I use Seche Vite. I've seen some people say that it shrinks up on them but I haven't had that happen. I think the key is to use more than you think you need. I pretty much glop it on.

I do my nails before I go to bed. I put this on top and then put nail oil over it. Go to bed and wake up with no smudges. I am careful for a few minutes after finishing.

I use essie speed setter, nails dry in about five minutes to do almost anything I want.

Tried them all, Poshe beats the others by a mile, trust me on this!! Smooth to the touch in one minute, nails feel cushiony like glass. Get it on ebay or amazon, usually $5 per bottle or so. I love it so much, I take it to my salon.

Up until recently I faithfully used Nails Inc 45 Second Top Coat with Kensington Caviar.

I'm not sure why but I can't find it anymore. It seems to be out of stock everywhere and now Sephora shows "product not carried". Too bad because it was a very good product with high gloss shine and super fast drying power. I will consider suggestions here and go from there. Thanks for the suggestions ladies.

I use a drying spray from Sally Beauty. I found the fast drying polishes caused my nails to chip badly in a short period.

Essie has great fast drying and very shiny.

I've received various brands (OPI, Essie, butter LONDON, DL, Zoya, Orly, Julep, Nails Inc) in kits and with the exception of Seche Vite, all have served me well. I know many love Seche Vite but for me, I have shrinkage around the tip and edges and it gets thick halfway through the bottle. (I've tried their thinner but it's just not the same)

The last few weeks I've been using butter LONDON Patent Gel Flawless Topcoat. (also using the Flawless basecoat) I use it with all brands I have.

I have tried a ton of these products and my absolute fave is Sally Hansen megashine. This stuff is amazing. Dries in 60 seconds and leaves a beautiful shine. It also is the only product that prevents chipping for me. My manicure lasts and lasts. Highly recommend. Love love love.

@Shelbelle I agree, Poshe is the BEST! I tried many speed setting topcoats that performed poorly. A salesperson in a beauty supply outlet recommended Poshe, I tried it and was immediately "sold". That was 5 or 6 years ago.

I totally agree! I bought the base coat and top coat of this brand off of Amazon years ago and it has saved my manicures immensely! My nails stay perfect for a long time! I have reordered 3 times already!

I would have agreed on the SH Mega Shine until I tried Poshe, in my opinion, Poshe is even better!!

I've been using Seche Vite for over 10 years and I love it. I've tried other things, but I always come back to Seche Vite.

I can get shrinkage, but usually it happens when the bottle starts to get thick. I just add some nail polish thinner and it's good as new.

I found a pro store that doesn't require a license to purchase and buy the big 4-ounce refill bottle there, so whenever my bottle gets about half full, I add some thinner and top off from the refill bottle.

For all of my bad luck with nail polish products Essie Top Coats are not on the list. I'm getting decent wear from Speed Setter and Gel Setter. In my case this means instead of polish peeling off before the end of day 1, it's lasting 3 to 4 days.

Ok I will have to try Poshe. Where can you buy it? I have never seen it.

Hi, Doodles, you wont be sorry!! I get it on ebay, for around $5 for a single bottle, those who list multiples like 2 or 3 at a time sell it for less.

Thanks, everyone! I ended up buying a bottle of Seche Vite at Sally Beauty the other day. I haven't tried it yet.
