Really good top coat? (nail related, not jackets lol)

I need a really good top coat to leave in my kit at the nail salon. Any good recs? Also, does the base make a difference in the manicure lasting? If so, I'll take recs for both! Chat Icon


I need my $7 manicure to last 7 days Chat Icon Chat Icon

Seche vite is my favorite, it dries my nails in a flash and seals everything in with a great shine.

I swear by the Opi base coat and the Opi Top Coat! I do my own nails (or on the rare occassion when I go to the salon, I bring them with me) and it lasts for about a week, if not longer.

I agree. I am gradually changing over to all OPI at home. It is the only thing that lasts for me.

Ahh don't be!! Chat Icon Chat Icon I'm just on top of it lately because I hope to become pregnant soon and would rather not use polish with formaldehyde at that point .. and also because I get my nails done every week. If it was just once in a while and pregnancy wasn't an issue, I probably wouldn't even care!

I just got the Milani Glosse Top Coat and it is quick dry and so far so good!
I also like the "Out the door" one, I'm not sure of the exact brand.
