My Experience with Essence 3D Shine Gel Look Plumping Top Coat:

The Top coat comes in a nail polish like bottle. It comes in a transparent glass bottle with a black screw cap which has the brush. There are pink highlights on the bottle and the name “3D Shine” is mentioned on the cap. There is some information on the back of the nail polish. The product doesn’t come sealed. You can see the quantity through the transparent bottle. The top coat is clear in color and has a runny consistency, but it has a gel-like texture. The product is travel-friendly.

The use of the product is easy. You need one or two coats on the nail polish. The quality of the brush is satisfactory. It is very fine and this makes the application a bit tricky. You need to sweep several times to achieve a good look. I wish the brush was denser and this could have helped you achieve a thick look. The top coat takes a long time to dry. Since it has gel-like texture, it creates a 3D effect. Once applied, the top coat takes around 3-5 minutes to completely dry. It can mess up the nail polish, if you damage it before it dries. The top coat when applied creates a smooth finish. It diminishes any ridges present on the nail polish.

The top coat adds extreme shine to the nail polish. The shine fades a bit after drying and after around 3 days, it completely fades away. You can see the changes from the first day and after. The top coat adds a gel-like finish to any kind of nail polish. The product works the best with Essence Gel nail polishes. The plumping effect is great and I love this effect in the nail polish. The top coat stays for around 5 days without any chipping or peeling. The top coat retains the color of the nail polish and lengthens the wear of the nail color. The top coat is great, but I wish the results stay longer.
