Alright, it's time for another review! I know, I know, you're thinking "Ugh, another nail polish? She must be obsessed..." and you would be right. HOWEVER, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't share my experiences with this top coat because I think that everyone who loves polishes should be aware of it. The story behind this top coat is a simple one. I do french manicures of all shades pretty frequently, and when I use a regular cheap top coat they always streak the tip color and make it bleed into the base, which just makes me angry after spending so much time on my nails. SO, I set out to find a top coat that would not do this, and Seche Vite has exceeded my expectations by far. It is a pricy top coat, but totally worth it!! My bottle costs $9, but for the quality I will gladly pay it any time.
The box that this top coat comes in claims it penetrates through wet polish and dries quickly, doesn't streak and leaves an awesome shine. I have to say that every single one of these claims is absolutely true. It doesn't streak your polish AT ALL, even if you apply it to wet nails! It dries so quickly that I could barely believe it. Within about a minute, your manicure is complete, glossy, and streak free. I really couldn't have asked for more in a top coat, and I have yet to find one that rivals the quality of Seche Vite.
OK, time for the downside to this top coat. I wish there weren't a downside, but I have to admit that there is. If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are nursing, DO NOT use this top coat! It comes with a warning on the bottle that says "WARNING! This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm." This nail polish contains toluene, which with prolonged exposure in large quantities can cause health issues. The small amount in this nail polish isn't really enough to cause long term health issues in the average person, and has been approved for use by the FDA because of this fact, but if you are preggers I would definitely avoid it just to be safe. If you need more information on toluene, visit websites like the CDC, EPA, and FDA. They have TONS of information on it.
Because of the amazing quality of this top coat, I really want to give it a perfect score... but, because of the health warning and concerns that may arise because of chemicals in this polish, I have to give it a score of 4 out of 5. If you have any questions on this top coat, please let me know! I can honestly say that I am a very avid fan of it. :)
