Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

Advantages: High gloss professional finish
Disadvantages: doesn't stop chipping but then, what does?

...room business, and has used Seche Vite on clients and for personal use for years. She bought it from Sally's hair and beauty supplies but it is widely availabe over the internet - I bought mine from ebay at just under £6 per bottle (plus postage) for a 0.5oz bottle. Basically, the formula penetrates through the nail polish to the base coat forming a single solid coating over the nail plate for a very durable finish. The official blurb is that its ...
...product that eliminates chipping, and seche vite, wonderful though it is, is not about to change that. Its not a major criticism, it's just this is an honest review and I wouldn't want anyone to buy it thinking its going to stop chipping. That said, It does make your polish much longer lasting. Firstly apply a base coat (this is important as seche vite bonds with it) followed by your nail polish. To apply, you get a nice bead of it on your brush ...

Review of Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat

My most favourite type of lycra!

Advantages: Easy to apply, gives a lovely finish and the range has some lovely colours to choose from
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...silver writing that it is Rimmel 'London' Lycra Wear and that it lasts up to 5 days and is super durable polish and the colour is stated (in my case the colour is Grape Sorbet, 307). On the back of the bottle (now all in small white writing) I'm told it is chip resistant and flammable, some information is given in foreign languages, contact details for Rimmel are listed, I'm told it is made in Spain and finally the size is stated. nice enough little ...
...is really simple to use. The consistency is really good not being too thin or runny or anything and not being too thick and/or heavy either. It simply glides over the nails and clings well, drying in a highly glossy way in a couple of minutes and I do feel like with most nail polishes/varnishes that your best to apply two coats of this just for a really even look and better durability. It doesn't stink to high heaven or agitate skin or nails either! ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

Nice nail varnish as always, but disappointing colour

Advantages: Smooth and even to apply, long lasting
Disadvantages: Not the same colour as advertised on the website

Since being bought a Nails Inc gift set a few Christmasses ago, I now only use this make as I find it is the smoothest nail varnish I have used and lasts chip-free for the longest. I buy a lot of the different colours from the Nails Inc website on a regular basis (usually on pay day as a treat!) as you can create your own colour collections and save a lot of money doing so - bottles are £10.50 sold separately but you can buy 3 bottles for £20 on ...
...not pink. Saying that, Nails Inc were more than helpful in trying to resolve the situation. I emailed them as I wondered if they had sent the wrong colour (despite the correct name on the bottle) and replied within a day apologising for my disappointment and sent another bottle in the post. Unfortunately, the colour was exactly the same, leading me to think the description of the colour on the website is misleading. However, even though it is not ...

Review of Nails Inc Little Venice

Bright, long lasting colour.

Advantages: great colour, extremely long lasting, easy to remove.
Disadvantages: none!

...quirky and fashionable (like all barry m products) and do not disapoint. The application is just as easy as any other nail varnish. It takes about a week to start chipping slightly, but at the same time it is not difficult to get off. The one I am focusing on, fuschia (302) is an extremely bright and fun colour, that receives lots of compliments. The nail varnish is definitely worth buying, as it is extremely cheap, and there is a variety of colours ...

Review of Barry M Nail Paint

My hardest nail colour

Advantages: Strengthens nails
Disadvantages: Easily over applied

I first started using Sally Hansen Nailcare products when I recieved a free gift pack of the Miracle nailgrowth polish by Sally Hansen, and I have stuck to the range ever since. I had been browsing around the sale items in my local chemist when I came across Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Polish, in Platinum Frost. As the polish were in the reduced stock area it did not come in a box, although the box is more or less the same shape and style as the rest ...
...endurance I suggest using a Sally Hansen clear polish to finish. This polish can take alittle longer than your rimmel 60 seconds laquer, and is easily smudged especially when you have applied more coats, or thicker layers. Hard as Nails helps to strengthen your nails, and when used with a good quality clear gloss it lasts longer. This colour remained chip free for about a week, which is really good for me as I am constantly using my hands, as this ...
