Holy hell. Thank you for making a simple vid on a simple topic. You should see the agonizing vids out there on this and most women only reviewe one or compared two fast drying nail top coats. Went on for 45 min or more!!! I appreciate you, haha! So, overall, Seche Vite winner, Essie #2, almost tied with Revlon that came in 3rd, and you have Sally & LA dead last. Not even last, just a "do not recommend, at all! 😂" thanks again!

Thanks for the great video! I don't think I could ever bring myself to wear the same color for weeks and weeks on end, so I appreciate you taking one for the team and putting this comparison together. It's a really useful thing to have out there.

you need to try essie top coat gel couture, that's the best for long lasting and shine, and I find that it does help with faster drying time, even though it's not specified

[MissyReiss]

All of Essie’s top coats are the best I’ve ever used. I’m a former manicurist and have natural nails. I’ve tried them all (not really, but all the top brands 😉). Every time, every type (reg., gel, fast-drying, etc.), Essie came out on top!

[lovelysentiments]

Nothing tops seche vite for shine and quick drying (but sometimes the shringage is intense)! If I have more time and want a longer wearing top coat my go-to is the Essie Gel Setter. That stuff also really helps level and smooth any imperfections in my polish.

This is so off topic but you have such a beautiful and soothing voice! It's so girly and I love it!!

[Yoshimotogoo]

love this, thank you! I’d love to see you try “gel like “ top coats

[obliviouscandybar]

Thanks for taking one for the team to give all these top coats a fair competition. I would struggle to wear the same color for weeks on end.

I appreciate this review of the many drugstore top coats. I used to use the red Sally Hansen top coat and had good luck with it. Interestingly, I once tried a different Sally Hansen top coat that gave me awful results.

This was so thorough and helpful thank you! Seche Vite's always been my favourite and I was curious if the others were better...

Recommendation time! While I also love Seche Vite, because it is tried and true, it has caused shrinkage for me before with certain brands of nail polish. But if you're at all into indie brands Glisten and Glow has a great quick dry top coat. Also Vibrant Scents Fast and Hard is outstanding, and you can get their topcoats in many, many different wonderful scents. ILNP also has a great quick dry called Glass Candy which performs beautifully. Just a few to try out for ya!

Thanks for the great review! My personal favorites are sally hansen and seche vite.I hate both of their brushes and flood my cuticles even when I'm careful. I decide which one depending on my nail art; if I need Maniology smudge free tc, I use sally hansen bc seche vite (and even Maniology qdtc) flake away from the smudge free tc.
I bought Zoya tc on sale and like that one too and love the brush.
As you grow in viewers or just in your own curiosity, I've heard great things about indie top coats like glisten and glow or vibrant vinyls etc. Give the Zoya a try if it goes on sale again!

Once I found Seche Vite 15 years ago I’ve never looked back. I wish it had been around when I started doing my nails at age 13 in the mid 1960's!

[nancyblackstock]

Great vlog, I mostly use Essie base and colour but top coat I use Sally Hansen I did my manicure four days ago, and have no chipping only wear, so perhaps the Sally Hansen was old. I do wear my nails shorter than yours. I shall try Essie top coat again. Thanks

[frickinfrick]

I appreciate the commitment to controlling variables, great comparison!

[ur_highness-onkx]

This video n its maker is very appreciated.There aren't many videos like this

[shamrockglitter]

Have you ever tried out the door? I actually like it better than seche vite. It doesn’t get thick and gloopy but still looks gel like. People always ask if I have gel on because my nails are so shiny.

[HCSAgirl]

thank you for your sacrifice <3 this video is really helpful

[Gingerwalker.]

It is so good to know that Seche Vite is still the winner. I love this top coat so much, that when I discovered it, I ended up buying all the women I am close to a bottle and they all loved it too. I have been using this product for about 13 years, I believe. I still have some from my first purchase all those years ago and it still works great.

My top 2 are sally hansen and seche vite ❤ they both work great for me, although I prefer sally hansen, makes regular nail polish look like gel on my nails

[dhuratadobbins]

I use the Essie speed setter, that is magic!!! I am looking to see if there are any other ones
