The wet nail effect was definitely the best rated aspect of this hybrid manicure top coat by HANDS. No Wipe Top by this brand received the best ratings in durability tests. The product comes at an favourable price and has a convenient application 👍 The HANDS hybrid top coat offers a very high level of gloss! 🌟 What is important, after curing it with a UV lamp, no additional washing is necessary, which significantly saves time (no-wipe effect). The whole process is faster and easier. According to the testers, the top coat has proven itself in terms of increasing the resistance of nails to scratches and cracks in the polish and extended the period between corrections or manicure application up to 3 weeks. The testers also liked it for bringing out the depth of the colour and giving the manicure a pleasant, wet finish.

This hybrid top coat appealed to the testers for its delicate golden glitter, which- combined with a transparent top formula - interestingly accentuates manicure made with different colours of polish. Gold has never been out of fashion, although not everyone has to like it. 💍 The price of this top coat was rated as very affordable. It can be a cool, complementary product in your hybrid kit. 😍 It applies well, cures quickly and stays on the nails for a long time. As our testers observed, the Reney hybrid top has an unobtrusive fragrance.

Gelish Top it Off coat for hybrid manicure is a product in the form of a gel, which gives nails a high gloss effect. ✨ It works well for manicure based on typical hybrid polishes and for fixing nails with gel or acrylic extensions. As assessed by the testers, the price of the product is too high in relation to its performance. 😐 There were also opinions that the top coat floods the nail plate and weakly adheres to the polishes of some brands used by the testers. The testers also negatively assessed the scent of the Gelish top.

Editorial Text:
The Alessandro Fibre Glass gloss top coat got us interested due to its formula with fibreglass. 💎 The aim of this top coat is to create a hard, abrasion-resistant external layer on hybrid polish or gel. Unfortunately, taking into account the other factors, the top comes fifth in the ranking. The Alessandro Fibre hybrid top coat was not very well rated for its adhesion and curing time. ⏳ It also did not receive high marks for the visual effect of the finish. As the testers noted, the bottle is too small and the top coat thickens quickly. Also, the price of this product was considered too high.
Benefits
Alessandro, Fibre Glass, Gloss top coat
- good hardness
- also for use on gel manicure
Disadvantages
Alessandro, Fibre Glass, Gloss top coat
- poor adhesion
- quickly becomes thick
- too expensive
