This is truly crystal clear and so easy to use. I always struggled with other brands and had to scrub and scrub to get a true clear but not with this one! I use a soft brush to take excess off and it's good for a second dip or to activate. Really gives my manis the clear encapsulation to let Vivid Glam glitters sparkle! Just get the big size because it's so worth it and it will last a long time! I use vivid and non-vivid dip liquids and the results are the same.
