Seche Vite Top and Base Coat Review

After endless amounts of bloggers raving about the Seche Vite range I began to crave it myself! Once my friend alerted me about its appearance on Buyapowa I snapped the two coats up straight away. Prior to the purchase of the coats I was using O.P.I top and base coat which I believed was fairly good. But what makes this brand stand out is the fast drying of the top coat and this is what made me want it so bad! Each time I paint my nails I get really frustrated as usually they smudge. As you can understand I was pleased that I managed to get my hands on these two coats! So here is a little review on what I think about the coats! 

The base coat surprised me as I found that it has a thick cream texture as opposed to a thin clear one. It also dries with a white tint to it which I haven't seen in a base coat before. However, even with my damaged nails it managed to somehow smooth out all of the ridges. I think because of the way it dries it sets a perfect canvas for the next polish. I find the pigmentation of the next polish I put on is greater due to the whiter base coat. The base coat is completely unique compared to any I have previously used. I believe this is why I feel I receive a salon feel from this base coat in comparison to others.

I am super impressed with the top coat. I don't own many, previously I would have raved about the O.P.I top coat, but it really doesn't not have a spot on the Seche Vite fast dry coat. I love painting my nails but I hate how long they take to dry. Admittedly this top coat does not dry instantly, but in comparison to other polishes and coats this dries solid in the matter of minutes! I feel confident to move about and use my hands without the fear of smudging once I have used this. It's also very thick compared to over top coats, therefore, as it dries it adds an extra layer onto the nail. This leaves a perfect salon quality finish which I just love! The thickness of the top coat means that chipping is minimal and a manicure is actually durable. The feel of the finish is beautifully smooth and I honestly cannot stop smoothing over my nails each time I have the top coat on. 

If you want a high quality salon finish at home then these coats are the most prefect way to go about it. The Seche Vite coats can even make my cheapest of nail polishes look super expensive. I would recommend shopping around for it as I understand it can add up to quite an expense. I brought mine from buyapowa which discounted these to £11.50* for the both. 

What do you think of Seche Vite? Are there any other coats out there that are worth the hype? Comment below and let me know.
