✨🥊Which is the Clearest & Shinest Topcoat that I have in my Studio | Battle of the Brands🥊✨

Hi Guys
Welcome to the Kirsty and Adam Show, today we are doing a Battle Of The Brands!
I'm testing the 12 topcoats I have to see which one is the best, I ended up picking my 4 favourites to go on the leaderboard but that's a good range I think. Do you agree? Is there anything we missed? What should we test next? Let us know in the comments.
When picking a top coat you wanna look for clarity mainly, you need that design to shine through, and shine if it's not a matte top coat. A thinner top coat will apply easier but it will highlight all of the dips in the nail but a thicker top coat is more prone to peeling. Test out a few but this shows my favourite out of the ones I have. Great packaging is also a must, it's gotta look pretty on the desk!
I hope you enjoyed this video, don't forget to like and subscribe.

    Very disappointed about some of the comments on this video.

    Please don’t let the few bad apples stop your reviews, the rest of us find them very helpful 😘 One I’d love to see would be a comparison of no-wipe topcoats, as to their ability to “absorb” powders. I’ve come across some that powders were see through or plain wouldn’t stick - and others that are so good I didn’t need to top coat them, lol.

    I don’t even have long nails as I play an instrument, but I religiously watch Kirsty and Adam’s vids because the talent, advice and honesty are outstanding. I love what you do and if I needed a top coat I’d surely know which one to buy now! Thank you👏🏼👏🏼

    Please try the Young Nails stain resistant top coat on Fay. I'm so curious to see how it holds up with her tanning and all that.

    Love these from an independent and qualified point of view. Can you test nail foil glue please? So many people have issues with getting full coverage nail foil.

    Yes! More battle of the brands would be amazing! I'm somewhat new to the nail world and there's no nail version of Sephora/Ulta (that I know of) so stuff like this will help tremendously with discovering new brands. If you don't mind trying out more brands from outside the U.K., I would love to see what your opinion is on Kiara Sky's products. There's a lot of great nail techs on KZread, but I honestly value your opinion the most out of everyone.

    This was very informative, I hope you do make a series of different products it will save us all from buying stuff we can’t use. I learned a few things too, like why some crack, which thickness to use for type of nail. As always thank you Kirsty…..Adam too :)

    The top coat from Crystal Nails is literally the best one i’ve ever used 🤍 it’s a thicker top coat but this one never ever chipped on me 🥰

    I think Kirsty has the best packaging in the business! Kiara Sky is smart about it too tho. From the Nail as well. Close 4th I’d give to Glitterbels.

    What I have learned is that one will never make anything correct for everybody. Just continue doing what you are doing. I love every one of your videos.

    I'm sad I didn't see modelones or beetles in there, especially since their both pretty popular brands. Oh well, I guess we cannot expect you to have every brand available. Thanks for the comparison, even if it's brands that I cannot really afford at this time.
