"Base coat dries quickly. Top coat is thick but applies smoothly. It left my nails super glossy and hard/strong much like a professional gel salon manicure. The cuticle oil smells divine and is hydrating. I leave it on for a few minutes then wash my hands so no orange staining. Overall very pleased with this set!" —Candiann
