Vive Instant Gel Effect Top Coat, Clear Nail Varnish for Glossy Finish, Fast-Drying Gel Polish Top Coat & Durable Nail Polish Topper for Long-Lasting Shine, No UV/LED Lamp Needed, 14 ml

Went on smoothly and evenly, dries quickly with a glassy finish. This is now my forever favourite and will continue using seche products.

Great shiny top coat. Used to use the Sally Hansen gel shine top coat but I found the nails chipped quite quickly. With Seche my nails last roughly 10 days. Will definitely purchase again once I’ve used this bottle.

Love this top coat! It's very fast-drying (great if you're impatient!), easy to apply and leaves a lovely shine on your manicure. There is some shrinkage after a few days, hence the 4 stars.

This is, hands down, my favourite top coat. Positives: - super glossy - has that same 'plumping' effect as a gel topcoat, which makes anything sparkly look INCREDIBLE - lasts for ages. My nails reject polish-- it literally peels off in one piece (without using a peely base!) after a couple days no matter what base I use. But if I make sure to seal around the edges and tip with this, it lasts for at least a week. And doing the same thing on people with less oily nail beds, it's lasted up to 18 days with one or two minor (accident-inflicted) chips. Which is WILD (I am also using orly's bonder base as well on myself and my friends so it's not JUST that I'm sealing with topcoat, but it plays a big part!). - it's cheap! Compared to most brands' own quick-dry topcoat (I own them from a bunch of different brands including holo Taco & moon at) it's literally half the price. And while Holo Taco's is my second favourite, seche vite is still the best. - it dries hard SUPER FAST. I have very little patience and am very forgetful, so not having to wait too long before I can use my hands without ruining my nails is very important. Negatives: - it dries hard SUPER FAST. it will start to dry on the brush immediately. If you aren't fast enough it can be a bit goopy and difficult to spread over the whole nail, so it takes a bit of getting used to. Other quick-dry topcoats take a bit longer, and so give you slightly more working time - you WILL need to buy a nail polish thinner, seche do have their own and it works great (on all polishes, not just this one). This is because as soon as you open the bottle it is exposed to air, which starts the chemical reaction which causes it to harden. As you use more of the polish, there will be more air in the bottle, and it will start to get thick and goopy. Luckily just a couple drops of polish thinner (and some shaking) will restore it! And a bottle of nail polish thinner will last you YEARS. - the opaque bottle. I know brands do this to try and mimick the look of gel polishes but a) it's confusing to consumers, and b) you can't see how much polish is left in the bottle. Overall I absolutely adore this topcoat and highly recommend it IF you're fairly quick at putting a top coat on!

I always make sure I have a bottle in reserve so I never run out! After removing Gels from my nails, they leave my nails brittle, which then makes them break and my nails look awful until they recover. This excellent top coat allows me to paint my nails with ordinary nail varnish, and with this a top coat, you would be hard put to notice a difference from a gel nail cured under a uv lamp. My nails feel strong and the varnish is long lasting under this top coat, probably lasts 1-2 weeks depending what I’ve been doing! So now my nails always look like I have a gel finish but without the cost. In fact, I recently won an express manicure at a salon and took this with me for them to use instead of their own top coat. I have now converted them too!!

I really like the seche vite base cost and their standard top coat is amazing so I thought id try the gel effect one but I was disappointed. It doesn’t apply very well and is a bit thick and gloopy. I didn’t find it lasted very well either. I’ll be sticking to the standard one in future.

Best top coat - really shiny and hardwearing

I love gel effect polishes so had high hopes for this, especially as it claims to be quick drying. It does do what it says - it dries quick enough that I didn’t have to worry about smudging which was great! The shiny, gel-like effect looked lovely too. However, it peels off ridiculously fast!! I’ve used it 3 times now, over different tried & tested brands of polish, and each time it has peeled off just 24hrs later. So unfortunately this has just been a waste of money, and I can’t recommend it.

This polish top coat provides a gel like glossy, long-lasting finish that helps prevent chipping and extends the life of your manicure. It dries quickly and adds a smooth, professional-looking shine. Overall, it’s a reliable top coat for keeping nails looking fresh.

Amazing gel-look top coat! I’m not a fan the traditional UV cured gel nails but I also don’t like the unrefined look of standard nail polish. This product adds beautiful ‘volume’ and glassy shine over the top of regular nail polish. I love the fact that it also dries instantaneously and leaves a clean, professional look in seconds. I need to buy this product for all my friends

Great top coat. Works perfectly with regular nail polish. Quick dry, gives a very good shine finish.

This has become my go-to top coat and I keep coming back to it. It gives such a beautiful gel-like shine without needing a UV lamp, and it really helps my manicure last longer without chipping. The finish looks smooth, glossy, and salon-quality every time. It also dries fairly quickly, which is a big plus when you don’t have a lot of time to wait around. I love how it makes regular nail polish look more professional and polished. If you want that gel effect at home without the hassle, this is definitely a great product to have!

Muy bueno
