Hey guys, so today I'm going to talk with you about the pros and cons of 'that infamous top coat' that every ones mother, brother and sister knows about. It retails for £9.00 at Boots and is acknowledged as the worlds most finest top coat. Seche say 'Its patented formula allows it to penetrate through the nail lacquer to the base coat forming a single solid coating over the nail plate for a much more durable finish which is guaranteed not to yellow.'
PROS:
- I did give a really nice glossy finish to my nails although I did notice that on the third/fourth day it had lost its shine and it had a semi-matte finish.
- It gave my nails a gel-like finish no matter how cheap or expensive the nail polish was.
- It made some nail polishes last a day longer (most nail polishes last around 3-4 days on me as I'm extremely hand heavy with taking A Level Art, Textiles and Food Technology, typing and doing housework)
- It does dry within seconds although the first 20-30 minutes are prone to wear marks.
CONS:
- I found that it did streak on some nails but maybe that was because I didn't use enough product (when using this you need a bubble to fall of on the end of the brush and then apply that to the nail, and as a result I have some blue nail polish in the bottom of my bottle)
- I found that it did shrink on some nails when I had to use more than three coats, which wasn't that noticeable but when I had noticed it did bug me.
- I have noticed that it has made my nail polish more prone to peeling.
So overall, it's a nice product but I don't see why people are obsessed with it, but hey, each to their own. Have you tried this top coat?
