Essie No Chips Ahead Top Coat Review

Essie No Chips Ahead Top Coat
This Top Coat from Essie claims to keep nails chip free for up to 10 days.  Nail polish usually lasts up to 2 days on me before I start to see any tip wear and then a further 3 days before any major chipping.  I used this top coat over the top of OPI's Wear Something Spar-Kylie and it kept the polish chip both chip and tip wear free for four days.  However by 9PM on the fourth day I noticed that it was already starting to chip on my ring finger nail.

Compared to my old unbranded top coat this one did extend the length of my manicure, but not to the extend Essie claim.  It did add a high shine finish to my nails and smoothed out the texture of the glitter polish underneath.  I used 2 coats of Essies No Chips Ahead as I wanted to get rid of the rough glitter fell and it still  dried fairly quickly.

You can get this top coat from Boots for £8.99.

Princess points: 4/5
This top coat added a really smooth and shiny finish to my nails and double my usual wear time.  I think this is a decent top coat, but it didn't make my manicure last the full 10 days it claimed, so I shall continue my hunt for that miracle top coat.
