Shine UV Topcoat by butter LONDON is a quick-drying, ultra-glossy top coat with UV protection that seals color, resists chips, and delivers a salon-quality, smudge-free finish at home.

Bring professional polish performance to your routine with a lightweight top coat designed to lock in color and boost shine. This fast-drying formula creates a protective gloss layer that helps slow color fading from sun exposure while giving nails a durable, high-shine surface. Free from harsh toxins and never tested on animals, it fits into a clean-beauty manicure ritual without sacrificing long-lasting wear.

How fast will my manicure dry with this top coat?

The Shine UV Topcoat is formulated to dry quickly so you can get back to your day with minimal smudging. Drying time varies by application thickness and ambient conditions, but thin, even coats dry noticeably faster than heavy layers.

• Apply one thin layer for fastest results.
• Allow 60–120 seconds between application and light handling.
• Use over fully cured polish for best chip resistance.

Will this top coat help prevent my polish from fading?

Yes — the formula includes UV-protective ingredients meant to shield pigments from sun-induced dulling. While no top coat can make color permanent, this product slows discoloration and maintains a fresher-looking shade longer than an unprotected finish.

• UV protection reduces yellowing and fading from sunlight exposure.
• Seals color to minimize gradual dulling between touch-ups.
• Reapply every several days to extend vibrancy.

How do I use Shine UV Topcoat for the longest-lasting manicure?

For best longevity, start with a clean nail, use a base coat, apply two thin color coats, then finish with this top coat. Make sure edges and tips are sealed to guard against lifting and chips.

• Prep: remove oils and residue before painting nails.
• Base: apply a priming basecoat for improved adhesion.
• Finish: swipe top coat across free edge to lock tips.
