Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat is by far the best top coat I've used. For years I was an OPI devotee, and I assumed it was best if I used OPI topcoat with their polish. Seche Vite, however, has provided a much clearer and glossier finish than any other top coat I've tried. Also, it does not nick once it gets dry.

People tell me my nails look great all the time and they think they look professionally done. I think this is largely because of the glossy and clear finish I get from Seche Vite--though I will take credit for the years of experience, but a manicure or pedicure won't look professional no matter how good you are if you don't have a good top coat.

I've noticed that if I use and older bottle of Seche Top coat that I'll be more prone to cracking of the top coat, but that's only if I happen to pick up a bottle that is over a year old. Just be sure to keep a fresh bottle on hand and close it tightly, and this should help extend the life of your top coat.

As far as the one reviewer who complained of chips, perhaps the bottle of top coat she used was an old one. I'm not sure, but I do my own nails every week and don't have any problems with chipping (unless I'm doing hardcore work, in which case ANY polish would chip). If you're tough on your nails you may want to also use "chip skip," which is an OPI product.

One final note, as top coats do, this one does tend to absorb some of your nail color. For instance red polish might tint your bottle of top coat a light red. If you don't always use the same color of polish, I'd recommend cleaning your applicator brush after using the top coat (with polish remover). Otherwise, next time you go to do a french manicure it might have swirls of red in it.

This isn't normally the type of product I review, but when I saw my favourite top coat listed, I had to review it.

I know people everywhere will tell you how fantastic their 'can't live without' cosmetic is, but this is different. This truely and honestly is the best top coat in the entire universe. It honestly is and you really have to give it a go. Without kidding, within two three minutes of having applied this to two color coats of polish, you will be able to drive, run your fingers through your hair, put a cd in the player etc etc. And sheet marks at night??? A thing of the past with this. Even if you paint your nails a half hour to an hour before bed, there won't be a problem in the morning. This really has to be tried to be believed and I can't stop going on about the quality and professionalism of this product (I never can pronounce it, but I always use it). I wish all salons would use this so people out there get a chance to experience this amazing product for themselves. You'll be hooked and will never try anything else again.

I know I am in the minority but I do not care for Seche Vite at all. The first thing you will notice when you open the bottle is the odor it is overwhelming and gives me a headache after only moments. It smells because it contains Toluene one of the "big 3's" that most polish companies have removed from their lacquers and treatments. Because of the toluene Seche Vite simply does not work with Big 3 Free polishes. You will notice your polish shrinking on the edges as it dries, and that your manicures just don't last. As you get down to the second half of the bottle, the product starts to thicken considerably which makes it hard to spread onto your nails. You will notice as this happens that when you apply it onto your wet polish the polish will drag, wrinkle, and look streaky.

Just a noteYou MUST apply Seche Vite to wet polish. Wait no more than a couple minutes before you apply it or your polish will come off in a big sheet. You cannot use it to "refresh" the shine on a manicure you've been wearing for a couple days as that will make it come off in a sheet as well.

What kills it for me is the smell. I just can't get past it and that is why I will not purchase this product again. If you are looking for a good quick dry top coat that is shiny and gives you the glassy look that Seche Vite does, I recommend Poshe Super Fast Drying Top Coat. It has some of the problems Seche Vite does (must apply to wet polish, starts to thicken as you use up the bottle), but I do believe it is much, much better.

Honest reviews on Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Nail Coat, 0.5 Ounce

Hallelujah! I've tried dozens of shiny topcoats, quick dry topcoats and quick dry items you put on after topcoats and I have finally found the best product out there! (This is it.)

Apply right after your manicure, doesn't smear or smudge the polish. It actually does a great job filling in and concealing any minor flaws in the manicure as well. Dries nearly instantly to the touch, dries solid in minutes. Shiny, shiny, shiny! I cannot stop raving about this product and I am definitely trying their other nail products.

I just have never had much luck with any other fast dry topcoat no matter how long I'm careful afterwards. I'm a perfectionist and this stuff has finally made my manicure perfect. I'll have to update this as to how long my manicure lasted with it.

I can't hate this product even if I want to.

It's great and THEN some.

SO at first, I didn't want to buy it because of the review about the Toluene that was in it. But when I bought it and used it, and saw how PERFECT they made my manicures, I had to study more about toluene. I couldn't possibly stop using the nail polish because it was JUST PERFECT!

The bottle does have a warning on it about how SV "contains a chemical that has been known in the state of California to cause Birth defects or possible reproductive problems". WHEN I read that, I WAS LIKE OH NO!!! The warning didn't say whether Toluene was the bad chemical though. Hmmph?

Anyway, I used the nail polish again, and it was dry within seconds, shiny, perfect, no smudge, and just perfect.

I really love the nail polish, but the Toluene bothered me. I later learned that Toluene is taken in the body through inhalation.. so I somehow found a solution. I Use a facial mask when I paint my nails now. This product is all I have been waiting for. I love doing my own nails. it dries in seconds. I can take a shower after 15 minutes of applying, and no smudge or imprints on my nails.

I use my mask right now, and I will probably stop using this product because my mind is not totally at peace with it yet.. but it really is a great product.

Even though I have a problem with the product, I won't take away more than one star. Because it actually does what it says (and then some -like a birth defect maybe?)lol.. Ok I kid.. But u get my point right?
