When I first got it I did use as directed only on half your nail for first week. After that I appy to entire nail as a base coat and use nail polish as usual. I don't think it would be good as a top coat. I use seche vite Always as top coat.

I use this for every manicure I give myself...with OPI, Revlon, Sally Hansen, etc. The topcoat works for all brands in my experience. I always use a base coat as well and will sometimes do a second coat of the Vinylux 2-3 days after my manicure for extra chipping protection :)

I've never tried it, but don't know why you would want to. If you use it on the bare nail everything layered on top will stay. I could never keep nail polish on my fingernails until I found it. Now my polish lasts all week.

It's as good a base coat as any that claims to I,prove your nails. Initially, I used 2 coats alone and my nails improved . Sometimes I cover it with polish.The first bottles were deep pink so they sort of looked like a clear pink glaze now the color is hardly pink at all.

I've used this with a clear nail polish on top. And also with a gel top coat. And it didn't dissolve, it came out really nice. I love it.

Mine always lasts for at least a week, unless i pick at it or i missed a spot. I noticed when i do a french mani it doesn't seem to last as long, i don't know why that is, bit this is still the best top coat I've ever used.

Hi India:) I'm like you,new to Seche.I got my fastdry topcoat about a month ago&to; be honest,it was quite a transition from my normal GlossyGlam(by @justricarda on IG).But truly not because it gets thick too fast.Now that I'm used to it I'd completely recommend to anybody!The ONE thing u shud be warned about is...Be SURE&let; your coats dry well before u apply because it WILL shrink your polish.I'd heard that but foundout the hard way:p And also,when it says fastdry that's exactly what it means.Overall itsa great formula!Hope all that was helpful!:) *Kelly

Yes, I used Shellac base and top coat with gelish gel polish on my natural nails. Works really good.

I highly recommend a finish coat. Not required, but once dirty impossible to clean without re-sanding and re-finishing. You can get a flat or satin finish if you don't want gloss.

I agree with Laura. However, the only time I've had the little dots is when I applied to much. This is the best product there is and use it to first CLEAN, like she mentioned, and then apply a coat of wax. The tacky part, I've never experienced. I could imagine a situation though where there was another product already on there - not newly applied, I mean still on the paint. This is polish - it moves paint, is how I like to think of it.

I have used a clear nail strengthening nail polish underneath the vinylux polish. Haven't noticed any problems with the combination.

I've used it only on top of colored nail polish. It is as high gloss as any I've ever used, but the difference lies in its longevity. It doesn't stay as glossy as days go by, but even after a week it still looks like a fairly fresh manicure. I'm amazed by it.

make sure you are using a base coat as well as a top coat. also try cleaning your nails with rubbing alcohol before applying any polish

Hi! I loved it! I sprinkled over my colored polish, let it set for a few minutes, then put a coat of clear over it & it lasted over 5 days - & in GOOD shape. No beads coming off or anything. I was surprised.

I use Shellac topcoat because I only use it when I do a shellac or gel manicure. Otherwise use the adhesive they sell for the foil. I think its called foil adhesive. I hope that hrlps

apply on bare nails, as a base coat, if you want you can apply color, and use it as top coat as well. use it for seven days daily and at the end of the week, remove with nail polish remover, and start fresh. after the first week, you can use with less frequency. it works, it really does.

I like Maas Polish, as it doesn't streak, and cleans very well. It is the best polish I have ever used!
