Oh Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat, my new
favourite lifesaver for my nails! You speed dry my nails within a couple of
minutes and leave them glossy for the world to see, how I love thee…
I have actually had this topcoat for about
a year and the first couple of times I used it, I hated it namely because (a)
it absolutely stinks, I suggest you open a window wide to dissipate the fumes
and (b) I found that within a couple of days the whole layer of polish on a few
of my nails would come off in one sweep.
This usually happened whilst I was out and
about (and as you can imagine was not a good look!!) which then resulted in
pitying looks from girls with perfect nails and sadly I couldn’t even pretend it
was the look I was going for! So I dumped it into my never to resurface again
bag.
Anyhu fast forward to about 3 months ago, I
was in a rush to go out and had inevitably left my nails till the last minute
and needed them to dry pronto, so in my desperate state I thought why not try
it again. I did and 4 days later realised my nails were still intact!
So I set about experimenting with a few
other polishes and after a number of tries I realised they all stayed put. I
finally tried the original polish I used it with and it happened again so I
came to the conclusion that it just doesn’t like that polish (sadly that polish
finished and was thrown out a while ago so I can’t remember what it’s called)
Other things to note that do affect me
giving it a full 5 stars are:
- The smell – yes I’m mentioning that again. It really isn’t pleasant!
- You need to make sure you completely cover your whole nail including the tips, otherwise the polish seems to shrink backwards and crack
- When it gets close to the bottom of the bottle it becomes really gloopy and thick which makes it difficult to use
- When you use it with dark polishes, the brush seems to pick up some of the colour so you will notice your clear Seche Vite start to change colour (that’s why mine has a soft tinge of pink)
Aside from that, it dries my nails to a
beautiful finish and extremely quickly. That for me outweighs the negatives because
I’m not the most patient with my nails so a quick dry is a dream come true.
So Seche Vite I do love you and now I can wander
around and give other girls with cracked nails the pitying look at your nails
look… (cue eveeel laugh mwah hahaha) just kidding I love you really
P.s If any of you are wondering what nail
polish I’m wearing in this image. It’s the Nails Inc Hampstead Heath that I
waxed lyrical about in my November favourites
