I've used Seche Vite for a while, but either my nails have changed, or the formula has, because it just isn't working for me anymore.

My polish is either chipping within hours, or flaking off entirely in one nail-shaped piece.
I've been using a Sally Hansen base/topcoat, but it happens with or without using it.

Is there a miracle quick-drying topcoat that will do the job, or do I need to start looking into doing shellac at home?

I use New Look gel topcoat, the cheap Primark one and an Esscence one from Wilko. My favourite is Nails Inc Caviar but it's way too expensive as I change my nail varnish almost every day. I used to use Seche Vite all the time, but I'm sure they changed the formula a couple of years ago. I just bought a bottle of the Barry M one so I'm glad that's good. I'll try it tomorrow.

My manicure specialist uses Essie (www.enails.eu/en/gel-nail-polish/essie-gel.html), so I would vote for Essie as well. I could not agree more with CookieLady, that it is better than Naiks and Seche, as it last much longer.
