Poor quality
I have used this product for several years, with fantastic results. It is the only top coat I ever use. However, I am extremely disappointed with this purchase. I gave myself a manicure and I do not believe I received a legit product. If I did, it was watered down with something. My nails ended up looking awful, dull, not nice and super shiny as they do after every other manicure. I initially thought it was the brush so I switched it out with my old bottle. It is not the brush: when comparing the two, my old bottle contains a thicker product that slowly drips down. This new one just streams straight down off of the brush. I wish I hadn’t made this purchase.

Too pricey for result
Painted my nails Monday, already chipped and pulling away Wednesday. This was $20 plus tax. What a waste. The only thing good was that it did dry fast and did well to cover foil on nails. Doesn’t matter if foil covered or not if I have to redo nail 2 days later. Also not as shiny 2 days later, which is also a bummer. Haven’t washed dishes or done anything harsh. Used heavy coat as directed. Extremely disappointed with this over priced product.

9 days, and nails are still almost perfect; VERY shiny
I’m wearing Essie and any polish (Essie, OPI, Cuccio, and cheap brands I buy in my country) would last me 3-4 days until I noticed some chipping. Sometimes it would take about 5 days but it was never consistent.I applied Seche Vive after I painted my nails and 2 days later I reapplied it. Then I applied it like 3 days later. Before application of S.V, it was still shiny and unchipping.I used this for myself and my mom and it’s been a lifesaver! My mom’s nails usually last a much longer time even when she uses her hands more than I do, but she LOVES the shine it provides.

Increases Wear!
This is my go-to final top coat at the end of my manicure process. I have noticed my manis last longer ever since I started wearing this. It dries very fast (30-60 sec), to a hard, shiny, glass-like finish. So it’s great on top of glitter or holographic polishes. And you can (I have) used a matte top coat on top, which works and also increases the wear of that. This top coat is more about increasing wear and helping your polish chip less rather than fast-drying and smoothening the polish underneath. If that’s what you want then I actually recommend the Sache Vite fast-drying top coat instead (I actually wear both, Vite first after Polish application then Vive next/last after nail art). My manicures usually last 1-2 weeks.

Good product.
This product I highly recommend. It goes on shiny and stays shiny. I have real nails and this top coat is great. Nothing last forever but a couple of days in I always polish and top coat again. The wear time is a good five days. Wearing rubber gloves can help it to last longer. Then you’ll be happy for nine or so days. 👍🏼 Real nails and polish in water starts peeling and chipping. Oh dries fast too.

Seche Vive top coat
This is the only top coat o use. The clearness and the long lasting effect are just as good if not better than gel. This top coat protects my nails for up to three weeks with just one coat. Definitely a must have.

Shiny, hard finish in under a minute!!
I used to spend the better part of a day on my nails, only to mess one up and have to redo it! This has truly saved me time and money! When they say it is a gel-like product, that’s it in a nutshell. I actually can put it on wet polish and it passes the “click” test in under a minute! I do two coats and there is no chipping at all. I can go two weeks in between polishes. It gives a nice shiny finish and I am absolutely in love with this product!

Shiny but not as thick as would like
Beautiful shine but requires more coats than I’d like, I will typically use a cheaper brand gel like topcoat and then put this on top and it’s super smooth and shiny.

AMAZING GEL EFFECT!
The reason why I’m giving it 3 stars is because I ordered this gel effect polish and refill and I received the original seche vite. So I’m disappointed that I have a huge bottle that I wont ever use. BUT. I have a small bottle of this product and I love it!! The sheerness and thickness of this product is amazing. The glossy gel finish lasts over 2 weeks when i use it on my press on nails and the dry time is super quick. The original formula (seche vite)is amazing too but not as shiny after drying.

Worth it!!
Everyone said it’s the cats meow…They weren’t kidding.. After about 4 or 5 days I reapply a coat only because I’m so rough with my hands. Such a joy to be doing my own gell nails now. Also many are not aware if it gets thick on you half way thru little or big bottle there is a thinner for THIS product. Don’t just use any other thinner.

Great bundle set value. Seche is the best!
I love seche products. I have been using seche vite which is quicker drying but was recommended seche vive for its high gloss. Dries a touch slower but still quick dry. Shine is beautiful and more like a gel shine. If you purchase the small bottle in stores it will run you about $8 or so. This is the gift that keeps on giving for nail enthusiasts.

Love it
I had a “normal size” before and now that I ran out I had to buy a larger quantity because it is the best gel effect top coat I have found. I love how fast it works and how shiny it makes my nail polish look. I also have a strong aversion for chipped nail polish, but I now use this on any brand of nail polish and they last a lot longer. If I am in a pinch and the nail polish on one finger is chipped, I can just do a quick touch-up of color and this top coat; you could never tell that I had to “fix” it.

Great top coat
I hesitated to buy this in bulk because I was going to be sensible and finish the many bottles of quick dry top coat already on hand. And, I tried, I really did but none of them work for the late night manicure. I’d wake up with nails textured by my sheets or gouged from knocks I didn’t even notice. I do not apply this or any top coat to wet nails because I’ve had shrinkage from every brand that way. I let them dry to the lightest touch and then float it on. The shine is great and they really can resemble a gel manicure if that’s your aim. And, it preserves manicures done with decent polish. If you’ve got a brand or shade that chips quickly on you throw it away even if others swear to the heavens it wears like iron on them. Don’t count on a top coat rehabilitating it. Otherwise, you’ll enjoy how quickly this dries, how silly shiny your nails will remain for days and the extra days your polish will last. I change polishes frequently but if I’m going to be busy I’ll do a full manicure with a ride or die polish topped with Seche Vive and refreshed with a thin coat every three days. It’ll last until I get sick of the polish or until I take it off because my nails have grown out too noticeably. Good stuff.

A great buy for a great topcoat that lives up to its claim!!
I encountered this brand after being encouraged to do so in my local Sally’s beauty store. I have today that absolutely love this topcoat. I think that it holds up to the claim of being a “gel effect” topcoat. the finish is absolutely beautiful. Realizing that I love this brand and used it so much I realized that I needed more, however the cost per bottle was a bit to much. This is when I came across the professional kit by Seche.While it may seem expensive upfront, purchasing this kit it extremely cost effective. To add to the greatness not only do you get the 4 ounce bottle but you get a 1/2 ounce bottle as well. If you do the math, you are saving quite a bit by purchasing and refilling. The only negatives I would’ve to say is that a spout for ease of refilling, well I think that it is useless. the bottle is a coated glass thus depending on gravity to pour. Therefore you can’t squeeze the polish into the smaller bottle. It is much easier to pour the contents into the smaller bottle,but be careful not to waste. The final critique is you can’t see the amount in either bottle due to the opaque blue coated bottle and the weight of the glass. OTHERWISE, I highly recommend this product, it is great!!!

Universal gel like top coat with no light device required.
Great product! Make sure you read the description and directions. This one does NOT work like Seche Vite which is made to go on wet polish. This one is made to go on DRY polish. I use the day after I polish my nails and then every other day.This product replaces all of the individual brand gel like top coats. I have used this with CND Vinylux, Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polish, and OPI Infinite Shine colors instead of their matching brand top coats all with great results. I have used over regular polish as well.Buy this big bottle and save yourself money in the long run. The only tricky part is refilling the small bottle since it is opaque.

Best top coat
I paint my nails every week so I go through a lot of top coat. This is the best quality top coat I’ve found for a great price! The “gel effect” is real and I often get asked if my natural nails are fake because this top coat makes any polish pop with how clear and glossy it is, plus it’s quick drying!

The best ever!!
Have saved soo many polish applications. This stuff dries so quickly! By the time you’re finished applying it the first hand is completely dry. No scritches or scratches, hair, fluff, crumbs or anything stuck to the surface! It also acts like a lens; makes a good paint job look great.The large 4oz bottle of Seche Vive is SUCH a deal!! It makes my polish last for at least 7-10 days. If you buy this you won’t be disappointed.

Very nice
I’m a nail tech and I’m extra. So I’d like to pamper my customers with better products rather than the generic ones provided at our nail shop.I use both top coats from Seche and I prefer this Vive version for many reasons.It has that super glossy finish like a gel polish does. You’ll fall in love with it for the first time. It doesn’t pull the color pigment like Seche Vite. This is of course depends vastly on brands and colors. The Vite top coat doesn’t pull all the time, but when it happens, meh.The only down side of the Vive is that I can’t see what’s inside the bottle. I can’t tell how much I have left.Usually, I’d refill when it’s passed half the bottle. You’ll notice as the coat is thicken up significantly. Then, I’d put some Seche Restore before refilling.When using Seche Restore, you can roll the bottle between your palms, it helps unifying the formula. You’d do the same after refilling with more Vive.

Not any better than vite
I an someone who paints there nails at least about 2 times a week son needless to say I have used a lot of different brands of top coats until I found Seche Vite it’s the best I have ever found for the price. Normally I would not have purchased any other top coat but I keep seeing this and because it’s the same company I thought I would give it a try. So now that u have used it serval times over different brands of polish this is how the w compare to me. Seche Vive(blue bottle) & Seche Vite(clear bottle) both are fast drying, nice durable finish on polish the only difference to me is it seems that Vive doesn’t harden as well as the Vite and sometimes my polishes will chip in a day or 2 . Overall both are great but in my opinion I dont think the vive is any better than the vite

My Go-To Top coat every time.
Who doesn’t love nice thick coats of glossy top coat? After experiencing some shrinking with Vite, I decided to try Vive after hearing how well it performs and WOW. It is a total game changer. Might as well call it Frank’s Hot Sauce bc I put that s**t on everything! Seche Vive top coat doesn’t shrink, stink, and passes the nail tap clink test after 2 minutes (aka it’s totally dry)!! I couldn’t ask for a better product, but do be in mind, all nail products work differently for everyone based on our unique chemistries. What works for me might not for you and vice versa, it’s all experimenting and finding what you like best & this is it for me!

Great Top Coat
This gel like topcoat is wonderful. Its been the best I’ve used in my personal life and my nail career. It doesn’t go on goopy thick, it goes on smooth and dries to a very smooth and silky gloss. Would highly recommend this product to any individual doing their own nails or any professional nail tech.
