Love, Angeline's "Topped With Love" Review

 Press Sample / Contest Prize / Giveaway Prize / Purchased By Me 

Hi guys! I hope you're all doing well. I had the honor of testing out a new top coat, and today I have the review for you.

Topped With Love is Love, Angeline's new fast drying top coat. I did 2 manis to test it out and I have to say I'm very impressed with the results. The consistency wasn't too thin or too thick, and it went on smoothly. It gave my manis a beautiful shine and it dried pretty fast. Less than 5 minutes after I applied it, it was dry to the touch. Also, I noticed that it didn't have such a strong or bad smell like others do, and there didn't appear to be any shrinkage.

Here's the first nail art design. I was inspired by some cute sticky note flags I got at Target's dollar spot. I actually posted a picture on my Instagram, you can see it here.

I definitely knew I wanted to do some nail art with acrylic paint to see if the top coat would crack it. The snowman, candy canes and snow were all done with paint. As you can see in the pictures, the top coat did not crack the paint at all. So the acrylic paint doesn't look super glossy after top coating, but it does smooth it out quite a bit and you can't see all the layers of paint I added. I sometimes add 2 coats of top coat to my nail art, and I decided to do that here. The second coat really helped level out the design further and give it some shine.

For my second mani, I wanted to try out the top coat with vinyls. I painted on my base color, top coated and let that dry completely. I placed the vinyls on my nails and brushed on a different colored polish. I removed the vinyls while the polish was still wet and waited a few minutes for the polish to dry a bit. I applied the top coat, and to my surprise, it didn't smear the polish. The top coat added a beautiful gloss to the mani, and just look at the holo shine. I only added one coat to this mani. On my accent nail I added a nail charm. I actually don't have any nail glue so I used a dot of "Topped With Love" to adhere it to my nail. But since the top coat isn't meant to work as a glue, the charm didn't stay on for long.

So overall, I believe this top coat is wonderful. If you're looking for a new top coat, then you might want to give this one a try. It does its job beautifully, and it's now available in Natosha's store. I've linked her store and Instagram below in case you're interested.
