Top Coat Xpress Color Strong Hardener

Yes. The Top Coat Xpress PODERM® is formulated for ultra-fast drying in 30 seconds, making it the fastest top coat in the Color Strong range. This is its main difference from the classic Top Coat and the Top Coat Gel in the same range, which require a standard drying time. It's especially suited to morning routines, quick touch-ups, or any situation where time is tight.

All three top coats in the Color Strong range share the same strengthening actives (Keratin, Biotin, Silicon) and the same formula permeable to PODERM® nail serums, but they differ in their use.

The Top Coat Xpress is the number-one choice when fast drying is the absolute priority: 30 seconds is enough for a protected manicure.

The Top Coat Gel, meanwhile, focuses on an ultra-glossy finish with the domed look characteristic of gel polish, for a more spectacular result but with a standard drying time.

The classic Top Coat is the versatile everyday go-to, with no particular specialty in finish or speed.

Yes. The fast drying time has no impact on the product's strengthening properties. The Top Coat Xpress PODERM® contains the same active complex as the other top coats in the range: Keratin to rebuild the nail plate, Biotin to stimulate resistant regrowth, and Silicon to bring elasticity and strength to the nail. Fragile, soft, ridged or peeling nails fully benefit from its hardening action, whether drying is express or not.

Yes. Removing gel polish or UV gel - filing, acetone, peeling off - weakens and dries out the nail. The Top Coat Xpress PODERM®, thanks to its formula enriched with Keratin, Biotin and Silicon, helps regenerate these damaged nails and protect them from everyday aggressions (water, chemicals, friction). Its express drying is an additional benefit for people transitioning after false nails, who want to simplify their care routine.

Yes. Like all top coats in the Color Strong range, the Top Coat Xpress is formulated with a permeable formula that lets the actives in PODERM® nail serums pass through. You can therefore apply your serums directly over the polish without interrupting your care program, even with polish on.

Apply the Top Coat Xpress as a final layer, over your Color Strong polish or any other color polish. Apply an even coat over the entire nail, sealing the free edge well to maximize wear. The polish is protected within 30 seconds. For enhanced care, then apply your PODERM® nail serums directly on top. If you want a more spectacular gel-effect finish and drying time isn't a constraint, the Top Coat Gel Color Strong PODERM® will be more suitable.

Use the PODERM® Extra Gentle Care Remover, an acetone-free formula that effectively removes polish while leaving nails 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 nudes to bolder shades for special events. Each Color Strong polish can be enhanced with the Top Coat Xpress for ultra-fast drying, the Top Coat Gel for a gel-effect finish, or the classic Top Coat for versatile everyday use.

Yes, the Top Coat Xpress Color Strong PODERM® can be used on both fingernails and toenails. Its express 30-second drying is particularly convenient for toes, which are often harder to keep still while drying. Toenails, subjected to friction inside shoes and to moisture, also benefit from the strengthening action of the Keratin, Biotin and Silicon complex.
