I have been buying this product for years! I never use a top coat anymore, just a few drops of this. Can be a bit messy but it doesn't visually dry to the skin around my toenails and it lasts! I have never used it on my fingers so I don't know how well the wearablilty is. I have a little bottle that has a dropper that I just refill, so I would definitely recommend getting a bottle with a dropper and having this one as a refill or just getting the dropper to use with this bottle.
