Best Combination Nail Base & Top Coats of 2025

"I find this product perfect for beginners who just started doing nails at home. It cured very fast, and the whole set comes with a step-by-step guide. It’s packed with everything needed and really worth the money."

"I've been using this gel set for a while, and the gels are amazing! They level beautifully and provide great coverage. Plus, I've experienced no chipping or peeling for two weeks, which is impressive!"

"I’ve tried multiple brands, but this one stands out for its polish consistency and quality. It applies smoothly without streaks, and the smell is quite mild. I’m thrilled with this product and highly recommend it!"

"To save money, I started doing my own gel nails at home. I'm so glad I found this brand. It's inexpensive and easy to apply. The nails are so shiny and lovely. I've tried about 5 different colors now and just ordered more! I highly recommend!"

"I've always had paper thin nails that bend easily. After hearing about nail builder polish, I rushed to find this set. The reviews were mixed, so I watched a tutorial first. I LOVE this stuff! I apply a thin layer of the builder and then a thicker layer, finishing with the top coat. My nails have grown stronger and haven’t broken at all in the past month!"

"I got this 3-pc gel manicure set and I've been using GAOY products for a while. The nail strengthener caught my eye because my nails are typically thin and brittle. After using it, I can confidently say it works very well! The base coat prevents chipping, and the no-wipe top coat makes everything easier. My nails look so shiny and nice!"

"This top and base coat are exactly what I needed! They apply beautifully and the brushes are of great quality. The bottles are larger than other brands I've used, making them a great value."

"I've been using this brand for two years and it saves me a lot of money on salon visits. Definitely worth every penny!"

"I tried this for the first time and I really like it. The texture is just right—not too thick or runny."

"I always prefer OPI. They produce quality products, and I absolutely loved this neutral color."

"I apply this daily. It goes on clear, doesn't pick up red polish, and protects my nails. Dries quickly on natural nails, and while it takes a bit longer over polish, it still performs well. My nails have improved drastically!"

"Having never had a professional manicure, I asked salon technicians for recommendations. They strongly suggested OPI. I found it on Amazon, and it applies evenly, providing great coverage without chipping."

"I don't typically write reviews, but this top coat truly works as promised. My previous experiences with brands like Sally Hansen left me disappointed; I often found dents in my polish days later. After doing some research, I discovered this product and was thrilled with its reasonable price and high recommendations. Now, I enjoy painting my nails, and they last longer, especially if I wrap the tips. Despite its strong smell and a somewhat concerning chemical label, I highly recommend it!"

"After reading about the top beauty products, I had to try the Seche Vite fast dry top coat. Living abroad, I found it for about $5 on Amazon, which is a steal! The application is smooth and easy, and my nails were completely dry in under 5 minutes. This product has completely transformed my DIY nail routine!"

"I bought this set after seeing someone rave about it online, and I was not disappointed. The consistency is perfect, and I’m getting twice the wear on my manicures. I have no complaints and would absolutely recommend it!"

"I was really struggling with my GX Nails not sticking, but this product worked wonders! It's incredibly easy to use. After a week, my nails are still intact despite my rough lifestyle."

"Having done nails for over 20 years, I can confidently say this is one of the best products I've ever used for lifting acrylics and gel polish. Highly recommend it!"

"As a beginner, I found this bundle to be amazing and the results were fantastic right from the start!"

“I absolutely adore this top coat by OPI. It provides a brilliant shine, dries quickly, and significantly extends the wear of my nail polish, especially when paired with a base coat.”

“I was genuinely surprised by how much OPI improved this product. The new version not only offers a polished look but also lasts a minimum of two weeks without chipping. It’s so impressive that people think I had my nails done professionally!”

“This top coat is hands down the best I’ve ever used. The gorgeous shine and thin formula make it feel like a true topcoat, minimizing shrinkage and extending wear to 7-9 days for me. A bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it!”

"I started doing my own nails and after trying different methods, I found builder gel and I'm absolutely obsessed! It used to take forever to get my nails perfect, but now it takes me half an hour or less. I can create a salon look for under $10 that lasts over 2 weeks. Plus, it makes my press-ons thick and strong. I always keep it stocked!"

"After trying this brand, I noticed the difference immediately. Beetles gel is so much easier to work with; it’s not sticky and dries quickly under the LED light. I'm really impressed with how well it holds up!"

"I decided to try this gel polish after some research, and so far, I have had no complaints. It’s been beginner-friendly, dries quickly, and has extended my polish's wear time from just a week to over three weeks!"

"I absolutely love this polish! It works well as both a top and bottom coat, especially for the price point. I used it with a very cheap polish in the middle and it had minimal cracking for A WEEK AND A HALF, which is the best I have ever seen from home air dry polish. 10/10 worth the money."

"After trying countless brands over 40 years, this is the only one that makes my nail polish last six days. It finally starts to chip on day six, so I redo it on day seven. The drying time is pretty fast, but I recommend being careful for about an hour after applying the topcoat. It’s truly miraculous!"

"I saw a YouTuber recommend this because it dries quickly, and I'm glad I did! I’ve ordered it multiple times since. It makes my nails hard, prevents chipping, and dries quickly. I always get compliments on my nails; people think I get them done professionally!"

“I absolutely love Jodsone as my go-to base and top coat for gel manicures. It ensures my nails look great for 3+ weeks. I highly suggest switching to it if you haven't yet!”

“This base and top coat polish works well with my other gel polishes. The bottle shape is adorable, and it dries quickly under my UV light, making it a great value.”

“I was disappointed that after applying my regular polish, the top coat took 2 hours to dry! I was stuck waiting and couldn't do anything without ruining my nails. I won’t be buying this again!”
