It dries pretty fast for me, though I am not sure how it works on glitter polishes, as I don't wear them. No complaints thus far, though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098985719924667868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-26916670623406248572013-07-15T21:13:37.870-07:002013-07-15T21:13:37.870-07:00Oh, good to know, thanks!

Sigh.<br /><br />I had tons of shrinkage with SV, and I've found lots of others that dry as fast, for me. But I'd still buy SV before I spent $20 on BL. It's not my favorite - but it was my first quick dry topcoat, and that's kind of a life changer. That sounds over dramatic, but I probably wouldn't have so much nail polish if I still had to wait 45 minutes for it to dry. Come to think of it, maybe that's not a good thing . . .

I've yet to find anything else that dries anywhere near as quick. If I have a really gritty glitter that eats topcoat, I'll usually throw on a coat of Revlon no-chip topcoat then a coat of SV. If I use Seche top and base and wrap my tips, I have no problems with shrinking. When it starts to get goopy, I just add a little nail polish remover, rather than buying thinner. Makes it look a little cloudy in the bottle, but it applies and dries completely clear. I usually get mine online here http://beautyjoint.com/ Because all the stores near me that sell it charge $10+, so I'll buy 5 or so bottles at a time online.stream27https://www.blogger.com/profile/07685084709532196324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-70412370288258136842013-07-15T18:41:54.366-07:002013-07-15T18:41:54.366-07:00I'd say the BL got thick when it had 1/4 to 1/...I'd say the BL got thick when it had 1/4 to 1/3 left. I thinned it with the Seche Vite thinner and that kept it going for a while. Even when it was thick, though, it leveled really well, so I could pretty much keep using it until I was having too much trouble reaching what was left at the bottom of the bottle. <br /><br />I liked the Poshe stuff too, but I liked the Sally Hansen a little better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075243940219740263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-80490260600416381192013-07-15T16:30:53.866-07:002013-07-15T16:30:53.866-07:00I've been using Poshe topcoat and it's pre...I've been using Poshe topcoat and it's pretty fucking rad! It's nice and shiny, and while it bubbles on occasion, it doesn't shrink my polish like Seche Vite did. I haven't had any issues with transferring. The only downside was that it did get goopy about halfway through, but I added some Poshe Polish Reviver and that got it back to it's original consistancy. <br /><br />$19 for a topcoat is crazy!!! The only way I could see myself paying more that $10 would be if it had a really awesome application and didn't go thick.srizzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531184008408181338noreply@blogger.com
