After years of never really using a top coat and waiting forever for my nail polish to try (which usually doesn't turn out well b/c of accidental smudging) I finally decided to look for a good fast dry top coat. After seeing the rave reviews about this $9.50 (at least that's the price at my Ulta) bottle of fast drying top coat I decided to give it a try. In quick, it is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, but nothing is ever perfect and it this top coat does have its not so good points.


GOOD
My nail color was looking streaky though opaque, after 2 coats and when I applied seche vite's top coat it totally wiped away the streaks! It was just smooth nail color and super shine! Just look at it! Also, it does dry super fast - in about 10 min you're pretty much good to go. Now, I'm not saying you can go and start doing heavy duty work, but normal tasks are ok (which they weren't for me before). In addition, it prevented my color from chipping for about 3 days. The rimmel nail color by the way is called Milk Chocolate, excuse my icky cuticles.


NOT SO GOOD
I don't think it's the healthiest thing for our nails though. I mean, it's gotta have some pretty gnarly chemicals to work like that. I don't remember them exactly so feel free to go look it up yourself if it is important to youl. Also, after about 4 days (when your nail color starts to chip) it causes the color to start peeling - like you can literally peel off the nail color in sheets. The pretty shine also wears off and gets dull in about 4 days as well.
