I’ve been using this product for 5-years I’ve Color Street polish and LOVE it!! Before Color Street I was going to the salon for gel frenk pink. I quit due to costs. Seche Vive gives me the look and color protection I needed with no additional equipment, lights, and it dries quickly. I have tried numerous top coats! This one is hands down the best for me.

I've always been a fan of Seche Vite and thought I would give Vive a try. I'm not thrilled with Vive. First I don't like that I can't see through the bottle. And that may sound petty, the closest store to my home that carries any Seche product is 22 miles one way. Yep, here I was doing my nails and I've run out of the Vive. Second, it scratches terribly and I also get huge scrapes dulling the polish. Fourth, it definitely doesn't dry as fast as the Vite. I won't purchase the Vive again.

Hi Gomo'sNails, thank you for sharing your feedback on Seche Vive Instant Gel Effect Top Coat—we’re sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations, especially as a loyal fan of Seche Vite. We understand how frustrating it is to run out unexpectedly, especially with limited access to a nearby store, and we appreciate your thoughts on the bottle design. We’re also sorry about the scratching, dulling, and slower drying time; that’s not the quality we aim to deliver. For best results, we recommend applying thin coats and allowing each layer to dry fully. Thank you for giving Vive a try.

This is THE BEST TOP COAT for natural nails!! Really gives the gel effect, and dries quickly as well. I touch up my manicures with this every tow to three days and my manicures last a week and a half -two weeks. I am one of those ladies who previously would have chipped ruined manicures after one day-all the time. I pray this product is never discontinued!

If you do your own nails, buy this! Your nails will be dry in less than 3 minutes after you apply this. The finish is shiny and looks like you've had your nails professionally done. I've been using this for more than a decade. The only downside is that it has a strong smell, but I'm willing to put up with that for the convenience.

The best top coat, hands down. Erases many mistakes and smoothes out to a gel finish

I do really love this top coat. It dries very fast and shiny. It is very thick which is good… but with the bottle design I have no idea how much is left in there. I lean it to the side hopeful about more polish attaching to the brush but can never be sure.

This top coat is almost like wearing gel nail polish except it comes off with nail polish remover. It is tough and lasts. Goes on easily and dries to a beautiful, hard shine.

I applied the nail gel and it peeled off the very next day. I was hoping it would last. It was shiny and dried quickly. I guess if you did absolutely nothing with your hands it might have lasted longer. You can’t have a job, take care of your home, etc… it literally flaked off. And I wear gloves when cleaning my home!:/ oh well, on to the next! Thank you!
Peeled right off

Peeled off in less than 24 hours! I applied 2 thin coats over bare nails yesterday afternoon and this morning I noticed the tips had chipped and there were signs of lifting on all but one other nail. Very disappointing.

This product can cause birth defects! If you buy online it doesn’t show this information. I spent an hour painting my nails only to see the warning after using it. It should be on the front of the product.

Best clear nail polish top coat. Dries super fast and makes my nails feel think like gel without having to use a gel color base (you can use any nail color you like).

It looks very glossy like gel , and dries up very fast. But it can be easily peeled within 1-2 hours. Not at all recommended.

This gel like finish top coat is amazing! It dries quickly and the shine is long lasting. It feels indestructible on your nails but comes off super easy when ready to remove it (even with non-acetone nail polish remover). You need this in your life, I promise.
YES YES YES, get it!

Wow! I love it! It instantly dried my nails, I used it with Olive quick dry and along with a OPI natural base coat! Great results, I’m so happy with this Seche VIVE instant gel effect purchase. PLEASE BUY, it is definitely a game changer and you’ll save money for such a nice manicure.

Best value gel. The best clear nail gel out there! I love the finished look. Leaves a glass like finish and last so much longer than some of these other brands I've wasted my money on. Love this stuff!!
