Review: Majolica Majorca Glass Drop Gel Top Coat

Hi guys! I'm back. Sorry for the little hiatus, I was busy with school and I didn't feel like making the reviews cause they kept on piling up! Haha. But I'm keeping up and I'll be posting a lot of  reviews from now on. .Anyway, I'm reviewing another Majolica Majorca product. They came up with a line called Glass Trick on the winter of 2011 and this is one of its products. I'm going through this crazy nail art sticker phase and I need a heavy duty(haha) top coat cause I use my hands a lot so my nail polishes easily chip on me. 

Gel manicures are very popular here in Japan because they last longer on the nails, plus they're glossier. I bought a gel top coat before but I didn't realize that I also needed to get the UV lamp, so I didn't use it anymore. However, this caught my eye cause I saw the "gel coat" part of the its name, but it doesn't necessarily tell that you need to finish it with UV light. 

The writings at the back translates:

• Can be used as a top coat for nail varnishes.
• Can be removed with regular polish remover. 

Majolica Majorca packaging is the best of them all. They look like little potion bottles!

I painted it once on top of my lilac nail polish. Please excuse the bad condition of my middle finger nail, I have a bad habit of fidgeting with my hang nails. Spare me. It looks super glossy and the consistency is really thick, kinda gel-like. 

After three days, it started to chip on me! Although it was still a little bit shiny, the ends chipped a lot, as you can see.. and this is my left hand! I am right handed but this chipped way more than the other hand's polish.

I painted my right hand with a regular quick dry top coat from a 100 yen shop and I think it did a better job on preventing chipping. It wasn't as glossy but it kept the nail polish intact. I also coated them only one. 

Final Verdict

2/5

I was a disappointed with this "gel" top coat. I expected more since Majolica Majorca products are always high quality and they live up to their claims, but this one didn't. I think it's called glass drop GEL top coat because it imitates the glossy appearance that a regular gel manicure gives, but not certainly not the duration of it on the nails. My Canmake top coat gave better results than this, and it was a tad cheaper! 

I used a few of the rubber nail stickers that I bought and this is how it looked like! I retouched the nail polish and topped it with my favorite 100 yen top coat first, and then the Majolica Majorca Glass Drop Gel Top Coat(that was a handful of words) to give the pretty glass look to it.
