Good stuff
Good top coat. I usually use the newer Essie coat, the two part system (NOT gel) and this
is comparable.

Love this product I have not had my gel nails on now for a while over a year and they were pretty rough, but they’re a lot better and growing out nicely

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply Protective Top Coat?
Apply Protective Top Coat as the final step of your manicure, in one thin, even layer over lakur that has set for 2-3 minutes — sealing everything underneath into a hard, protective shield.
- Final step only: apply after base coat and lakur, once color has set for 2-3 minutes
- Thin, even layer, rather than a thick coat, for the cleanest seal
- Refresh at the first sign of wear, rather than waiting for a full chip, to extend the manicure's life
Sealing in color while building durability is the core job of this final step.
What is Protective Top Coat free from, and what's in it?
Protective Top Coat is formulated 21+ free and vegan, combining a protective cellulose shield with Florium Complex, LONDONTOWN's signature botanical blend, for shine and conditioning care in one formula.
What's Out
- 21+ free: skips 21 of the most commonly flagged ingredients in conventional nail polish
- Gluten-free, paraben-free, and phthalate-free
- Vegan and cruelty-free
What's In
- Cellulose forms the protective shield behind the glossy, salon-level finish
- Florium Complex® layers in rapeseed seed oil, garlic bulb extract, evening primrose flower extract, chamomile extract, cucumber extract, biotin, and vitamins A and E
- Breathable formula lets oxygen and moisture reach the nail plate instead of sealing it off completely
That clean-formulation standard runs through LONDONTOWN's full top coat lineup, so the added durability here never comes at the cost of a cleaner ingredient list.
How is Protective Top Coat different from Gel Genius, High Gloss, and Matte Top Coat?
Protective Top Coat is built as an all-in-one option for shine, strength, and durability, while the other three top coats in the line are each built around a specific finish. All four apply as a final step over lakur and skip the UV lamp, but the priority shifts depending on which one you reach for.
- Protective Top Coat: all-in-one shine and durability, with Florium Complex layered in for fortifying, conditioning care
- Gel Genius Top Coat: plumped, gel-like finish with extended chip resistance
- High Gloss Top Coat: maximum shine, an ultra-reflective, glass-like finish
- Matte Top Coat: soft, no-shine, suede finish
If a well-rounded, everyday top coat is the goal rather than a specific finish, Protective Top Coat is built to be that flexible, do-it-all option.
Does Protective Top Coat help prevent fading and yellowing?
Yes — this is one of the specific problems Protective Top Coat is formulated to address, using vitamins A and E to help guard color against fading and yellowing from light exposure over time.
- Fading and yellowing protection, supported by vitamin A and E content
- Chip and split resistance, from the same protective cellulose shield that gives the top coat its shine
- Best paired with lakur that's been allowed to set for 2-3 minutes before application, so the shield forms evenly across the whole nail
For lakur shades that tend to shift with sun exposure, this added layer of protection sets Protective Top Coat apart from a purely decorative topcoat.
Does Protective Top Coat do anything for nail health, or is it just about durability?
Protective Top Coat is built to strengthen the manicure and support the nail underneath it at the same time.
- Florium Complex® works beneath the protective shield to help nourish nails and support healthier-looking regrowth with continued use
- Biotin and the vitamin A/E blend round out the conditioning side of the formula
