I meant to write here sooner, but when this was posted I wasn't commenting.<br /><br />Having not counted recently, I think there are 30-35 of these bottles in my stash, all on sale at 40-50% off. I like to stock up... especially in fear that someday they might be discontinued. I'm covered if that ever happens.<br /><br />Apply as a top coat to wet polish. Don't forget to coat under your nails and tips. Reapply every 1-2 days. <br /><br />Some polishes take forever to dry... this clear top coat solves that problem.<br /><br />It might get goopy mid-bottle. The fix is a few drops of nail polish thinner. When a bottle gets mid-way I pull out a fresh one. Then I take the half used ones and combine them. A little thinner later and it's like a new bottle. Save the empty bottle, clean it out with nail polish remover... you never know when you might need an empty.<br /><br />Just buy it. You won't regret it. It's only $1 to $2.

Quick is fabulous, but not thin, and it's too expensive. I love Seche Vite, but it is finicky and stinky (it's evaporation of chemicals that makes it get gloopy). Seche Vite does dry the layers underneath faster for me than any others, if I use it right away while my polish is still very wet, like the instructions say to do. I didn't like Orly Sec n Dry much. Out the Door dries the top layer of polish very well for me, but doesn't do much for the underneath layers.<br />Everyone, please make sure that you use polish thinner and not polish remover to restore thick polishes or topcoats. Totally different.

Something about the ingredients that make them dry quicky also make qdtc's thicken over time. You can add polish thinner to restore thickened topcoats back to a workable consistency.

I use OPI Nail Envy to strengthen my nails, but I've found that it doesn't get along well with some of my polishes as a top coat (particularly Wet 'n Wild, which literally never sets for me when topped with Nail Envy). But GSC gets along with all my polishes! And I've never had any problems with nail art, or with it getting goopy, or cracking.
