I'm a fan of the top coat. So I thought the base coat would be just as fantastic. WRONG! A reviewer below said exactly what I experienced: "Dries super quickly, but my polish came off in one...

I have Seche Vite base and top coat. Both are too thick to use with the bottles still half full. I think I had better results with Revon top coat. I don't understand why everyone seems to love...

HG base coat for me. No staining for the past year that I've used this. It's great for people with shallow or no ridges because this base coat is super thin, almost watery. It dries in a minute or...

Dries super quickly, but my polish came off in one piece on each nail. Strange. Top coat is way better.

I'm a little surprised to see that people are using this as a top coat. It was to my understanding that you Seche Clear is a "crystal clear base coat" and is to be used along side Seche Vite Dry...

I wasn't crazy about this base coat. When I painted my mom's nails a Spoiled by Wet'n'wild polish for about $2, it stained her nails pretty badly and I was super suprised because I thought that...

Even though I recently decided to stop using SV's quick-dry top coat, I have continued to use this base coat with great results. Perfect formula, dries fairly fast. I have worn this under all sorts...

I bought this at Winners at $7 and so it's a lot cheaper compared to other retail prices. It works for thin, regular nail polishes, but I don't see a difference for thicker, glittery nail...

Meh. This is nothing like my beloved SV top coat. I don't see anything special about this base coat, and it's pretty expensive. I won't be buying this again.

When using a base coat, I look for a few qualities: Does it have vitamins/minerals to keep my nails healthy? No, Seche Clear does not. Does it prevent dark or yellow polish from staining my...

I used this for a few polishes and it started turning white and flaking at the edges around my polish. It made my nails look horrible. I threw it in the trash. Seche Vite makes a terrific top coat,...
