Nails Inc Albert Bridge High Gloss Quick Dry Topcoat

[sara999]

you can buy this for £11 at an nails inc supplier (i think it might be UK only though...not 100% certain).

i bought this after seeing a variation on this particular topcoat on All Lacquered Up (she bought the verison with Caviar called Kensington Caviar..i figured i would save a few £ by getting the NON caviar version [plus caviar in my nail polish sounded kinda freaky!!!]) but i am SO DISAPPOINTED. what a waste of money! in theory it is supposed to be dry to touch in 45 seconds and completely dent-proof within 45 minutes. which is a long time but i'm not that bad with my nails..i guess.

so i used it once...and i had horrbile results. smudge marks, bed prints..i thought i just did it wrong. so i applied it again (thin coats) AND added drip dry drops....15 minutes later still dentable...so i just sat in the living room and watched movies from 7pm to midnight thinking that it would definitely be dry and everything would be fine. i wake up the next morning and my fingers are smudged from the sheets. FIVE HOURS!? seriously. this stuff NEVER DRIES!!!!!!!


definitely a NEVER PURCHASE AGAIN!!!


(however i did like that it never thickened..sometimes topcoats can get pretty goopy and need thinner)

Funny you should post this, because I remember reading your comment on ALU. No polish, quick dry or not should be dentable after seven hours.

Aaarrggh, just seen this thread and completely agree with you! I got the Albert Bridge in one of the treatment boxes you can pick up that have a base, four-way buffer and cuticle oil in and it is awful! Totally wrecked my manicure and left really rubbish looking dent marks

Bummer... maybe caviar really IS the secret to making it work? ;p
