I bought this top coat from Sally's Beauty Supply for around $6-$7 dollars. I actually went in to get the popular Seche Vite top coat, took it home, read the warning label and promptly returned it the next day. It turns out that there is or was an ingredient listed on the bottle that could cause reproductive issues and infertility. I think the brand has now removed that warning but as a women who is yet to have children I wasn't taking the chance.
The sales rep at Sally's recommend this top coat and I am glad she did. One of the things that often deters me from painting my nails is the time it takes for the polish to dry, so I usually go for the quick dry nail polishes. I guess I just don't have the patience.
This top coat makes painting my nails a quick experience. It begins to dry in seconds and I would say in about a minute to a minute and a half my nails are dry and I can get on with my day. It also has UV protection.
The only issue I have with this is that when you try to apply another layer the next day or a few days after you paint your nails it leaves streaks.
Nail dryers and the cold water trick just did not work for me, but this top coat does.
Nice review!
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy to find a really good top coat. I still don't have my favorite...:(
"In a hurry" looks very good! I like quickly drying coats and polishes! :)

Sometimes I end up doing things with my hands before my nails dry and then they get all messed up and I have to do them again lol This polish is great for people like me :)
DeleteI AM ALMOST DONE WITH MY Seche Vite top coat AND WAS THINKING TO TRY SOME OTHER PRODUCTS BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL THE PRICE AND THE SECOND OF ALL THE CHEMICAL SMELL... OH MAN~ THE SMELL IS VERY UNPLEASANT I TELL YOU. I SHOULD LOOK FOR THIS PRODUCT NEAR BY ME. HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE...
ReplyDeleteHey, you should try the Essie no chips ahead, it lasts a lot longer than this air dry top coat alone and you can add this one on top of the Essie to make it dry faster. The Seche Vite has a lot of chemicals.
DeleteHi Erica D I to like this product but been having trouble fining it. I check sally beauty web site has the product changed. does it still have with UV protection?
ReplyDeleteHello, Sometimes the online store does not have the same products available as the actual store. Some products you cannot purchase online so if you cannot find it this may be why. I purchased another bottle a few months ago at the Sally's store and I found it. Try going into your local store. If not I recommend the Essie no chips ahead top coat which doesn't dry as fast but it makes my manicure last at least a week!
