When I was young I was obsessed with nails and nail polish....especially fake nails. Oddly enough I still have never gotten any type of acrylics in my adult life. When I was in elementary/middle/high school I always had some sort of kit for press on/acrylic nails. I rarely wore it out (because it always looked a hot mess!), but I loved playing around with them.
As an adult I just like plain old short painted nails. These days they have all types of gel manicures that you can wear and you can even do them yourself at home. I looked into it quite a bit...and although it's great that your polish can look flawless for 3 weeks at a time, I would get bored looking at the same color for three weeks. Also I don't like that it takes quite a bit of work to remove. So gel polish isn't my thing. But I can see why a lot of people love it!
Although I'm not into gel polish I still want my nail polish to last at least a couple of days before it starts to chip and flake off. A good top coat is really the key.
I tried Seche Vite back in the day. But I don't like that the bottle goes thick so quickly. I also don't like that it contains one of the big three that can cause health problems. So although I've gone through a few bottles, I wouldn't rebuy.
I think I tried Poshe first anyway. I found a kit in Ross that had it, along with the thinner and the cuticle cream.
This doesn't look as good as usual- I'm down the the last of the bottle and put way too thick of a layer...it didn't come out how it usually does. But it's wearable!
So far, it's my favorite top coat EVER. It corrects any bumps you made in the color layer. It dries mega fast (no more waking up with sheet marks!), and it's pretty glossy. It also doesn't look too thick on the nails (although I do like that look!).
It's a nail polish game changer! The pics are a couple days after applying.
I get at least 2-3 days of completely chip free wear...all the way up to 5 days. Which is basically a miracle for my nails because most time they chip within the hour along with a ton of smudges.
It can get a little thick towards the very bottom. But nothing like the Seche Vite top coat.
I love this stuff. It is the best top coat I have ever tried in my life.
I will probably always buy this top coat. I still do like to try other stuff from time to time...but I'm thinking about just keeping a supply of back up bottles.
