Review: Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

So, I've been using SV for the past month. Up until today, it's left with that much (refer picture below).

With this much left, the top coat starts to thickened already! OMG, I was like WHAT?! Anyway, I've purchased Seche Restore just for this as I've read in MUA that it's really good in thinning the SV top coat.

Overall, this top coat is so COOL. My manicure is always dry to touch upon 5 minutes of application and after about 15 minutes, I can do whatever without worrying about denting it. Of course, I'm being more careful and hard core torturing won't be good for your manicure if it's done within the first hour. Oh and my manicure looks really luxurious with this top coat. It looks like it has a really thick layer of shiny stuff on it.

Yes, it is shiny!

However, after about 3 days, the shine goes away and I start getting scratches on my manicure. The scratches are due to the fact that I do alot of typing, cooking and cleaning though.

I've never looked back! I will never use another top coat anymore!

China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint

This polish is of a light green creme colour. It's my sister's by the way.

I quite like the colour on my nails though. It doesn't look too weird on my tanned skin.

First coat was alright but if you had on too little polish on the brush, it might be streaky. I tried applying a thick coat on a few nails and it worked. Drying time was really good too. As usual, I applied a 2nd coat to every nail.

Essie Hot Coco

Another one of Essie Winter 2010's collection.

This is Hot Coco. It's a smokey taupe creme polish. I didn't quite like it from what I see in the bottle but upon application on my nails, it looked awesome as it goes well with my skintone. It's more of a  milky chocolate colour.

Upon 1st layer, it went on streaky unless if it's a thick coat. The pictures below are 2 coats. Drying time wasn't as fast as Silken Cord but it's ok as I'm using Seche Vite's Dry Fast Top Coat. Regardless of how slow polishes dry, Seche just speeds it up for me.

Essie Silken Cord

I purchased the Essie Winter 2010 mini pack awhile ago. It has 4 colours but I will only show you one today.

This is called Silken Cord. It's a warm red creme polish. It was already opaque with the 1st coat but as usual, I put on a 2nd coat. This polish is so easy to apply with absolutely no streaks and consistency was perfect! Drying time was not bad!

Here you go!

OPI Espresso Your Style & OPI Rising Star

Since I've just got Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat, I tried out applying OPI Espresso Your Style on my finger nails as this polish dries really, I mean REALLY slow.

Anyway, it dried up super fast with Seche! Then the next day, I wanted to try out if I could 'French' up my nails with normal cellophane tape to get the line straight. I know, it's not supposed to be super straight but I've no idea how to cut it to the nail's shape.

Have a look at the pictures below and tell me what you think of it!
