The Gel Setter formula is slightly thicker, but not gloopy. The drying time is reasonably fast and the overall finish has that gel-like look and glossiness to it; it is also slightly thicker than a regular topcoat which gives the nail that gel like look. I find that my nails seem stronger when I wear this and there is much less tip-wear and fading of the shine with this topcoat.
On my nails today I have
L'Oreal L'Orange, a jelly like orange that takes about three coats to build up to full opacity. The color is a lovely orange, not too crazy nor too neon, it's a perfect orange that I just can't get enough of this summer.
I took the pictures about 5 days into wearing the polish so you can see how well the Gel Setter topcoat performs. Virtually no tip wear and plenty of shine.
