(3 Pack) SECHE Vive Instant Gel Effect Top Coat

I paint my own nails and over the years have gone through many top coats. I've been using the original Seche Vite top coat for a long time now and i like it but it always lost its "shine" very quickly (like the next day) and I dont want my nails looking dull. I also found the original gave me "shrinkage" at the cuticle line (almost like the 2nd coat of my nail polish pulled away from my 1st. But this Seche Vive stuff is AWESOME and my nails look like a salon gel manicure!!! I will NEVER use another top coat again!!!

I don't have a lot of complaints about this top coat. The only reason it's 4 start vs. 5 is that Seche makes another top coat Vite (fast) vs. this product Vive (life) that I prefer.Pros:Dries super fastNice glossy finishManicure does last a long time when applied liberallyCons:Not really seeing the "Gel effect" advertised. Glossy? yes. Gel? No.I only need one coat of Seche Vite for adequate coverage, shine and protection. With this product I need at least 2 coats for a similar effect.I've had some chips and flaking in this top coat vs. Seche Vite. Most of the time it's ok but it has its moments.I'd still recommend this product to almost any other top coat in the market; however as long as Seche still sells Vite I'll buy that instead.

I was hesitant to buy this because I didn't think it could be THAT much different than the other top coats i had tried. I have a sally hansen, 60 second dry, and a ORLY topcoat already but NONE of them compare to this.This topcoat is thick, which makes it pretty easy to apply to be honest because its more obvious where you're put it. And as long as you paint the cap or edge of your nails you will notice how much longer it lasts. I'm talking 5 days to a week with no chips, dents, dings or bubbles - depending on how hard you are on your hands and nails. i'd say I'm pretty rough on mine and still get 5 days of perfection. Highly recommend to anyone.

SECHE Vive (not to be confused with SECHE Vite) really does give a nice gel-like effect visually. Don't expect it to perform like a gel topcoat - it isn't a UV resin type product! But it does give a lovely, super-shiny surface if you apply it in a thick coat as directed. Make sure you let it dry thoroughly; even though the surface dries to the touch fairly quickly, it's still a thick layer of nail polish. Unlike SECHE Vite, it doesn't thicken and become unusable after a short time.

I really do like this brand. Other gels do not last as long or provide the protection this one does. I work with my hands a lot and this top coat lasts a good 7 days, sometimes 8 or 9 depending on the color it's going over. With almost any polish, I can incur chipping because of the work I do. Overall this is pretty strong because of how rough I am on my manicures.

Best topcoat I have ever used. I polish my nails before I go to bed so this is a must have. It dries really fast and leaves them super shiny. I would recommend this through and through.

Buy this if you like long lasting manicures that dry quickly and resist chips.

I really wanted to like but after giving it multiple tries over the past year I've come to the conclusion that it just doesn't work for me. I have nail polish that lasts usually 2 weeks with minimal chipping but this top coat literally starts peeling up from the edge within 2-3 days and then everything keeps catching and chipping away the color. I even came to the reviews to see if it had to be used with the UV lamp but apparently it doesn't lol. I'm glad it works for everyone else but it's just a giant hell no for me lol

Best top coat l have ever used... gives very high shine, dries quickly & definitely gives gel polish appearance on finish!I have used many high end pro nail products and this is by far the best.

Excellent product , great nails results highly recomeded

Perfect for top coat. Dries fast and very shiny. Love it.

Love the gel like finish, but it only lasts about 4-5 days

Very good quality and dries very fast I loved it
