Why hasn’t this been discontinued?

This product is completely useless, unlike the rest of the Essie products which are wonderful. I just don’t understand why they still make it.

Awful top coat

Never fully dries. Hours later the polish dents and since it is so soft it has no shine. you could scrape it all off with the pad of your finger.

Does not fully dry, not a good product

I was excited to use this product because I love Essie, but this product is terrible. Wish I read the reviews before purchasing. It doesn’t fully dry, leaves dents and has no shine. So disappointed.

Hi there Ginger22, We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. This high gloss protective top coat should be dry in 5 minutes or less. Your bottle is definitely not performing as it should. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

Doesn’t work at all

I'm disappointed in this top coat. I got it because Essie was such a recommended brand when I was researching online - I guess I should've looked for the reviews of this particular product. My nails are full of dents and imprints even after I let my nails dry for hours. Even now, nearly 10 hours later, they dent so easily if they touch anything. I don't want to have to go buy another top coat, but I really don't think I can reasonably keep using this product - such a waste.

Awful!

I bought this in the UK, wish I'd seen reviews before I'd bought it but assumed it would be good given the brand and other purchases. What a waste of money...it just didn't dry at all! I left it for 3 hours before I needed to physically do some work, but then it just dented and smudged as it was still soft and not fully dry. It's unreturnable now though now I've used it!

Awful Product

Like all the other reviews state, this truly doesn’t dry. It’s awful. Please don’t waste your money. I’m disappointed in myself that I didn’t read reviews first. Essie team - providing this feedback to the team isn’t helpful. A refund would be much better.
