P10P Review: Color Club 0-60 Speedy Top Coat and Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat

I felt like nail polish top coats didn't really deserve a full post on their own, so since I finished these 2 during P10P, I thought I would post about them together. Both of these are fast drying clear top coats.

Color Club 0-60 Speedy Top Coat

I originally got this on Amazon, but it has gotten a lot more expensive and harder to find, so that's something to consider. I got it because it is supposed to be very fast drying, but toulene free, which is better for you. I liked this, but it didn't give as glossy a shine and took longer to dry as compared to the Seche Vite, but was still faster than a standard top coat. I would say it takes about 10-15 minutes before I was comfortable that it was dry to touch, and maybe about 30 minutes before I was comfortable with it being completely dry. I do tend to estimate upwards as I am a paranoid nail painter, but overall I quite liked this. However, I would not repurchase unless I decided to go toulene free, or something.

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

A very well known product in beauty circles as it dries quickly and has a very glossy finish. I like this a lot, even though there is toulene in it. I just make sure that I paint my nails in an aerated area and I try not to breathe in as much of the fumes as possible. I feel like this is dry to touch in 3-8 minutes, and completely dry in about 25-30 minutes. It's not a lot less than the Color Club one, but I feel like it does make a lot of difference (especially when you're like me and have trouble sitting still). It is quite a thick polish, which means it glides on quite nicely, and if you do nail art, it's less likely to smudge. I have repurchased this, and probably will continue to do so.

So there is my P10P review, I thought that a comparison would help. I'm sorry that I don't have swatches of these or pictures of how they work, but I hope this was useful. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below, or if you have any recommendations for me.

Project 10 pan/ empties update!

 So, it's been about 3 months since I started Project 10 pan and I finished 4 items (one of which was actually on my list!). I actually photographed this a while ago and haven't gotten around to posting yet, so the update at the end has progressed a lot since, but more on that later.

I will be doing full reviews of these products over the coming weeks, so follow my blog if you're interested in seeing those!

17 Hide Away Concealer Cream in Medium

I admit, this finished a lot faster than I thought it would so I guess there was less in the tube than I thought! I also admit to using this rather excessively to finish it up. I liked this when I first got it, but after a while I realised it was the wrong undertone for my skin as it is very pink based. I would not repurchase.

Color Club 0-60 Speedy Top Coat

I had about half a bottle left of this and I painted my nails incessantly since starting Project 10 pan. If you're interested in what polishes I've been wearing, I did a post on my Favourite Autumn/Winter Nail Polishes.  I guess focusing on a single top coat does help it go faster! I did like this, but I found it wasn't really as fast drying as my Seche Vite, so I probably won't repurchase.

Skin Food Nail Vita Base Coat
Nothing else made me as sad to finish as this. I originally got this... 3 years ago as a birthday present from my sister. This is a Korean brand so it's not readily available in the UK so I probably would not be able to repurchase.

Colab Dry Shampoo New York

I admit to getting this because it is Ruth Crilly's product but I enjoyed using it. New York is a very fresh fruity scent, which I love. It's a very light spray and I might repurchase this once I finish my other dry shampoos, but I'm not sure yet.

 A quick update, like I mentioned before, I have made a lot more progress than shown in this picture. The Barry M powder has a bit more pan, the 17 pwoarr paint has a lot more pan and the MUA shadow has a lot of pan. I've also hit pan on my Soap and Glory Glow All Out powder and I've made good progress on some other stuff. Overall, I'm quite excited about my first "prize" which I hope to be sharing with you all soon!

Like I mentioned earlier, a full review of each of the products I've finished will be up in the weeks to come, so watch out for that.
