Today I just had to share the best new nail polish I’ve found! I do my own nails about once a week and, like any girl, want that polish to last as long as possible. While I’ve used good top coats before, I was ready to try a new one. I was drawn to the Seche Vive Instant Gel Effect Top Coat because it promises a “glossy, high shine finish without the use of a UV/LED light.” I purchased it at Ulta, and it did not disappoint! Without further ado … here’s my Seche Vive top coat review.
The nail polish isn’t too much more expensive than other salon brand top coats (it’s only $11.90 at Ulta), and I thought it was completely worth it! The brush makes it super easy for the formula to glide on, and it’s fast drying. The brand promises a plumping effect, and I love how glossy and smooth it leaves the nail surface. After four days of wearing the polish I had just a few very small chips on the edges, much less than I had with other top coats. To be honest I didn’t wear it past day four because I was bored of my polish color, but it felt so hard on my nails that I know it could last for a few more days! The polish removes easily with any acetone or non acetone nail polish remover.
Do you have your own Seche Vive top coat review? Leave your experience below, or pick up the top coat for yourself. Ulta has a great return policy if for some reason you aren’t satisfied.

I have all natural nails n am always looking for a way to make my polish stay on longer. I wear only shades of white on my nails so they sometimes yellow easy. I’ve been using the gel top coat n just love it.! Really. Even my daughter likes it.! She as well has natural nails but puts color in hers.! She works at a bank with coins n money all day n has few chips after the 4Th day.! Thank U

Hint: I bought this at Sally Beauty Supply and it’s only about half the price. I paid $5 and change. I tried it for the first time last night, it is rock solid after 10 minutes. No sheet marks, ha! I will be very happy to have my regular nail polish look great for one week.
Sincerely, Jennie
Thanks so much for the hint! I’ll check that out.
