Does it get thick half way through the bottle like seche vite?

You can buy nail polish thinner to add to it when the nail polish gets thick. Seche sells its own but there are others too

Is this better than the original? I stopped using the original one because it constantly pulls my polish away from the frwe edge.

It IS better than the original in that it allows for chrome powders and is basically used the same as Seche Vite. My favorite topcoat by far. As far as it pulling your polish away from the edge, well I could recommend a couple things: 1st, make sure you don't get any polish or topcoat on the cuticle. You need a solid seal on the edges of your polish. They WILL life MUCH quicker if you get on your skin. 2nd, if this stuff dries too quickly, or IF you use a fast drying spray (or drops) I have found that it kind of shrinks up but then usually it relaxes. Let me know if you have anymore questions, I went to nail school and am willing to share any info needed. Hope this helps :)

How to do take this off? Like gel or like regular polish?

Even though it's as tough as gel coat, it removes quickly and easily with regular nail polish remover.

Is this a gel top coat that needs a light?

No Light needed! It is the best top coat- It makes your regular nail polish last so much longer.

Hands down BEST top coat sold

I highly recommend this product! It is the absolute BEST top coat sold, I also use the base coat when applying regular nail polish. It dries FAST and stays SUPER glossy like gel AND your manicure will last DAYS longer without chipping! I have used this product for quite some time, and as a previous nail tech I have yet to find anything as chip resistant, durable, and shiny as this product. BONUS: I'm a mom of a toddler girl who loves getting her toes painted but has NO patience for dry time. This is the only product I use on her little toes as well :)

Actually the best top coat ever

I love this topcoat. I picked up a bottle at another store once, and realized it was the greatest nail polish ever made. It dries fast, is super glossy and self leveling. Like liquid glass. It dries all the nail polish layers (not just the top one leaving the middle a liquid mush) so you're ready to go, no smudging worries. I included photos because the bottle was banged up even with the boxes it came in.

Really like this stuff

Really like this stuff. The shine looks great. Making sure it lays on right can be tricky but it gets easier after a couple of applications. Durable and chip resistant.

Good as vite

Love seche vite- this topcoat is basically the same, I don’t think it comes our any glossier but works just as well. Nails dry in minutes, if you use desert nail spray too it helps.

THe absolute BEST clear coat!

Why did it take so long to realize this existed? Thanks to the lady at the beauty supply, and now found here. I am addicted to this clear coat! I put 2-3 layers on my toes over a pedicure and it looks like I have gels on my toes! You know how your manicure starts to look dull and bleh? This topper livens up the nails, and looks like gel! I even put this over my gel after a week to give my nails that glossed look. ➡️The ONLY issue: no matter what, this will peel right off in a perfect peel after maybe a week. It starts to feather and lift and eventually peel. I guess, because this is practically a shellac, but I am obsessed 😍
