This water based topcoat can be used over 

  • stamping for a smear free finish
  • foils with no crinkling 
  • holo polishes with no loss of holo flame 
  • pigments and powders

This product has a thin consistency which is strange at first. It's a bit like milk! Aim to wipe all excess product from the brush (as in a dry brushing technique) and to apply a thin coat.

  • dries quickly
  • applies easily
  • long wearing 
  • economical thin consistency

Adequate by itself but if you wish you can add your regular topcoat over it.

Check out this review from Olivia Jade nails showing use over foil for a flawless finish.

FAQs

How do you make nail polish?!!
This is the question I am asked the most! Just like a baker uses flour, eggs, sugar, butter etc to make cakes and desserts, I use "raw" ingredients such as a lacquer base, solvent stable tints, mica and glitters to formulate my own polishes.

Where is the store based?
Hervey Bay, Australia

What currency is the site in?
All prices are in Australian dollars                                                                     

What is this store's return and exchange policy?
Due to the nature of the product I do not accept returns. While I have made every effort to display as colour accurate photos as possible there are colour variations in diferent monitors. If in doubt please also read the description of the colour.
If there is any problem with your order please don't hesitate to contact me, customer satisfaction is my priority. If an item arrives damaged, please email me with a photo within 3 days of delivery for a replacement or a refund. Replacement items will be the same colour.

Do you accept international orders?
I can ship internationally, but to ship a few bottles according to dangerous goods regulations is quite expensive. I can however ship stamping plates and pigments worldwide. Please get in touch through the "Contact us" tab.

International stockists are:

Beautometry (US, ships internationally) 

Lantern and Wren (US)

OMG Beauty (NZ, ships to New Zealand)

How long will it take to receive my order? 
Orders are processed within 3-5 working days, once shipped they take anywhere from 2 to 10 business days to arrive depending on where you live. Orders to Western Australia can take up to a week. Orders to Eastern states are much quicker.

Can the stamping polishes be used as a regular polish?
Yes they can, but they have been formulated specifically for stamping and to be as opaque as possible. You may find that the thicker formula is not that easy to apply as regular polish and they may chip relatively easily. They do however work well for gradients with only one or two layers needed for opacity.

I’m using this top coat for EVERYTHING- acrylic, gel and as a normal nail polish top coat. It’s really holds everything in and protects nails from chipping.

Smear Free? Yes Please!!!

Water Tight Top Coat was something I purchased to try out and is now something I use in every single set I stamp! Because I sandwich my nail art with nail lacquer and gel, I struggled with the gel top coat, in particular matte ones smearing my precious stamping - I started using Water Tight Top Coat and haven't looked back! Every time I use it I can see how it enhances the look of foils and pigments, sealing them in without distorting their colour which works really well as sometimes a gel topcoat can distort pigments. If you want no fuss and have experienced the frustration of smeared stamping - this one will become a staple in your nail art arsenal!

This top coat will amaze you!

I’ve been using this top coat for a while now and it still amazes me. It can be applied almost immediately over nail art and will keep it crisp without smudging. You use very little with its runny consistency. It’s so easy to apply and has a super smooth finish. Although others recommended applying a regular top coat over Water Tight to lengthen the wear on their mani, I’ve had surprisingly long wear when I’ve just used this top coat. Love it.

Makes locking in nail art so easy!

I am super impatient when it comes to leaving my nail art long enough before top coating it, so the amount of times I've smeared a perfectly good design is countless. But this top coat makes everything so easy, I was so impressed when I saw how well it worked.
I use this on top of nail art and wait for it to dry (maybe 5 to 10 minutes) and then I seal everything with a glossy top coat.
This has definitely earned it's place in my nail art must haves!

It really works!

This top coat does exactly what is says, for the first time ever I've had absolutely no smearing of my stamped designs. It does feel strange to use such a thin formula with the bristles actually touching the nail instead of 'floating', but the stamping comes out perfect and clean. Because it's so thin it still dries very quickly even though it's not a 'quick dry' formula, and dries perfectly clear. The only thing I found was you need to be careful to make sure you're applying it evenly for a smooth finish. I used this under Varnish Without a Trace for extra protection and shine, but you could certainly use it by itself.
I will definitely buy this again, I will be using this a lot for all my stamping and other delicate nail art. Looking forward to trying it with foils and holos!

Glad you like the topcoat Emma, it certainly is a game changer! Thank you for your review.
