For a glitter it is extremely opaque and I got the photographed opacity in three coats. Nice!!! So this is not a top coat, you can really wear this alone. You do have to be mindful of where the hex glitter goes but it's not the most difficult glitter I have applied. It was really a nightmare to remove though. The hex glitter stuck to my nails and I had to buff some of it off. That was annoying. I find that that happens to me sometimes with larger glitter polishes for some reason.
I really like this one. I see myself pulling it out of the good ol' Helmer during the holidays. What do you think of it?
