Nail top / base coats

7 replies

I look after my nails and paint them weekly-10days. I've fallen out of love with Sèche Vite top coat due to the smell!

Any recommendations for top coats to give longevity and shine?

Also interested in base coats to hydrate and prevent staining.

thanks

No 7. Used to used SV too, and this is better. No shrinkage on the nails, and it doesn't thicken in the bottle like SV does 1/2 way down.

Revlon diamond gel effect top coat is excellent.

I like Essie Speed Setter (used to be a Seche devotee too) or Nails Inc Kensington Caviar. Haven't found my perfect base coat yet!

Thanks for these ideas
Yes the gloop of Seche vite annoys me too but I love the shine and longevity of the finish.
