It is THE WORST top coat I have ever used. If you want pretty nails for a day, okay. If you'd like them to last longer, stay away from it! I had actual cracks in my nail polish after one day. Spend the extra dollar and get the NYC $1.99 clear top coat, Grand Central Station. It's waaaay better.

It's $1.99, and I like it better than Seche Vite because it's just as shiny, it's a quarter of the price, and even if it gets a little goopy (like Seche Vite ALWAYS does when the bottle is half full), I can just add a little nail polish thinner and it's back to normal. But now you tell me I can get all of those benefits for $.99?!? HOO.

I was using a speedy top with green tea in it and it caused my polish, especially the sparkles, to peel off and it was the worst! The only time it kept a polish on was WNW's Blue Wants to Be Millionaire. I should pick it up. And good idea on this series, it helps out.Mari Blue Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148292258084993203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-45736196840061279742012-09-16T09:28:31.845-07:002012-09-16T09:28:31.845-07:00These are really awesome recommendations!

The e.l.f. $1 eyeshadow brush is a staple for me. <br /><br />Same goes for the VO5 shampoos & conditioners; they're cheap but they get the job done. My favorite scents are Vanilla Mint Tea and Kiwi Lime. <br /><br />NYC makes some of my favorite drugstore nail polishes but the 99 cent top coat doesn't work so well on me. It crackles all over on my nails as it dries. However, I haven't had any problems with the $1.99 NYC Quick Dry top coat in Grand Central. It's much better than Seche Vite in my opinion. <br /><br />I really wish 666 Brandywine worked on me but I think my lips are too pasty pale for it. 712 Willow works better on me. It's a pinkish brown like Brandywine but a little paler and without Brandywine's bronzey sheen.
