This is a great top coat in a cool bright blue bottle. Is it better than others? I’m not certain because I’m not very experienced in different top coat options. It does make my regular (not gel)...

Oh, how I wanted to love Vive! I've used Seche Clear and Vite for many years, but they were out of the Vite so I bought this. The Good: it really makes your home-mani look like a salon gel...

I don't like it as a top coat replacement vs the original Seche Vite. It doesn't dry nearly as quickly, leaves nails feeling "rubbery" and "sticky" like a gel polish that hasn't been cleaned up at...

This is simply the best quick-dry setting top coat I've used, hands down. If I paint my nails a flesh-toned color, I can squeak a week out of a manicure, easy. The product sets to a high gloss,...

Updated My verdict is still out because my first use of this product was yesterday. It goes on thick and dried quickly. I’m very hard on my hands and nails so i’m giving it a week and will be...

I feel like this is almost the same product as regular Seche Vite; however, the big difference for me is that this top coat doesn’t shrink once it’s dry. I would prefer a clear bottle so you could...

I found Seche Vive to be an improved version of Seche Vite, but I'm not impressed. The good: - unlike Seche Vite, it won't shrink so bad within 24 hours. It still shrinks, but way-way slower...

I like this better for me than the quick dry top coat. This gel effect dries so fast and leaves me with one of the strongest top coats I’ve ever used. I painted my nails using the Seche base coat...

I use to be a gel manicure addict- who wouldn't with quick drying time and long wear. Now I have gone back to regular manicures and was on the hunt for a top coat that would prolong the wear for at...

I only purchased this because my Seche Vite wasn't available in the store. I can't tell any difference between this and Seche Vite. I love Seche Vite and this is virtually identical, so I love...

Seche Vive is Seche's new top coat advertised to deliver a "feel effect" over any nail polish. I purchased it this week & used it for the first time 5 days ago. Here are my thoughts on it......
