Love you, Love you not #1

This is going to be the first in a little series about the products in my collection which I find myself reaching for alot and then being torn between my feelings of love and hate for. I thought I would put down in words the pro's and con's of these products and with a little help from you guys come up with a verdict on whether certain products are really worth ignoring the con's for.
Soooo this week's item in the dock is....


Seche vite-Fast drying top coat

Pro's

  • SUPER quick drying time 
  • High gloss finish

Con's 

  • Strong headache inducing chemical scent 
  • Warning on the back of the product that states that Seche Vite contains a chemical that may cause birth defects!
  • Product becomes thick and gloopy after a few months making it necessary to purchase a bottle of thinner (really?come on!)
  • After a couple of days wear nail polish peels off in huge chunks.



Verdict
While writing up my list of pro's and con's on Seche Vite, I came up with the cons so quickly, and aside from the drying time (around 2 minutes!) found it difficult to think of any other positives. 
For an impatient soul like myself minimal drying time is massively important as without it I get bored, fidget, smudge then either find myself starting over or removing the lot and not bothering at all, this is why I have chosen for so long to ignore the negatives and persevere with "The world's finest top coat". So the jury's out until I can find a really fast drying top coat that doesn't make me anxious about putting my hands near my mouth every time I wear it (seriously what is in this stuff??).
