Review: Seche Vite Dry Fast Topcoat!

Since I'm quite a big fan of nail art, I love to be able to keep my designs as long lasting as possible. That's when a good Topcoat comes in. I've tried a few Topcoats now, but to be honest none of them have been very good. I took the plunge and purchased this one, despite the pretty hefty price tag. This Topcoat cost roughly between £9-£10, it doesn't say on the Boots website nor Superdrug.









In all honesty this Topcoats really not worth the price tag. Like I said the main reason I purchased this was because of the long lasting polish claims. I can usually get about a day or two with this Topcoat without chipping. I also found the colour nail polish I applied under the Topcoat to smear when I applied it. The packaging is about average, it does its job but not the most stylish.

However one thing I do like about this polish is the shine, the shine wears from when I first apply the Topcoat till when I remove it ( a week.) In a way it also bonds the polish together if you get what I mean? Like sort of making it all 1 layer. The dry time is excellent, way better then my last Sally Hansen Topcoat ( Review Here) It dries basically within seconds!

Overall I just wouldn't bother trying this Topcoat. For the price it certainly isn't worth what it is, for £9's in my opinion I would expect more then this. I might consider trying this as a Base coat instead as smoothing polish amazingly.

New MUA Products And Seche Vite Haul!

So yesterday I went to town again. I've been dieing to pick up some of the new MUA products, and I was in desperate need of a new top coat. As my Sally Hansen one had almost run out, and the formula had gone all bad. So this is what I got...




Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
That's right! I finally took the plunge and decided to purchase Seche Vite's famous Dry Fast top coat. If you follow me on Twitter, you would know a few months ago I was debating purchasing this one or another Sally Hansen. I'm so glad I decided on this. I used it about 30 minutes ago when I was painting my nails, so far I love it! It was £9 from Boots, which some might think is a tad to expensive for a top coat.

MUA Pro Going For Gold Eyeshadow Palette
In case you didn't know already, but you probably did, MUA have recently brought out two new eye palettes. Undressed and Going For Gold. I was torn between deciding which of the two to get first. When I couldn't find Undressed in Superdrug *Silently Crys* I thought I may swell get Going For Gold as I love gold shades with my green eyes. This was £4, likewise all the other palettes.

MUA Pro Every Lash Mascara
I'm a sucker for mascara, like I've mentioned before. I've tried every mascara in the MUA range, some of which I've loved but some not so much. So when they launched a new one, with a bendy wand, I just needed it. Stupidly enough I got the "waterproof black" one instead of just black. I wore it today, soon to be in a FOTD post, I love it! It was only £3.

NOTW: Union Jack Nails

Its Sunday, which means a new nail design!

This week I decided to do Union Jack nails, after seeing union jack washing up liquid in ASDA. Obviously meaning for the Queens golden jubilee, which in my opinion is slightly over rated, as in people going overboard with the whole union jack theme and what not.

But anyways I still decided to do Union Jack nails and here they are....


Products I used....
  • Sally Hansen Double Duty Base coat & Topcoat
  • Sally Hansen Insta-dri Anti Chip Topcoat
  • Barry M Colbat Blue 
  • Barry M Matt White 
  • Barry M Bright Red 
The other hand turned out a bit sloppier, but apart from that I like this design. Barry M nail polishes have got to be my most favourite nail polishes I've ever tried, and theres loads to choose from in the range for a inexpensive £2.99!

Any ideas or requests on what design I should do next week?

Thanks for reading! xxxx
