I need to update my opinon from post #7, last year. I totally love SV now, but it definitely works best with the base coat. Also, I find that if I do a refresher top coat mid-week, it makes my edge lifts worse....so I basically just let the manicure wear for the 5-7 days I normally get.
 
I am on the fence about SV. I absolutely love its drying power--in less than 5 minutes my mani is completely dry and I don't have to worry about smudging or anything. The shine is also great. However, the smell is awful and it seems to linger for so long, even though I always paint my nails near an open window. I also hate that it's not big 3 free.
 
I had to get rid of mine - crazy shrinkage and sometimes no streaks, other times streaks. I don't have time for that so I recently began using the Poshe dry fast top coat.
 
I love love love this stuff!!! I use Orly Bonder as my base coat, and my mani lasts for at least a week! Still shiny and beautiful! I will always use SV it it my HG!

i switch to OPI's top coat for mid week & hvnt had any lifting issues since!
 
I love how SV makes my nail polish dry to the touch in an extremely short period of time, but I find that I still get nicks if bump into stuff. I've also noticed my polish chips at the tips of my fingers, and every day I have to repaint a nail or two. But I'm super anal about having my nails perfectly polished.
 
I have pink and white gel done professionally, then I put nail art on top of that myself. I always use Orly rubberizing bonder to start, and I always finish with Seche Vite topcoat. After I'm finished, no matter what I do, the art always stays on until I decide to take it off. Love the stuff.
 
i love mine!! i dont use a base coat though. i put some on today over my new polish and no peeling.. i guess i will let you know tom. i have only used mine 7 or 8 times :) I only had it a few months :)
 
I loved this top coat but 1 1/2 months later the top coat has gotten really hard to put on really sticky and hard to use. My nail polish also chips must faster now :sad:
 
This product is definitely HG for me. I have been using it for years. No other top coat gives me shiny, dent/smudge-free nails as SV tc. And I get a full week's mani out of it. Sometimes, I do have occasions where an edge of my polish will lift up slightly on day 5-6, but rarely does the polish come off at that point, or chip.
