C: I literally cannot believe I haven’t reviewed this on here before! Seriously, Seche Vite is my HG top coat! I was recommended this by my lovely work bestie who swears by it too, and since trying it I haven’t used anything else. You can buy this from Boots for £9 here (or sometimes if you are super lucky they have it in TK Maxx for £5!).
So as usual you apply your normal nail polish and then use this as a top coat. You do have to apply it quite thickly, but it gives you an amazingly professional, glossy looking mani – and that is saying something with my amateur nail painting skills. It applies both smoothly and evenly, and dries super quickly so if you are impatient like me you only have to wait a few minutes for a perfectly finished manicure.
So lets get onto the important part… long lasting-ness (deffo a word). No matter what polish I am using, this top coat makes it last about 3-4 days longer than it would with no top coat/with a rubbish top coat. I have literally never seen anything like it. It is magical. The only downside to this badboy is that by the end of the bottle it gets too gloopy and it is unusable – normally about the last quarter. You can buy some strange money making concoction from Seche Vite to mix with the polish to stop this happening… or you can just buy a new one when it gets to the last gloopy bit!
Have any of you guys tried this? Or managed to find a top coat that is even better? #twolittleowls
Seche Vite is da bomb.

I use Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat which has saved me from ruining my nails a lot. I’m far too impatient to let my nails dry properly without it! I don’t know how it compares to Seche Vite though x

I lOVE Seche Vite – as you said, super glossy, long lasting and quick drying – but it’s so weird about that last quarter bit.

Nup, I can’t say I’ve ever seen them actually. Maybe it’s just because I’ve not been looking. I just recently bought a massive bottle from Sally Salon Services which you refill the small bottle from so it’ll be interesting to see if the same thing happens!

I use Seche Vite as well, for every mani. I am playing with a few sunlight-heat activated top coats, but I haven’t used them enough to offer a good review on em, but we’ll see how they compete lol
