The Glass Finish: 5 Non-Toxic Top Coats Worth Your Money
Because what is the point of a flawless paint job if it chips the second you reach into your Prada bag? We tested them all. Here are the elite few.
Rank#1
Les Mains Hermès Top Coat
Best Overall Luxury
Yes, it is absurdly expensive. Also yes, it is completely worth it. This top coat gives a gel-like plumpness without the UV lamp, and it cures in natural light. It’s 10-free, vegan, and the bottle doubles as vanity art.
Dries in under 3 minutes.
Insane mirror-like shine.
Brush perfectly hugs the cuticle.
Rank#2
Olive & June Super Glossy
Best Drugstore/Mid-Tier
If Hermès is the Birkin, Olive & June is the reliable, chic everyday tote. It extends the life of a regular polish by at least 5 days and protects against yellowing.
