Seche Vite, Best top coat ever??

I know I'm a little late with this top coat trend, but I saw it cheap on Ebay the other day and thought I would see what the hype was all about.
"Seche Vite's patented formula penetrates through the nail lacquer to the base coat forming a single solid coating over the nail plate which is guaranteed not to yellow. It goes on immediately after the nail lacquer, no waiting. Apply thickly, get a nice bead on the end of the brush, then set softly down on the first nail painted."( http://www.crushcosmetics.com.au/nails/top-coats/seche-vite-dry-fast-top-coat)
I thought I would so a little experiment to see if Seche Vite really lived up to it's name. I applied two coats of a cheap $2 nail polish (NYC feather Boa) and then applied one coat of Seche Vite to my right hand only while the polish was semi wet. It didn't drag the nail polish like I thought it might which was a plus.
Below are the pics I took of this polish after being on for three days! I am really impressed as I normally take this polish off after 1 day as it chips so bad as my nails get quite a beating most days! ( I never use to wear any top coat though tsk tsk!)
The results speak for themselves!
I have heard of some negatives of this top coat though, 1. It thickens up to quickly in the bottle (It is quite a thick top coat to begin with),  2. I was a bit freaked about opening it when I got it as there was a massive warning label- "Contains ingredients that can harm or deform your unborn child" Geeezus! Lucky i am not preggers or I would not have used this. ( I am guessing the ingredient they are talking about is Toulene).
I think it is a good thing that they openly have a warning label on the box. One of my friends was using Revitanail nail strengthener when pregnant and only just noticed in tiny writing that it contains Formaldehyde which is just as bad as Toulene! 

I actually really want the Seche Vite V polish which you can cure under a UV light over normal nail polish with natural nails and it acts like a gel sealant. ( I have Glaze n Go but that can't be used over normal nail polish as it cracks).

The cheap polish (Great colour though)

After 3 days, pretty good i think

After three days. Skanky nails eew!

Have you tried this? What do you think??

Have a nice weekend, Nicole :)

NOTD- Essie Lilacism

This would have to be one of my favourite pastel nail polish colours. It goes on very nicely (not streaky), I usually apply 2 coats for even coverage.
I get my Essie polishes off Ebay & they normally cost around $9 Aust including postage.
Are you in to the whole pastel craze that is going on at the moment?

NOTD- Australis knickers in a knot

Talk about a bright colour! This polish is such a beautiful bright red/coral. I do need to apply two coats and it does chip after a day or two, but hey! $3 for this freaking gorgeous pop of colour.. i'm not complaing!!
Buy Australis polishes at Big W, Target, Priceline, anywhere really :)

*Easter Bling* China Glaze Liquid Crystal polish

Happy Easter long weekend my fellow Aussies!
Feels great to have 4 days off from work. To celebrate I brought myself an Easter present :)
China Glaze Liquid Crystal.
This one caught my eye as it is so damn blingy! This colour is from their new line "Prismatic Chroma Glitters". It's a bluey/ purple colour with holographic glitters in it, the only problem is that when you do eventually want to remove it it's a pain in the butt to get off lol, but that's the same as most glittery polishes i guess.
It doesn't take long to dry with 2 coats for added shimmer.You will need to apply a few coats of top coat as it feels a bit gritty without. You can purchase China Glaze polishes for about $13, www.crushcosmetics.com.au/china-glazey is a good online shop to get them from.

I would love to know what everyone is doing for Easter, (apart from scoffing on eggs like me hehe), i will be relaxing and also studying for my IPL and Laser Saftey Officers Certificate so i can zap those nasty hairs off peoples bodies! ;)
