However, the one top coat I&#8217;ve been consistently using because it&#8217;s bloody AWESOME and cheap to boot is Essence Gel Nail Polish Top coat.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-Dt3iQW379kQ\/Vh8anxWifzI\/AAAAAAAAAqc\/yzIvDx2IXmE\/s1600\/IMG_4759%2Bcopy.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-Dt3iQW379kQ\/Vh8anxWifzI\/AAAAAAAAAqc\/yzIvDx2IXmE\/s1600\/IMG_4759%2Bcopy.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>I grabbed this&nbsp;+ the base coat in the system when I was in Australia for $5.10 each from Priceline. While the base coat was a sad let down, the top coat is frankly really impressive. It&#8217;s not a true &#8216;gel polish&#8217; (I wish companies would stop doing this tbh but I digress), but it&#8217;s a really great high-shine, quick dry top coat. I&#8217;ve used it for pretty much every single manicure I&#8217;ve done since I bought it. It&#8217;s self-leveling, and doesn&#8217;t smudge my nail art. The only thing I don&#8217;t like about this product is that I can&#8217;t gauge how much product I have left due to the chrome bottle. Other than that, I fully recommend this to anyone looking for a great top coat on a budget!<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Essence is available at selected Farmers nationwide (NZ), or Priceline (AU).<\/span><\/i><br \/><i><br \/><\/i>Lexie xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hey everyone, I realized recently that I&#8217;m not super loyal when it comes to top coats (except for&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[215],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alexisadrienne.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alexisadrienne.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alexisadrienne.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alexisadrienne.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alexisadrienne.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alexisadrienne.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alexisadrienne.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alexisadrienne.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alexisadrienne.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
