China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat

As promised here is my review of China Glaze fast forward top coat. I bought this because I love China glaze nail polish. I am afraid to say I was a little disappointed. The shine was not as glossy as I like and the staying power was a let down. I had fading on the tips within a day or two. However I did like how fast it dried and the smell was not to awful. However I will not be repurchasing this top coat either.

Seche Vite Top Coat review

After hear all kinds of great things about this top coat and finding it on sale at my local Sally's Beauty Supply I decided to give it a try. After using an entire bottle I have at best mixed feeling about this product. So first I am going to say what I loved about it. The shine is outstanding and the dry time is super fast. Now what I don"t like about it.First is the fact that it shrinks you can prevent this on the tips of your nails by "capping" your nails. However i did not find a way to prevent shrinkage from the area closest to the cuticle or on the sides of the nail. This was most noticeable when I did detailed nail art. Second is the very strong chemical smell. Third is due to the fact that it has a warning label that says "Warning this product contains an ingredient know to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm." I do not feel comfortable using this on my daughter so I went out and bought China Glaze Fast Forward topcoat for use on her.( Review coming up.) I cannot say how the longevity of this top coat is because of the shrinkage it never lasted very long before i was removing it. So after weighting the pros and cons there is no way I will repurchase this. I guess my quest for top coat continues.
