Fast drying topcoats!

Good evening all!

So, I thought tonight I would do a post about what topcoats I've used/like/would recommend. I'm only going to be talking about 3 of the better topcoats that I own and use. People that know me will already know that my favourite topcoat is the Nails Inc Kensington Caviar 45 second drying top coat. It leaves the nails with a wet look finish which I really like. Sometimes with topcoats when they say they're 'fast drying', they never are so when I used this one for the first time I was very unsure about if I would like it or if it was going to to what it said. Thankfully (for me lol), it did work and now it's one of the only topcoats that I will use! You don't need too much of it to make it work/dry. If you do use too much it will go quite gloopy and won't dry within the 45 seconds.

The next topcoat that I'm going to talk about is the Seche Vite dry fast topcoat. This is also another one that will/does dry reasonably quickly. The thing that I don't like with this one is the consistency. Unlike the Nails Inc one, it's quite runny (for me). Where it's quite thin when it's applied, it's not that shiny and I feel like I need to keep applying more and more, which just makes all the polish peel off in one.

The last one that I'm going to talk about isn't really a polish but it counts for it's fast drying properties. It is Leighton Denny miracle drops. It's really good for making nails dry quickly (obviously lol) and does leave a shine. With miracle drops, all you have to do is squeeze the pipette into the liquid to draw it out, and simply place it over the cuticle so the liquid falls down over the nail. It works really well for fast drying and shininess. The only down side for me is that it can leave quite a lot of oily residue around the finger tip area.
