Seche Vite

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat is the air-dry top coat salons buy by the case: applied over wet lacquer, it pulls the color down, levels the surface and dries to a hard, glassy finish in minutes. C8 Nail Supply stocks it in the 0.5oz retail bottle and in the two salon refill kits professionals actually use, the 4oz kit with one 0.5oz bottle and the 16oz kit with four 0.5oz bottles, so the working bottle stays fresh while the refill covers the month. Seche Vive Instant Gel Effect Top Coat delivers a thicker, gel-look dome without a lamp and comes in the same 0.5oz, 4oz and 16oz kit formats. Underneath, choose Seche Crystal Clear Base Coat, Seche Clear PRO Base Coat in the 16oz refill kit, or Seche Ridge Filling Base Coat for uneven nail plates. Seche Vite Restore 2oz thins a thickened bottle back to its original consistency instead of throwing it away.

Seche Vite is made for regular polish, so pair it with nail lacquer from OPI and the DND lacquer side of each matching duo. For lamp-cured sets, see our gel top coat range and UV LED nail lamps.

Frequently Asked Questions — Seche Vite

Why does Seche Vite get thick, and how do you fix it?

Every time the bottle is opened, some solvent evaporates and the remaining product thickens. Seche Vite Restore is the brand's own thinner; a few drops return the top coat to its original flow. Do not use acetone or polish remover, which breaks down the formula.

Does Seche Vite shrink nail polish?

Shrinking at the tips happens when the top coat is applied over polish that has already started to dry. Seche Vite is designed to go on while the color is still wet, and capping the free edge with both color and top coat keeps the edge from pulling back.

What is the difference between Seche Vite and Seche Vive?

Seche Vite is the original fast-dry high-gloss top coat. Seche Vive is a thicker, plumping formula that mimics the domed look of a gel manicure over regular lacquer, still with no lamp required.
