This really makes your nails hard..
Seems I am always breaking my nails doing things I probably should wear gloves for. I really like that aspect of it, just a little too shiny for my use but the wife loves it.

Shiny and Long Lasting
Have been using this product for several years. Makes my polish stay on longer and the nails shine. Make sure you allow to dry fully.

It works!!!
It works!!! The consistency is nice during application, and the shine, once this top coat dries, is AMAZING! My only complaint is the length of time it takes to dry. Having said that, if the next top coat I try is not as glossy, and doesn’t keep my manicure like Rock does, I will be back!!

Product meets my expectation and then some!
I have used this 3 times now, and am amazed that my nails have remained chip free… I use a lot of products in my hair which causes my hands to be in water a lot of the time….this keeps my nails strong and chip free. I have recommended it to at least 7 of my friends and all have submitted their orders for it. I also used it this week after my professional manicure, I simply came home and added 1 top coat and used my UV lamp to seal it. LOVE IT!

THIS IS THE BEST PRODUCT!!!
This is an awesome product!! You should also by the base coat, and you can by both on this site!! My polish is shiny and lasts for at least 10 days…like a gel finish. I do use a nail dryer as well. DONT waste money and time on gel nails, or gel products!! THIS WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT!! It’s hard to find both products together, so BUY THEM HERE!! You will not be disappointed! I LOVE these products.

I love how quickly it helps dry the nail and they look great. Not good over white, it makes them yellow-y. I thought it was because I used it over top of other colors while still a little wet but a second bottle did the same thing upon opening.

Its a rock alright! There is no doubt! Makes a nice top coat. I did accidentally spill some on my hardwood desk and it chewed through it. YIKES! Don’t spill it.

Best Top Coat Ever….I Would Give It 10 Stars if I Could
What woman doesn’t see another woman with a beautiful manicure (be it natural, gel or acrylic) and not want to drop everything and head to the nearest nail salon. I was one of those woman; however, I am no longer one due to the fact that I got a nail fungus infection this past winter. For a while my nails were blotchy and so soft that they would peel. Like other women, I went and bought nail products that promised to harden my nails and make them grow. Whatever. Just like with other products, it all depends on the person. For me, a product might not work but on another person, they may get the results advertised. I just ended up wasting money on these products as they did not work.I hated looking at my nails because I couldn’t even put nail polish on it to hide the blotches as the polish would chip off after a day or two. I got so desperate that I started looking for vitamins to make my nails grow. That is when I came across Reserveage Keratin Booster (see my review on this product). I started using this but did not see much of an improvement but I think something was happening because now I can use nail polish and my nails are finally starting to grow and the nail fungus seems to have disappeared.This is where this wonderful bottle of Top Coat comes into the picture. In the past when I did my own manicures, there were only two nail polishes that had lasting power on MY nails. The two nail polishes are Avon Nailwear Pro and Revlon Colorstay. I liked the Revlon Colorstay because it came with its own top coat. When I use Revlon (which has been a while) it usually will last 5 to 7 days. However, I have a co-worker who sells Avon and so I now mostly buy and use Avon nail polish. I do like Avon more because of the color selection. They have vibrant and funky colors when I feel like going crazy on my nail polish.I had used Rock Top Coat in the past and remember it being a good top coat so I bought it at Sally Hansens Beauty Supply Store (sorry Amazon). Now all I have to do is slap on two colors of nail polish (I really don’t think the brand matters) and one coat of Rock Top Coat and I dry them under the UV lamp and I am good to go. I have it on right now and I did my nails on Sunday and they still look great. I don’t even worry about being rough on my hands like some woman do because they are afraid of chipping a nail. The previous time I used the Rock Top Coat, it lasted almost 2 weeks with no chipping (THAT IS NO LIE). It started chipping because I knew I had to change colors so I started picking at them.Another time I thought that if I put 2 coats of Rock Top Coat it would last longer but it just made it thicker. You just need one top coat and you are all set. This little bottle will last for quite a few manicures and you will save tons of money that you spend at the salon on fake nails and a tip to the manicurist. However, there are some people that prefer the convenience of having someone else do their nails (not me) so they don’t mind paying. But for those on a budget, try this top coat but I would strongly encourage spending at least $50 bucks on a UV lamp because that does harden the top coat to a shiny gloss that won’t chip. Try it and see for yourself. From glancing at other reviews, you will note that most are satisfied with this top coat. Most top coats promise not to chip but they always chip within the first few days. With Rock Top Coat, I can say that it last over 5 days and for some women (like me) that is good enough. I just want to have professional looking nails during the work week. I could care less if they chip on the weekend but still I don’t have to worry because it last at least a week if not more.

If you have the patience for the dry time, it’s the best I’ve found.
I did not purchase this though Amazon, but it is my go to top coat for my nails and especially my toes. I gave this a rating of 4 because as other reviewers have mentioned it takes for ever to dry. My manicurist’s and my lamps don’t get the job done. The manicurist has a blow dryer on her lamp and it has trouble setting.This isn’t an issue with my pedicure and that lasts forever.When I see the manicurist, I normally have her finish with the polish and do the topcoat at home so I can sit on the back porch for 15 to 30 minutes. I live in the south ample sunshine is regularly available. Do not touch anything for quite a while and I don’t recommend thick or 2 coats. Do not use if you’re going to bed within a few hours. When I take the time my manicure lasts 2 weeks.If I’m in a hurry I have Seche Vite as a backup.It gives a depth to polishes/

If you want your manicure to last for a week, raise your hand…
One of the reason’s why I could never keep my nails consistantly looking good is because the stupid nail polish would chip/peel after a day or so. It didn’t matter if I used expensive foo-foo department store nail polish or the stuff that promises to stay on your nails till death does you apart by acetone. And you know once that darn polish starts peeling, it’s impossible to just leave the rest alone. I think we all have a fetish with peeling things and we just can’t let it be. My problems also gets compounded by the fact that I have been a nail biter since my embryo days, and the only way I show mercy to my nails is if they are manicured. So one day I ask this girl at Sally’s Beauty Supply store to recommend a good topcoat that will preserve my manicure for at least 3 days. She recommended Rock Top only because of what it said on the bottle (last 5x times). I thought for sure it was a gimmick, just like all those stupid diet pills that lie to your FACE on the bottle. Still, I had nothing to lose. Sally’s has a very dumb-person friendly return policy. So, I purchased it and used it with those little $1 ‘Sally Girl’ nail polishes. I also use Magic Nail nail strengthener and that has really helped too. I was shocked when after the third day, my polish had not chipped or peeling. I mean NOTHING! On day four, the tips of my a couple of my nails (right hand index eye poker finger and my right foul gesturing middle finger) started to show tiny evidence of nail polish wear, but it still wasn’t peeling or chipping. Finally on the sixth day I got bored of the polish and wiped it off. I thought if was a first time fluke, but Rock Top has consistently maintained my manicure. Oh, and it dries pretty fast too and works well with all polishes. Actually, my favorite polish is the $1 tiny bottle ‘Sally Girl’. That manicure lasts through dishwashing, putting on too-tight jeans, cat fights, and even gardening. I highly recommend it. If you have a Sally’s Beauty Supply store near you, buy it from them. It’s the same price. If for some reason it lets you down (it won’t…), you can return it, get your $7 back and just be happy with the nude look on your nails.

I like that about this top coat
I have very mixed feelings about this product. The three stars come from the fact that it does indeed, as promised, dry very quickly! I like that about this top coat. And the shine it gives your nails is nice too. But my issue is this: i painted my nails on Sunday, reapplied another coat on Monday, then on Tuesday when I was getting in my car and buckling up my finger slightly hit the plastic part of the buckle….it wasn’t even a hard hit….but when i looked down at my hand i realized that that little baby knock had knocked OFF a good fourth of the polish of my finger! What?! With two coats of this stuff, one of which was very recent?? I shrugged that off and just touched up that nail when I got home and reapplied more of this top coat to the rest of my fingers. Then the next day I was in the shower and realized that when i was washing my hair, my fingers were snagging in my locks. So I pull my hands out to see that on two fingers (one on each hand) the polish was literally peeling back! Ugh….I don’t know….I don’t even think i’m all that hard on my hands. And I ALWAYS paint against the edge of the tip too as well as under for extra strength. So I’m not really saying i dislike the product…i’m going to continue to use it, in fact, but this week i’m going to try using it by combining it with Sally Hansen’s “hard as nails” crystal clear top coat. Crystal Clear dries super fast and is very hard, but it chips. Maybe if I paint this on and then cover it with Rock, things will work out? *shrug* nothing wrong with giving it a try**And a side note: This is not a good top coat if you like to do nail stamping art. This did not effect my rating of the product because this does not advertise itself for nail stamping. but i decided to try it and i waited until my nails were good and dry….when i applied this top coat, my design smudged on three different fingers. just a friendly warning to anyone who loves nail stamping and want to use this top coat

Didn’t last for me
I’m a mom of two toddlers and wash my hands and theirs sooo many times. I was hopeful for this but no, it doesn’t even last 24hrs for me. I do let it dry by itself or under the sun, no UV. But I’m not sure if makes any difference. I don’t recommend this.

Review
I tried this product for a week. Used it as a base and top coat. After just two days I broke a nail. My nails were still very flexible with this product on. I got better results from Sally Hanson’s hard as acrylic silk wraps. I used it as a base and top coat for two weeks, and didn’t crack or break a nail. So don’t wast your money on Hard as a rock x5.

Disappointed
Had used European Secrets “No Chip” for years. It was the best! Now I can’t find it anywhere, so decided to try their other product “Rock Top Coat.” Used it last night over my polish, and in less than 24 hours my polish is chipping. What a waste of $11.00.

Great Top Coat
I had used this product many years ago and then kind of forgot about it when I started going to the nail salon. Thanks to COVID, I started doing my own nails again. I saw all the negative reviews on here, so I was a little apprehensive about ordering but decided to give it a shot since there were plenty of positive reviews as well. This product arrived early and I had no issues with the packaging or the brush. It is exactly as I remember it and has quickly become my favorite top coat once again!

No different than regular top coat
I’m hard on nails. I’m a writer, so I spend much of my day on a keyboard. I also like to do my nails…and for years I’ve been on the quest for a great too coat. Unfortunately, The Rock wasn’t it. I tried it several times…layered it…and even tried one hand The Rock, one hand Sally Hanson…really…no different. The Rock lasted an extra day…but it was on my left hand, and I’m right handed, so that might be why.

This top coat kept my nails from chipping for a couple days, then it started cracking toward the top of my nails, causing the polish to flake off. Also, it starts turning the colored polish into a dingy, less vibrant shade of its original color. I thoroughly regret buying this

This is AMAZING
This is such a GOOD top coat! With an emphasis on good! I buy this regularly at Sally’s, some people say it takes forever to dry. I disagree, but I have an LED lamp which I use to speed up the drying process but often times I’m too lazy to use it (you don’t need one though). My biggest tip with this is to let your nails dry outside, I do this with all of my nail polish though. I find that painting my nails and then going outside and letting them dry in the sun does an AMAZING job to speed up the process. Buy this and if you don’t have an LED lamp let your nails dry in the sun and I swear you’ll have nails that look like they’re from the salon!

Awesome Top Coat! Favorite by far!
I absolutely love this top coat! I have not purchased it through Amazon, however I have thought about it, until I noticed that it was a but pricier then where I normally get it. I have purchased mine from Sally Beauty Salon, and it is a very reasonable price. I have also heard that they have good deals on it at times!I love this top coat, as it shines so bright, and looks like the job of a professional! I actually had someone ask me if I got my nails done professionally multiple times after using this top coat.The top coat dries fairly fast, but I am a perfectionist, so I always wait 30-60 minutes for my second coat of polish to dry before I apply the Rock top coat. I live in the midwest, so I don’t have the year round option to dry it in the sun. I have had no problems letting it dry and having great nails, even without a UV lamp or sitting outside in the sun. The Rock is usually dry to the touch after about 5 minutes, but I usually wait 45 minutes before I touch anything (again, I’m a perfectionist, so I don’t want to risk having to do my nails all over again the next day!).I am planning to purchase a UV lamp, and after doing some research, have heard that the top coat only takes 2-3 minutes to cure when used with a UV lamp.I have absolutely NO complaints about this product, as it has help up to my expectations, as well as exceeded them. I can’t wait to see how awesome it works with the UV lamp.

GREAT SHINE, but takes too long to dry
This is by far the best top coat for SHINE. OMG…the best shine ever. I haven’t used a top coat that gives this much shine. BUT…it takes FOREVER to dry. Which is why I cannot use it any more. I’ve given up. I always mess up my nails using this.

It’s ok
I purchased this after reading rave reviews. It’s ok….. it does make regular polish last a little longer, but not a week or more. I used it in conjunction with the base coat and a UV lamp. After two days my nails were chipping at the top. However, I am rough on my hands, they are constantly washed and exposed to cleaning chemicals. I use this on my toes and definitely do feel like it makes the polish last longer.

Miracle product!
I’m a nursing assistant at a busy hospital, and the job is hard on my nails. Before buying Rock top coat, a manicure would only last 24 hours before either chipping or peeling. I read about this item and decided I just had to try it. It’s a miracle! The first time I used it, my manicure lasted more that FOUR days, and that’s with being really rough on my nails. The only reason it didn’t last longer was because I had accidentally spilled some nail polish remover on my hands while doing someone else’s nails. I can’t believe I finally found a top coat that makes my nails look beautiful AND lasts!

Great shine & strength
I just rediscovered this product again after I bought it a yr & a half ago & forgot about it (I bought it elsewhere). I didn’t initially like the thin consistency as a topcoat, but now I use it as a refresher on top of a few-days-old manicure to give great long-lasting shine & hardness. It has a stronger off-putting odor than usual topcoats & nail polish, but I’ll gladly tolerate it for the shine. I am a shine freak when it comes to manicures, & this product is fantastic for that. Doesn’t dull quickly like other topcoats tend to do.

This top coat dries quickly without UV light. It doesn’t chip easily. At times I prefer this than gel nails because it is easier to change the polish, less time, and less money. It lasts for more than a week, even two weeks (assuming you don’t bite or pick at your nails). I don’t have an issue with it. It works great for me and I love the shine it gives!
