SecheVite Dry Fast Top Coat - .5 fl oz

I tried this top coat because I'm constantly messing up my nails. I actually USE my hands - at work, at home, at the gym, digging through my purse, or whatever. Not only was I able to all those things within minutes after applying this product, but my nails look super shiny and feel very strong. I recently removed acrylic nails, which left my natural nails ridged and damaged, and this top coat camouflages the imperfections.

Totally with the impulse purchase! I hate painting my nails because it seems like no matter how long I wait or what products I use, my nails ALWAYS seem to smudge. This delivers on its promise! Smooth application and truly dries quickly.

Nail polish dries very fast. Usually my polish chips in a few days but using this it lasts for a week.

Best top coat I have used. Day 3 and no chipping!

This topcoat really is the best. It makes my mediocre painting skills look professional. It spreads evenly, dries fast and gives a glossy shine. It protects paint from chipping. Best top coat I have used.

Helps keep polish safe after application and dry fasterBut pricey

Holy cow. This stuff really works! I was skeptical, but wanted to give it a shot, because I absolutely HATE it when I mess up my nails by doing something too quickly after painting them. I applied this over tacky polish, and within a minute I felt comfortable using my hands. It dried completely and my nails were totally protected!

I purchased this Seche Vite top coat from amazon about two - three months ago. I wanted to use it for awhile to give the best review possible.For starters. I used to have such problems with nail polish. I could literally paint my nails and sit for 30+ minutes and then THREE-FOUR HOURS later go to bed and wake up with sheet marks/imprints all over the place. Being a recovering perfectionist, it drove me nuts to spend all that time painting my nails to have it destroyed by smudges and nicks and you name it, even hours later. Who has that many hours to be careful with your nails? I constantly was touching something that destroyed my nails.This product truly fixes that problem. Within 15 minutes (sometimes less!) of painting my nails, it's dry and I can touch it and not worry. I can even go digging around in my purse. It looks pretty flawless with this glassy top coat. I no longer get sheet marks. I've changed my nail polish about every week and I'm able to do that because I can get it done in 20-30 minutes total with base coat, color coat, and this top coat without taking such a huge chunk of time.Now you do have to be realistic with yourself. If you impale a nail on something hard and metallic after painting it or something it still can leave some imprint, and showering or having your nails in hot water soon after will soften the polish and leave you vulnerable to dents and nicks. But that aside, you really can do just about anything without worrying too much within 15 minutes and by 20-30 you should be pretty solid for typically manicure destroying tasks (even dishes). Again be realistic, thin coats will dry better. If you gob on a ton of nail polish and a ton of the top coat it will take longer to set and you might goof them up and be disappointed.It holds up pretty well for a good week possibly more. And let me tell you my nails go through hell. I work retail and I'm constantly taking security sensor tags with pointy pins off clothing and grabbing handfuls of plastic sensors at night to put them away into our backstock. We also have hangers with metal clips (like for pants, skirts, etc) and again I have to go digging around in bins of those and am constantly banging and scratching up my nails. The top coat may get a little scratched on the surface but I haven't had ANY major chips or nicks and it's held up really well. One day I even felt my nails were starting to look scratched up and a customer complimented how great and shiny my nails looked (go figure). I've also had people ask me if I got one of those gel manicures professionally done! Nope, all this great little product. When I have to change it at the end of the week it's because of growout or because it's pulled away a little from the tips of my nails.One odd thing is that I have noticed by then end of one week, the nailpolish looks a tiny bit darker than when I first painted them so there might be an issue with discoloration. I also recommend making sure you get the sides of your nails. This product is thick and you'll have a visible ridge if you didn't quite cover the whole nail. It does set pretty quickly too so there is a little bit of an art to putting on enough so that you can cover the nail before it sets without globbing on so much that it won't dry, but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. There is also a slight chemically smell to the product but I'm pretty sensitive to smell and it doesn't bother me because it fades quickly.I remember reading reviews about it getting overly thick, and I did purchase the restoring drops from seche vite but so far I haven't needed to use them. So it doesn't seem as big of an issue as some reviews would suggest.Overall the product is amazing and gives you flawless looking nails that and usable within such a short period of time. I have almost forgotten the days of sheet marks and horrible smudges and I get compliments all the time and I keep recommending it to all my friends. I can't believe people don't know about this top coat, I refuse to paint my nails without it now! It's really fantastic and makes at home manicures very accessible.
