Seche Vite Dry fast top coat

Hello again my lovelies! Today I'll be reviewing quite a cult product - the Seche Vite Dry fast top coat. It's a very well known and loved product among beauty bloggers or should I say nail polish addicts. :D Since I've also joined the club (the anonymous nail polish addicts club that is), it's only right that I test this beauty out, don't you think? :)

At first glance it doesn't look like much, but let me tell you... this bad boy really works. :D Before I got it, I was using Essie's All in one base (which is a treatment, base coat and top coat in one) and I really liked it, but I noticed a huge difference between the later and Seche Vite. Seche Vite really makes your nail polish last much longer than it would on it's own or even with other top coats. With it, nail polish will last on my nails from 5 days up to a week without chipping or with minimal wear (on the tips). But, it doesn't just make your nail polish last longer, it also gives it a gorgeous shine and a more professional look (you can see the shine it gives to a nail polish in this manicure). :D

Even though you could apply this top coat a few seconds after you've applied your nail polish, I like to wait for the nail polish to almost or completely dry off, before applying the top coat. The top coat itself dries very, very fast, but I still prefer to wait a bit longer, because even though it dries very quickly it can get 'messed up', if you bump your hand against a surface for example - it can leave a dent in it. I feel like it's a bit soft for a while, even though it's dry to the touch. But, when it sets, it will protect your nail polish like no other. :D It does have quite a strong scent which can linger on the nails for about a day or so, then it disappears. I think this is a wonderful product and I use it every single time I paint my nails. :) The price is also great in my opinion - I got it on BeautyBay.com for 10.20 €.
