When I do my nails, I can never sit long enough for my nails to completely dry before the urge to do things overwhelms me, I end up typing, writing, or making jewelry, and alas, a nail becomes smeared.
I was watching Jen's basic nail polish tutorial, and noticed for the first time that she used the Seche Vite top coat. Yea, I've tried top coats before, and I didn't realize how DIFFERENT they can be. I used to use AVON's uhh something about freeze dry thingy that was supposed to help the polish dry faster, glossy & smooth. .... It sucked. Still took at least 5 minutes before the nails were touchable without smudging :\ I picked up a bottle of Seche Vite from CVS when it was on sale for aprox. $8, with free nail stickers (haha). Just when I thought I'd given up on topcoats, I decided to give this one a go.
** This is a random note, but I've been a nail-biter all my life. The only time I DON'T chew on my nails is when I have polish on. In an effort to make my nails longer and more beautiful, I have decided to invest in beautiful polishes and top coats so I will eventually (ideally, hopefully) be able to give myself amazingly cute manicures ;)
One word for Seche Vite: Genius.
WHY did I not use this before?!
I LOVE THIS TOP COAT. It actually makes the polish dry SUPER fast, and by super fast, I mean, within a minute or so, you can touch your nails. Within 5 minutes, it's DONE.
The formula doesn't smell very nasty, is quite THIICK, and goes on beautifully. I like putting it on my entire nail, and let it kinda of seep onto my skin-- I can then easily it peel/pick it off, along with any other imperfect nail polish that got on my skin. It leaves your polish looking AMAZINGLY glossy-- I'm constantly rubbing my nails because I love that feeling.
The final verdict:
Would I buy this over, and over again? Heck yes. I think every single nail-painter has got to have this. Saves you tons of time/frustration-- plus, you get beautiful results. I am finally inspired to paint my nails all the time.
GO BUY THIS. I might even buy a bottle to give away soon, because I like it so much ;)
BTW, Seche has a whole line of nail stuff- not just top coats. Base coats, fillers, etc. I can't wait to check the rest of the line out!
If you've tried other products from Seche, let me know what you think! If you also have the Seche Vite top coat, how do you personally like it?
Okay, so I made 2 pairs of OOAK earrings last night.
OOAK = One of a kind. This means there is only ONE pair of such a design ... EVER. You're guaranteed a unique piece. Some of the components for these designs are either hard to find, or come from swaps with fellow jewelry artisans.
Enjoy!
^ I really love these, and am seriously contemplating keeping these for myself :X
If no one claims them within a week, I think I'll keep em. They're very long, dangly, beautiful, obscenely cute.
^ These are girly, quite magical. Perfect for your inner-faerie.
See the new earrings HERE.
