786 Cosmetics Halal Nail Polish, Vegan Nail Polish, Cruelty-Free, 11-Free, Halal Nail Polish, Fast-Drying Nail Polish (Top Coat Clear (Shine))

Dries very quick and protects the colored nail polish for few days. Amazing product.

This is a wonderful halal polish option. I was a bit apprehensive but glad I bought anyway. When I put this on my nails, they easily last over a week. As a nail tech and someone who works with kids, I use my hands a lot but these help protect my nails while still allowing me to do my prayers. It is also a perfect topcoat to put over a colored halal polish to help seal everything in like a regular manicure. Excellent longevity and quality. And it doesn’t dry too quickly like other halal polishes, so it’s easier to work with for those who are slower at application. A proper test for water permeability: Get a nonstick silicone surface and make 1-3 patches big enough to put a drop of water on without it spilling over the sides. A 1 layer, 2 layer, and 3 layer patch. Make sure each layer fully dries in between. Then, once fully dry, peel up your 3 patches and place on a paper towel. Put a drop of water on each and see if the paper towel shows signs of moisture after 5 minutes. This will tell you how many layers of polish are water permeable until it’s no longer permeable, or if it’s permeable at all.

Très bien

Colour as described but it’s not glossy it is more matt, definitely needs a top coat

I've read reviews that said breathable polishes were very prone to chipping, and I bought one that chipped (another brand). Then my 786 polish and topcoat arrived and wow! No chipping. I haven't removed it yet (this is the 5th day) so I don't know yet how my nail beds look, healthy or not, but my nails still look great! One note about the topcoat - the brush is quite narrow and doesn't apply enough to cover the nail in one shot; also it doesn't seem to flow well so there are ridges but it's still very protective. The ridges have flattened some by now.

I came across this polish when looking for a cruelty free low toxic brand. I was amazed with the quality compared to the top choice high star reviews of other brands that I have tried. I am in my early 40s and have never been able to grow out my nails EVER!, until I used 786 top clear coat polish. My nails will break if I don't have this specific polish on them. All the other clear coats I've tried come off with every day duties & washing of my hands, even when re-applied each day. I use this polish as a bottom & top coat, above my colored polish when I decide to do colored. If I apply this clear polish every 3-4 days, the color polish underneath will stay on untill I remove it with remover, which I usually do once weekly. This polish doesn't stain or dry out my natural nails at all. It dries quickly. It makes my nails stronger. I am very happy with this product. I hope it will never change and always be available, as I plan to use & recommend it continuously.
