Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
Available at: Sally Beauty - $7.99
-or- Ulta - $9.95
This is the best top coat that I've found. And when I paint my nails, the top coat is key. My job's dress code states that we aren't allowed to have chipped nails because we have direct contact with patients, so I need a top coat that is going to make my nail last, but also dries fast.
This is that top coat.
First, it is fast-drying. I can put it over my nail polish when it is tacky after 2-3 coats of color, and within 5 minutes it is dry. I can to go bed forget ready for work without worrying about smudging.
Second, it makes my polish last until I am ready to take it off. Granted, I tend to change colors every 7 days or so, so I can't tell you if it lasts longer.
One downfall is that if you DO chip the nail, it tends to peel off in one clean sheet. This is because part of the process is that the top coat penetrated the color to bind with the base coat. Therefore if you chip a corner, it will probably peel clean off.
I give it 4.5 stars out of 5
