Seriously tough topcoat?
Comments

I don't find Seche Vite that great as a lasting topcoat (sometimes I can peel my whole polish off in one go if I use Seche) - it does make your polish dry quickly and super shiny though.0

ive tried loads of different top coats and found nothing works. i add a topcoat every night to strengthen it and i managed to keep a french manicure i did myself looking perfect for 10 days before i took it off.
also rubber gloves when doing all housework!0 -
agree, lumos is the best, and highly recommended by professional nail techs.
you can get the top coat for £3.30, a small bottle, but good for trying it out.

I too use a good top coat, so that I can buy cheap polish and it will last.
(my current nail polish, barry m, has been on since last Sunday, and still OK, apart from growth of course).0 -
all who mentioned Lumos, shame on you! you've forced me to give the base & top coat a go.
not too bad though, both 15ml sizes & delivered for £16.83 off ebay. seems to last a long time & shouldn't need the thinner that you have to buy for seche vite.0 -

Agreed, nikki2084 & terra-ferma should be ashamed of themselves. I'll have to try Lumos now as well, just to see if its better than Seche or the Sally Hansen one I love. And I wasn't buying any more nail products EVER.0 -
We should be thrown out of MSE because we get people to spend more money instead of saving... lol lol

My lumos base and top coats arrived this morning and I've applied them with an OPI colour. Am very impressed already. Looking forward to seeing how it fares.......Science adjusts its views based on what's observed.
Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved.
