Hi everyone,

I showed you my nails after the application on Thurday night, the day I took these photo's was Saturday night after my bath. The bath ruined the Seche Vite nails, it could stand the quick morning showers (not washing my hair) but the bath....

I switched hands and as you can see, still the Seche Vite is the one with the most chipping.

Hi everyone,

Here is the second part of the OPI vs Seche Vite "challenge".
I tried to show you the difference between the hold of the nailpolish using Seche Vite as a topcoat on one hand and OPI as a topcoat on the other. But then I heard that well, I'm righthanded sooo one hand should chip faster (it was my left hand that actually chipped faster). Sooo to show everyone the same test, only with the brand of coloured polish differen and the topcoats switched, I did this post.

I'm wearing:

• Nail Tek - Step one (cleans, primes and reinforces nails),
• Nail Tek - Foundation II (intensive therapy),
• Nail Tek - Foundation II (ridge-filling base coat with strengthener),
• China Glaze - Custom Kicks (three coats. This polish has nailhardners in it and this colour is from the Kicks collection) I'm also wearing this colour in this post, I talk about how this polish is a little greener then on the pictures. This is because of the gold glimmer in the polish. Also this polish chipped very quickly that time, so I wanted to test it again. Another problem I had with this polish (both times) is bubbles.
• OPI - Fast Drying Topcoat on the left hand
• Seche Vite - TopCoat on the right hand

Hi everyone,

I showed you my nails after the application on Tuesday, today it's Thursday night and after two days of wear and today's shower my nails suddenly look like this:

Seche Vite Dry Fast Topcoat:

OPI RapiDry TopCoat:

Quite a difference right? The OPI is pretty perfect still (only a mini chip on the index finger), and the Seche Vite one is ruined. This nailpolish is supposed to stay on for 10 days, and this polish lasted 2 days on the Seche Vite hand. So for all of you wondering which one is better? Well, the Seche Vite dried quicker, butttt the OPI chipped less. So my favourite remains the OPI, and you can now see why.

Hi everyone,

Finally the long promised test of the Topcoats.
