Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

“The chemicals in this are probably going to cause me to sprout a 6th digit, but if you're doing a mani and you're in a hurry / want to go to bed soon, this stuff is the GOAT. I paint my nails multiple times a week (I'm a recovering nail biter) and this gets them dry faster than anything, such that I can fold laundry, go to sleep, or load the dishwasher within 20 minutes of doing my nails without mucking up my nail polish.”

“There is nothing worse than spending an evening painting your naild and then you wake up in the morning with bubbles or impressions from your sheets creasing the polish (I’m looking at you, O.P.I.). This is my secret weapon for last-minute manis before I run out the door because of how quickly it dries and for nail art that doesn’t streak at the last minute! She’s cheap, and you can often find her in person at drugstores.”

“I still find doing my nails to be one of the most cathartic rituals each week. This shortens the process and prevents all that effort from being screwed up.”
