dry
Jcb24
2 years ago
I love Essie nail polish, both the regular formula and Gel Couture. I have always used SV fast dry top coat with all my polishes, but decided to stray and try Good to Go. Nope. It didn't dry and I could tell it wasn't going to dry any time soon. I immediately went for the remover and took it all off. I added it to my box of Misfit Polishes. :-(

The only top coat i will buy
rilynnann

This is my go-to top coat!! the surface dries very quickly, and is the only top coat i’ve found to dry entirely without getting any wrinkles, chips, smudges. previous coats i’ve used will wrinkle even two days later, this one completely dries within 30 minutes!! the glossy shine makes my nails so beautiful and complete. definitely the best top coat around
yes, I recommend this product.

For someone that's really impatient and clumsy (like me) or someone who repaints every few days this is great, except it definitely discolors and turns yellow quickly. I painted my nails Saturday, it's Tuesday and it's turning. It seems like it's just from light wear, I haven't used harsh products with them and don't smoke. Not a big deal since I change color so regularly, but still frustrating.

Useless Top coat!
CKB1
4 years ago
After not being able to find the Essie Good to Go top coat with peach writing on the bottle that has always worked brilliantly, I bought the new formulation with green writing. This stuff does NOT work! I didn't make it through the day without chips and I used to make it over a week! I thought maybe it was the polish, so I tried 2 other shades of Essie polish. Same result! I'm so disappointed and will try to find another top coat!
no, I do not recommend this product.

Looked great, never dried
GoingSallyHnsn
4 years ago
I bought this in hopes it would give a better shine to the pink essie polish and base coat I already had. I've used the pink alone with two coats and 30 min dry time between coats with zero problems. It typically stayed for 3/4 days before wearing off so I thought the top coat would help it stay longer. I applied the polish exactly as before and waited a full hour after the second coat of color to apply the top coat. I touch tested the color and made sure it was fully dry before applying top coat. I applied top coat on one hand. After an hour, it still wasn't dry and when I tested it, everything was wet and the all the polish came off as if the color layer was fully wet. I draped a paper towel on the nail and all the polish stuck to the paper and came off the nail. The other hand, without top coat, was still fine a day later. I've tried again on one nail waiting for the color coats to dry overnight before applying the top coat and same effect. It's as if the top coat re-wets the color polish and just never dries. Top coat works as a polish remover. Very disappointed with the top coat of SAME brand would interact this way with polish.
no, I do not recommend this product.

Chips my polish

This top coat chips my polish in 1 day. I used it with another essie polish and the chipping was surprising

peels off every time :(
kay22
4 years ago
Bought this to use with my Essie polish. It applies nicely, but after a day or less, the entire thing peels and falls right off. I don't know what I could be doing wrong--this is the only brand I've had this problem with, and it happens every time I try it again.
Gave 2 stars just because it's so easy to apply.
no, I do not recommend this product.

Hello kay22! We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with the good to go top coat. This quick drying, high gloss top coat should certainly help to keep your mani looking great and should not peel. We wish we knew why your nails were not holding on to the top coat.

Polish peels right off nail
Jojojojojojojojo
5 years ago
I’m having such bad experiences with this top coat. Yes it dries quickly but it chips very next day and then the polish peels off nail in one piece! I use essie smooth-e as a base coat and essie lacquer. My nails were clean and dry prior to application. I’ve used this top coat for at least 5 manicures and I get the same result each time. I’m not sure why I keep trying.
no, I do not recommend this product.

Good results but it thikens inside the bottle
Anonymous
5 years ago
I like the result of the product when the bottle is new. This is my second time purchasing it, and again I'm unable to finish the bottle (with almost 1/2 of it inside). On the bottle it says that it is supposed to expire 24 months after opening. Mine has a bit more than 12 months and I can't use it already :(
no, I do not recommend this product.

Obsessed with this top coat
Cece_123
5 years ago
I have never been more satisfied with doing my own nails. I feel like they look professionally done, and I don’t have to worry about them not being completely dry. I’ve tried other brands where the paint literally takes all day to dry, and then when I go to sleep and wake up the next morning they’re ruined. This polish dried in under an hour, and they look really glossy even after washing and doing stuff around the house.
yes, I recommend this product.

Total disappointment
Justme123
6 years ago
I really like how this top coat helps your polish dry quickly and shine, but today is the second day in a row I have painted my nails only to find chips hours later. I applied a base coat- let it dry, one coat- let it dry, second coat- let it dry, then top coat. Same results different polish colors so I can’t even blame the lacquer. I feel like the polish would have lasted longer without this product.
no, I do not recommend this product.

Orange tips?
SthrnEl
6 years ago
I have now used this product twice with two lighter blush colors and each time by the second day, the tips of my nails seems to be taking on an orange tint. I’m really confused what is causing this. The first time, I had washed dishes with tomato sauce so even though that didn’t make sense, I assumed maybe the sauce stained them. The second time, they haven’t been exposed to anything that could have caused this. it started within 24 hours. I think I’m going to have to try a new top coat. Bummer!
no, I do not recommend this product.

lauren1234

I love this top coat — it goes on very smoothly and dries quickly. I haven’t had any issues with it chipping or smudging! BUT I will say that you need to make sure your color coats are COMPLETELY dry before you paint this on top. If not, my nails never seemed to dry and set properly. I like to add additional coats to my nails throughout the week to help them last, and this polish does the trick! 10/10 would recommend.
yes, I recommend this product.

Great top coat for anything. My nails don't keep ANY polish on, but this makes them feel like they have gel and don't chip at all. It dries fast leaves a nice finish, and protects your polish. HIGHLY recommend!

Since doing my nails is a pretty recent obsession of mine, I’ve yet to invest in a UV/LED light. Without a top coat, I noticed my nail polish would quickly become dull and would show any smudges. After reading just a few reviews of this top coat, I decided to try it out and it did not disappoint! It completely dries in less than 5 minutes, and flawlessly self-evens to look smooth and shiny. If you’re impatient like me and need a no-cure top coat, this is the one for you!
yes, I recommend this product.

Absolutely adds the best shine to your colour coat! And most importantly protects your manicure from damage. I also found it dried fairly quickly which is nice. I would definitely buy again!

I have tried many brands and find that they always chip, smudge, or they're stringy. Essie makes my favorite though, no chips, not stringy and I dont have to wait forever for it to fully dry! This is definitely my go to when I need it.

Essie is also a good top coat. The gel top coat is great as well. Its shiny and long lasting and protects your color. The product lasts a long time too. Have purchased several times. I buy at Target.

I love using this top coat when I do my nails at home . It dries in the perfect amount of time and doesn't leave streaks on your nails ! It's also affordable at drugstores and gets the job done without spending crazy amount of money on other top coats !
