Top Coat Gel Color Strong Hardener

The PODERM® Color Strong range offers three top coats, each addressing a specific need.

The Gel Top Coat stands out for its ultra-glossy finish with the characteristic domed gel look: it's the ideal choice if your priority is a result worthy of a salon manicure.

The Xpress Top Coat shares the same hardening active ingredients but focuses on fast drying, perfect for busy routines.

The classic Top Coat, meanwhile, is the versatile everyday reference. All three formulas contain Keratin, Biotin, and Silicon, and are permeable to PODERM® nail serums.

Yes. The texture and formula of the PODERM® Gel Top Coat are specially designed to recreate the domed, ultra-glossy look of gel polish without requiring a UV lamp or curing unit. It's an ideal alternative for anyone wanting a professional finish at home, without the constraints of a semi-permanent manicure.

Yes, this is actually one of its main uses. Repeated application of semi-permanent polish or UV gel can alter the nail's surface, drying it out and weakening it. Thanks to Keratin, Biotin, and Silicon, the PODERM® Gel Top Coat helps strengthen these damaged nails while protecting them from future aggressions (water, household products, chemical contact).

Absolutely. The PODERM® Gel Top Coat has been formulated to be permeable, allowing the active ingredients in PODERM® nail serums to pass through. You can therefore continue your care routine over the polish without reducing its effectiveness. This is a particularly valuable benefit with the Gel Top Coat, whose thicker texture could otherwise have formed a watertight barrier with a different formula.

Apply the Gel Top Coat as a final layer, over your Color Strong polish or any other color polish. Apply an even layer over the entire nail, sealing the free edge well to maximize wear. Let it dry completely. If you're often in a hurry, the PODERM® Color Strong Xpress Top Coat with fast drying will be better suited to your daily routine. For optimal care results, then apply your PODERM® nail serums directly on top.

Use the PODERM® Extra Gentle Care Nail Polish Remover, an acetone-free formula that effectively removes polish while leaving the nail glossy and nourished. Unlike classic removers that dry out and dull the nail, this remover respects the nail's surface and follows the same care philosophy as the entire Color Strong range.

The Color Strong range includes 12 vibrant colors suited to every occasion, from everyday nude shades to bolder tones for special events. Each Color Strong polish can be enhanced with the Gel Top Coat for a gel-effect finish, the Xpress Top Coat for fast drying, or the classic Top Coat for versatile everyday use.

The long-wear formula of the PODERM® Gel Top Coat is designed to significantly extend how long your polish lasts. For nails exposed to significant stress (frequent water contact, household products), a touch-up coat midweek helps maintain protection and shine. If fast drying matters more than the gel effect in your daily routine, the Color Strong Xpress Top Coat is an alternative worth considering.
