If you are into prettifying your nails, a good base and top coat will always come in handy. I have heard the same complaint from various readers: "My nail polish smudges after application!" What's the solution? A quick drying top coat!
One of the most well known top coat brand that has been favored by many is called Seche Vite! I've seen various nail blogs who call this the "best top coat in the world!" That intrigued me and I nearly ordered mine via Ebay but the long wait on shipping stopped me from doing so!
As I was browsing through Facebook, a note from Digital Traincase that says: "Seche Vite - On Hand" made me literally jumped out of my seat and paid immediately! I got my order the next day and I've been using this from one nail art design after the other!

I have mixed feelings regarding this top coat, read on to know why!

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat is widely acknowledged as the world's finest top coat. Specially formulated to penetrate through nail lacquer to the base coat forming a single solid coating over the nail plate for a much more durable finish. Guaranteed not to yellow while leaving nails silky, stronger and resistant to chipping and peeling.

AMW says ---
Pros- Nice brush that's easy to maneuver.
- Polish dries up pretty quick! Around 1 minute (top dry), 5 minutes (completely dry).
- Application is easy and it gives a smooth finish.
- The scent. The scent of this top coat is way stronger than regular polish.
- Does not give a very glossy shine as compared to other top coats.
- Polish at times may peel off! I really can't tell what's the cause of this but my polish peels off easily with this as a top coat. (Kindly read tips below on how to work this out.)
- The warning sign printed on box. I mean, most polishes aren't safe for pregnant but having it printed on box gave me a bit of chills each time I use this.
The best quick dry top coat I've encountered to date!
Tips
- Not to be used as base coat. I know some top coat doubles as base and top coat but this one doesn't work! I mistakenly used this as a base coat and my poor nail art peeled off instantly.
- If you want to prevent peeling or shrinkage of your nail polish while using Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat, apply a layer of another brand of your favorite top coat then top just 1 layer of Seche. My polish lasts longer with this trick.
- Try not to apply polish in an enclosed room, try to open your room door as the scent could get overwhelming.
- Never apply polish in front of a fan!
No. As I am quite patient with waiting for my nail polish to try! The possible peeling freaks me out since I take time to do my nail art for it just to peel after a day or 2!
To whom do I recommend this to?
Anyone who are into nail polish but hates the drying time! It is best used by people who aren't pregnant.
Where to purchase and how much?
Available locally at Digital Traincase for Php420.00 (approx $9.80).
