On some reviews, it says that it chips after 2/3 days, do you find that it lasts longer?
I use Essie gel couture top coat, it lasts a week max.

I can only speak for myself. I think it works great...no chipping. But pictires speak louder then words.
Getting a manicure tomorrow and this is my nail after 3 weeks. Looks good except for the grow-out.
Gives the illusion of gel nails and dries quickly.

what about base coat? is it necessary? I only use darker colors on my toes. on my hands I wear either nail brightener or a light, natural-looking color. so it's not like when you put a red polish on your fingernails and it can chip fast. in any case, that protection from chips is more done by top coat, right?

I use a base coat & I wear mostly red & dark colors. I go over the tips of my nail with color during the week
& touch up with a top coat as needed.
I don't find I get chipped nails I find tip wear which interestingly enough I can only see...

I really like Seiche Vite base and top coat and take it to all of my nail appointments. I hear that OPI base and top are really good. Is OPI better than Seiche Vite? Thanks for the opinions.
