Cirque Colors Looking Glass Top Coat Review

Simple is best

Nice top coat. I usually pair it with jelly polish, but in the photo, I’m wearing it on its own—just one layer of Cirque’s Clean Slate Ridge Filler and a layer of the top coat.

Dries quickly!

Looking Glass Topcoat dries so quickly! I have tried many other quick dry topcoats, and this is one of the fastest.

I have tried many other quick dry topcoats, and this is one of the fastest. I do the test where I click two nails together (if they don’t stick together and make a “click” sound, then they are dry). It is a thin formula with a shiny finish. If you want a plumper look, you may want to try two coats.

Okay product

The top coat went on well, but after about 7 days, I found that everything was chipping off.

At first I thought I had a faulty bottle, but now realize that after 3 uses the top coat becomes stringy, thick to work with and hard to use. I have only used my new bottle twice and am finding the very same problem. I use the base coat too and have never had these issues. I also have like 300 bottles of Cirque Colors and the formulas are amazing and easy to work with. I did go to nail school and always prep properly including using thin coats. I also always clean my bottles so I know it is nothing I did wrong. I am disappointed and hope there is something Cirque can work out with me. I hope that you guys perfect this formula better as I have seen the same problem in verbatim from others. Here I created a french manicure and of course used Cirque base coat (love how it is blue by the way). When I emailed Cirque in the past about the top coat, I was told to buy the nail polish thinner. Bought another bottle recently, brand new and same issue:(

It works great with the colors and never seems to “melt” polish the way some other brands do. It’s smooth, slick, and dries relatively quickly. Holds up well on nails. Towards the end of a bottle, it can get a little thick/stringy, and once I got a bottle that was a bit that way from the start, but customer service was excellent and efficient at offering a solution. Their nail polish thinner does the trick!

This is my new fav

This is my new fav top coat! I do a lot of nail art and need a solid clear coat for all the layering. It’s truly a quick dry top coat. I love it, and will try their matte top coat next.

This is a good top

This is a good top coat. It has a nice, shiny finish and is reasonably priced on sale or in a bundle. I prefer my quick-dry top coat and am not likely to repurchase.
