Worth The Hype: Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

I'm a nails kinda gal. I really am. It would only take just one glance at my Instagram or a quick browse over some of my previous posts to be able to find that one out, and if there's one thing that I can't go without, it's a good quality top coat. Not just any old top coat, it's got to be a quick drying, high gloss, chip resistant, and long lasting top coat. Hello, Seche Vite.  

Before it went gloopy beyond salvation, I did previously use Sally Hansen Insta-Dri, which is another leading quick drying top coat and is in a similar league to Seche Vite ..but for the sake of comparing the two, I'll say for the record that I prefer Seche Vite. 

The typical RRP for a 14ml bottle is £10.95 and many people comment that a downside to this top coat is that it is quite costly, but with a little digging it can be found for much cheaper. Don't ever buy this for the full price! I got my bottle for almost half price on Amazon for just £5.56 (link), and it is also only £5.49 from Salon Services (link), so WHO is paying over £10 for a bottle of this stuff, I do not know?! Don't do it. Get it for £5.50 and it will be money well spent, I promise you. 

Using a layer of this top coat over any nail varnish at all will completely tranform it. You can use a £1 nail varnish that can look quite streaky, patchy and not that shiny, but throw on a coat of this and it will instantly look smooth, even and super glossy. It also makes the layer of lacquer to look a lot thicker, almost like you're wearing gel or shellac nails. I have often been asked if I have gel nails on, when nope it's just standard Rimmel paired with Seche Vite. If while you're painting you happen to knock a little smudge or nick into your colour, then as long as the varnish is still tacky when the top coat is applied then it can magically smooth away all imperfections and your colour looks quite literally flawless. Not to mention the glamorous shine, the chip resistant formula (for a couple of day at least), and then importantly: the quick drying formula that helps you get back to your day to day business pronto! 

For any nail obsessives out there, who take pride in the perfect manicure that they've created and want it to stay as perfect as possible for as long as possible, then Seche Vite Top Coat is a worthy investment and will save you pennies in the long run! £5.50 for a bottle will last you months and months, and will help each nail paint to last probably twice as long as usual before unbearable chips occur and a refresh is necessary, meaning you'll have to touch up your tips less frequently!

It's a winner for me, is it a winner for you?
