Nails.INC It's Topless Billie Classic Burgundy Gel-Like Nail Polish

I was so sceptical about the idea of using no base or top coat for this nail polish I put off buying them how wrong I was Theis is the quickest and most easily applied nail polish I own I do not buy any other brand nails inc have been my favourite for a while always so easy to apply and long lasting When i got this polish i also ordered the nail repair polish so i did a test one hand with just the topless coat and the other hand with the repair polish as a base coat the topless coat on it’s own lasted longer I wasn’t expecting that My only concern would be possible staining if the polish was really dark but after using a darker polish on my toes and having no issues with removing I again was surprised unless certain colours stained I haven’t had that issue The coverage is easy to apply and covers well it’s chip resistant is excellent and the difference between chipping compared to other brands is why I only know use nail inc i think it’s the best nail polish of others similar price The shine is perfect and it looks like a professional colour I will defo be buying more topless polish and hope they continue to do more shades in this range

Gorgeous yellow colour, not garish. I have a few of the Topless range - easy to paint and very good coverage. Lasts well. I usually only have mine on for 5 days before I redo as my nails grow so quickly. I still use a base coat and a top coat by nails Inc - force of habit maybe - so can't comment on the longevity or quality without these. I think Nails Inc Topless java fantastic, very inntrend and modern colour collection. Love the high shine particularly, looks professional (finish with 45 Second Topcoat).

Lovely colour but doesn’t last on my nails

Forget all other nail varnishes. This is the one. This really is like a gel polish that you can do at home, without a UV light. At a similar price point to regular varnishes, this gel-like polish is far superior. Easy to put on, glides easily. As with any polish, don't press too hard when applying and don't apply too thick. (Always better to apply multiple thinner coats than fewer thick coats, just trust me!) I found it lasted 2 weeks without chipping at all, which for a regular nail varnish is crazy good. Others chip after like 3-5 days. What I will say (again true for any polish) is you should really let your nails dry between coats. I do one coat after I have my dinner and I'm just going to be sitting watching tv. It's touch dry pretty quickly. Then I wait *overnight* and do the next coat in the morning. Then if it needs a 3rd coat I'll do it around 6pm again. Not everyone has the time to be doing their nails in the morning I get that, but this is what I've worked out to get it to last the longest. I did my mums nails 2 coats about 2 hours between and the coverage was great and lasted just over a week before it chipped (she's constantly gardening, getting her fingers covered in all sorts and using tools, still lasted over a week). So I think this is absolutely worth the money and I'll be buying it in multiple colours!!

I had high hopes for this varnish after loving the Nails Inc Back to Life treatment, so I was excited to try this 1-step gel. The colour is absolutely gorgeous – a perfect coral for spring/summer – and it applies nicely. It also dries fairly quickly, although I’ve found it needs a bit longer than expected to fully set, otherwise you can end up with dents or marks. One thing to note is that if you’re a bit slow applying it, the polish can start to dry on the brush, which can leave drag marks on the nail. The biggest downside (and the reason for 3 stars) is chipping. Within just 3 days – and without doing anything particularly heavy-duty – I noticed chips on most of my nails. I’m hoping this might improve when used with the Nails Inc 45 Second Top Coat I’ve just ordered, but that does defeat the purpose of it being a one-step gel that shouldn’t need a top coat. Overall, I love the colour and the application is decent, but the chipping is disappointing.

Poor durability. Chips in one day. I’ve got the iridescent ones of the same brand & they are good. But this opaque lacquer style doesn’t hold up well at all. Put it on went to bed, then went out to lunch and by the evening had multiple chips. So lasts one day before chipping. Nice colour though. To get any wear I’ve had to re-apply every day for 4 days as it chips everyday since first application. Won’t buy again.

I love this nail polish for toe nails - it’s really long lasting and has a great shine

Beautiful colour and lasts long

I hate nail polish because it just cracks, not this stuff!!! This is the best polish I’ve ever used!!! Hands down! I’m ordering another color! I will start a whole collection of this stuff. I am going to add a picture to my review. This is day four or five of my nails and usually by now they would be 100% chipped. This is just the polish no topcoat and they just started to chip at the very top probably because I do dishes two times a day lol again I absolutely love this polish best one I’ve ever used and I will be starting a collection of these. This is extremely easy to apply it dries very fast. The colors is extremely bold. I also bought it on sale for five dollars, which is insane for a polish of this quality! The color is so bold. I’m literally just floored by this stuff.

This is the best nail polish I have ever used. It must really be gel because it’s not chipping and my nails are not tearing and splitting. For me regular polish just chips off immediately. When I go without anything on my nails they split and tear and do not grow out. I was hooked on the salon gel and dip for quite a while and loved it but this is more practical. It’s light pink so the evenness of the color really doesn’t matter and I can’t comment on that. It looks nice but not as nice as a salon manicure. But you can take it off at home and it doesn’t damage nails like consistent salon manicures can do. My nails are actually growing out past the tips a bit which has never happened with regular polish.

Pros: The color, Sophia, was as hoped and expected. Comes off easily with regular remover. Nails maybe a little stronger than before the polish Cons: It dries very quickly so you have to move quickly. Really not able to repeat brushstrokes - to get better coverage and what not. Chipped the first day and definitely does not have the gel shine. I really wanted this polish to work - the time and money invested is much less, the color is what I've not found in my usual gel - it just didn't live up to the reviews or the claims. I only paid $5 which is reasonable but not for a bottle of polish I'll never use again. The landfill is already overflowing with useless stuff.

I read a recommendation on social media and decided to try it. Love that I only have to put on two coats and I end up with a long lasting polish that looks terrific. Lasted the whole week.

This polish is remarkable! It is truly a one and done polish. And, I have never had a polish last so long. And I am pretty hard on it as I don’t wear gloves when doing dishes or anything else. It just doesn’t chip. Unbelievable!
