Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat review and swatch

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat: £9.00*

CULT FAVOURITE

First of all, please ignore the chipped nails. I will explain the photo later on. Seche Vite here, Seche Vita there. This topcoat is known to be one of the finest top coats out there.

This does help my nails dry quicker than usual. It dries within a minute and at around the 3-minute mark, my nails are ready to go for everyday life. With a high shine glossy finish, it definitely was the cherry on the cake to any nail polish. Streak-free, no smudges or fingerprints. However, I honestly am not keen on this. Sadly, it started to chip after a day. The above photo is after a week and a half.

I had taken this photo for a specific reason. My nail colour wasn’t white after a day or two. Due to being a dyed redhead, it started to stain the topcoat giving it a dull, dusty pink mask over the white which you can see above. I have used this topcoat on other nail colours and it’s the same result. It wasn’t glossy after this. The stained topcoat can be seen in lighter colours but not dark colours. I do have the habit of picking the chipped polish off. My bad. When I do, I was able to peel the topcoat off as well. It’s oddly fascinating in my own little world.

The topcoat gets thicker over time and will need to use a different product to thin it out. This does have a conventional nail polish chemical smell. Pungent and need to be used in a well-ventilated area. There are better topcoat polishes out there especially ones that doesn’t get stained easily. This is not what I thought it would be. I wish I could like it but I can’t.

You can get this in Boots, ASOS, M&S, Feel Unique and many more places in stores and online.

Have you tried this and what were your thoughts?

    This product is new to me, I haven't heard of the brand before. I have always used Essie and OPI top coats, I think they are the best!

    This sounds like a great product. There is nothing worse than spending ages doing your nails then you get the dreaded chip!!

  6. beautyqueenuk says:

    I have this and love it, would probably never use anything else x

  7. Sarah-Louise Bailey says:

    What a shame it seems to absorb the dye from your hair to give it that pink tone – not exactly what you want from a top coat. Love the fact it is quick drying though. x

  8. Life-As-Mum says:

    Such a shame that it had chipped that much in that little time 🙁 Especially for the price too.

  9. Angela Milnes says:

    I've not seen this before but it looks like the stuff I use which never lasts. What a shame.

  10. Agata Pokutycka says:

    I've never heard about this brand before. I usually use L'Oreal top coat.

  11. Olivia says:

    Love the idea that it dries quicker but my nail varnish is forever coming off after a day or two so maybe I should I try this! x

  12. Emma Matthews says:

    I've never heard of the brand before but it sounds fantastic! Will definitely be reading up more about it.

    This sounds great and the timing is good as I NEED a new top coat!!!!

  14. ana de jesus says:

    Oh no sorry to hear that it chipped so quickly, the shade is nice but I prefer longer lasting varnishes like you x

  15. Elizabeth says:

    I honestly thought that the chipped nail polish was a new painting style, lol! The top coat sounds very good though, my daughter would like something like that for her nails.

  16. Leanne Dolan says:

    I bloody love seche vite! I haven't used it for a while though as my nails aren't in the best state atm. The one problem I have with it is that it goes quite gloomy after a while despite there being lots of product left!

  17. Caffeinated Reactions says:

    I like that it's quick drying, I'm very impatient! Bit annoying it started to chip so soon though

  18. Stella Olojola says:

    Oh wow it chipped really quickly. What a shame.

  19. Hannah Heartss says:

    I'm not a fan of this top coat or any other top coat really!

  20. Zoë IKIWN says:

    Quick drying topcoats are great, but it's such a shame that this one started to chip so quickly and then picked up the colour from your hair too. x

    I had heard great things about this product, but your review has made me rethink my decision to purchase it! Thank you x

  23. Jessica Ayun says:

    I thought it's all good due to its quick dry feature but great that you shared how you monitor this coat.

  24. Kitty Kaos says:

  26. Anosa Malanga says:

    I don't use top coats because I have had similar experiences in the past and I too pick on my nail polish when it starts to chip.

  27. Alice Furlan says:

    this one has had such a hype around it, but I rather have a good top coat that takes a bit longer to dry but lasts long. Oh and the red from the hair dye defeats all top coats I have tried in 5 years..there's no hope

  28. Karis Brelsford says:

    Im really bad with top coats. Not heard of this one before but sounds good. Always helps when it speeds the drying process up. Im always smudging mine thinking it has dried.

  29. Sophia Meola; ❤ says:

    I have this and absolutely love using it! IT does have quite a strong scent but it works great 🙂
