Seche Seche ultra-v uv top coat .5 Ounce ., 0.5 Fl Ounce

I was so happy to buy this. I really love Gel manicures, and I wanted to start a Gel nail polish collection. I soon realized how expensive that was going to be. I already had a collection of regular nail polish colors I just couldn't part with. I wanted to be able to dry my nails under my UV light, and not worry about nicking my nails or smudging them on anything. However, this is only possible with Gel polish. I did try to use my regular polish and dry them under the light, but that did not work. The polish still came out tacky no matter how long I left them under the light. After research I realized that the regular nail polish was not going to dry any faster under a light, because of the chemicals it was made out of. I was beginning to think that I would have to switch to all Gel polish in order for the UV light to work they way I wanted it to (no nicking or smudging immediately after use). Then I found this product. I used my regular base coat, regular color coat, and then the UV activated top coat, then dry under the light. It worked perfectly! My nails we dry and the polish was hardened. There was no chance of the polish smudging or getting nicked on anything. This really came in handy when polishing my 4 year old daughters nails and toes too. When it came time for removal, it was very easy compared to Gel polish having to be soaked off. I read some reviews that the polish was too thin or didn't last as long. But my polish was the same consistency as regular nail polish, and lasted just as long. It was actually more shiny and glossy looking than a regular top coat. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to use a UV topcoat with regular polish. Note: If you use a regular color coat and put a "Gel" topcoat over it, the topcoat tends to crack. This is because the Gel and regular polish are made of different things. This product did not do that with my manicures.

I love this and wish I’d come across it sooner. Used an LED light and my polish was hard in 60 seconds (but just to be safe I put my hand back in for another minute or two). There is a strong chemical smell (like raid spray) but it dissipates after nails cure. My last manicure lasted for 7 days and that was because I got tired of the color and changed my polish. No chips! I wash my hands a lot at work and use a lot of hand sanitizer and nails still we’re shiny.

This was my first attempt at gel nail polish and it did not disappoint. I love the shine and longevity.

Love it!!!

Just the same as the Seche Vitae fast dry top coat, this performs beautifully. A nice consistency. I use this to cure false nails that are not gel nor acrylics. I use regular nail polishes, when I am done, a coat of this and under the UV light. The nails are fantastic, completely dry and very shiny. Don't hesitate if you have a UV light. If I intend to decorate my nails, I will add the additional touches and use Seche Vitae (not Seche Ultra-V) to secure the changes, additional UV light time is not necessary. Very flexible.

I work in a resort spa & have clients that don't want to wait around for polish to dry. I bought this in hopes of limiting the smudges that happen on a regular basis.The main point is that it works in my LED light, but it still takes 3 mins per hand/foot as per the UV instructions (unlike gel polish that cures faster in an LED) & even after the 3 mins in the light it takes the big toe/thumbnails an additional 3-5 mins to be completely set. Compared to an hour minimum for dry time, I'll take it!The only other thing to note is the strong odor it has; I like how it smells, but I can see how others might not.Never had it ignite on myself or a client so I think as long as you're not playing with fire right after you do your nails you'll be good to go.

Doesn't streak, easy to apply

Like other reviews, I spent 30 minutes sure my nails were perfect prior to painting this on and trying to cure it, only to have it smudge and not ever cure fully. I have tried their quick dry top coat and it works fabulously. This product is terrible. I will stick with their VITE formula.
