Hi everyone,
Finally the long promised test of the Topcoats. I'm wearing:
- Nail Tek - Step one (cleans, primes and reinforces nails),
- Nail Tek - Foundation II (intensive therapy),
- Nail Tek - Foundation II (ridge-filling base coat with strengthener),
- Rimmel London, Lycra Pro Professional finish in 440 Orange Bliss this is a polish that's supposed to last up to 10 days according to the bottle (3 coats)
- Seche Vite - TopCoat on the left hand
- OPI - Fast Drying Topcoat on the right hand
Left Hand with Seche Vite: 
Right Hand with OPI: 
I'll keep you updated here on how this polish lasts and which hand stays pretty longer. (with pictures)
Update:
Hi everyone,
I showed you my nails after the application on Tuesday, today it's Thursday night and after two days of wear and today's shower my nails suddenly look like this:
Seche Vite Dry Fast Topcoat: 
OPI RapiDry TopCoat: 
Quite a difference right? The OPI is pretty perfect still (only a mini chip on the index finger), and the Seche Vite one is ruined. This nailpolish is supposed to stay on for 10 days, and this polish lasted 2 days on the Seche Vite hand. So for all of you wondering which one is better? Well, the Seche Vite dried quicker, butttt the OPI chipped less. So my favourite remains the OPI, and you can now see why.

I love the orange color. I have that on my toes now by OPI.
1I love this color
2That is a HUGE difference! Your posts are always so detailed and informative and you get down to what we all want to know, how long does it really last! Thank you cc
3You're very very welcome.
4It is really surprising to see how much the top coat you use affects the staying power of nail polish.
5Whoa, that's *quite* the difference! I'm in the market for some new nail stuff for fall, so I will definitely check out the OPI top coat.
6CCee - love, love the orange and your product tests are the best. Really, pics and details. Amazing! Thanks for all you do for me, you also save me $.
7I like this color better on you than the light pink.
8Love the before and after pix! Gonna highlight this post on Bella's main page!

10I usually do two top coats.
