@thenailbabeee: Testing 10 different nail top coats to find the best top coat for nail techs ๐ I focused on what actually matters in real life: โ๏ธ durability (3โ4 week wear test on real clients) โ๏ธ long-lasting shine โ๏ธ stain resistance (hair dye test) โ๏ธ non-yellowing (sun exposure test) If youโre a beginner nail tech or even experienced and still trying to figure out what top coat is actually worth it then this is for you. I didnโt just swatchโฆ I tested these top coats on different fingers, different hands (dominant vs non-dominant) to make sure the results were FAIR. Out of all 10โฆ two stood out for durability + shine: Kinetics + Akzentz But are they really the best top coat overallโฆ? *turn on the notifications for both my Instagram story and my TikTok story because I will be letting you know AS SOON as these topcoats restock!!๐๐๐
But also, at the end of the day- most nail techs should have multiple top coats because every persons needs/lifestyle is different ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ. Missed your reviews! Excited for your Sofgel thoughts

Akzentz is the best! You need to try their other top coats. Crystal clear is stain proof, perfect for hair dressers or cleaning ladies. Luxio gloss is resistant to scratches and ment for pastels, doesnt turn yellow. Shine on is perfect for chromes or dark colours, not light due to the uv it has in it, its porous, it absorbs, so it can stain easily! ๐

Here's the thing though... each finger does different things and had different wear needs. My index finger is always the first to drop shine but thats because of the art I do. We need full hands with the same use similar to how yoy did the UV testing, it was equal to all testing pieces. The different tip coat pee finger is not an accurate test for wear

I love this video. I definitely agree with your ratings and round two would be so fun! I use the Chaun Legend topcoat and it stays shiny after 3 to 4 weeks (for me) but I am curious to see the full test
