 NOT FOR USE WITH soak off GELSOct 05, 2010
By froginpigtails
WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS, even tho the product info and insructions state on the product that it is for acrylic AND GELS, it actully does not work with SOAK OFF gel products and polish. nail polish and soak off gels are more flexible than the intense seal, so it will crack and peel off and peel your polish right off. I used it on a client after applying soak off gels, and it peeled by next day.
i want the company to make sure this info is put on official product descriptions and instructions.. grrrr

 convenient shineNov 13, 2010
By K. Chipman

IBD Intense Seal does what it says on the package (mostly). It applies like polish over filed acrylic or cured gel and then cures in the gel lamp. IBD Intense Seal is a little runnier than Brisa Gloss topcoat, but they're otherwise very similar in application and curing and you don't have to remove the inhibition layer after IBD Intense Seal. They both have that purple fluorescence that is always cool if you go anywhere with black lights. This product will NOT soak off with acetone, so you have to file the nail enhancement to remove it.
My only problem with this product is that it is brittle. You CAN'T apply it over polish on natural nails (to protect them from polish remover) because the flex of the natural nails will have it crack off. (If you must protect polish on natural nails from chemicals, I would recommend CND Shellac topcoat instead.) IBD Intense Seal will crack off of anything flexible (including too-thin gel or wraps) and after a few days I notice small chips off the sealed free edge of my acrylics. I just smooth the edge of the chip with a file and it wears fine afterwards.
Personally, I don't use Intense Seal on myself any more... I prefer IBD clear gel instead to seal my acrylics because it's not brittle and doesn't chip, but it doesn't feel totally slick like Intense Seal feels. So I still use Intense Seal sometimes on clients for convenience.
So, in summary, if you want to seal acrylic nails, this stuff applies very easily, cures in 2-3 minutes depending on your gel lamp, doesn't need leave an inhibition layer, and stays shiny for weeks. You need a gel lamp to cure it and you have to file it off to remove or fill. It won't work for anything less rigid than acrylic because it's a little brittle.

Great!Aug 11, 2010
By Evangelia Voulgaropoulos
Great Topcoat, but only to be used on acrylics and gels. Does not come off with nail polish remover. Dont use on natural nails. Other than that its a great product.

InterestingNov 28, 2009
By Cherie J. Hepburn
Well, this does cut down on the time you would normally spend buffing nails, that is a good thing. However, it doesn't eliminate the need to do a bit of filing to even out the nail. You also need to use sparingly or it will create a ridge at the base of the nail, by the cuticle, that is as obvious as a poor filing job.
I had one manicurist that tried using it over the top of polish, which had a nice end look, but the polish chipped within a few days and I had to file off the rest of the polish.
I will continue to use the product.

By cheesecake
this product was used on me at a nail salon and i loved it so i decided to buy it... when it was used at salon i got a great shiny finish and my tips were so bright white but when i used it at home the second i pulled my hand out of uv dryer my tips were yellow and i have no idea what went wrong, that has never happened to me before. i don't know if i got a faulty product or what but i did everything the way i was suppose to do to my knowledge...please help me out if anyone knows how to fix the problem, i have read some great reviews about ibd intense seal and i want it to work that way for me.
