http://www.xovain.com/nails/is-seche-vite-safe"We found that the average amount of toluene per exposure period was approximately 0.6 milligrams; California's limit is 13 milligrams. There is a considerable margin of safety [in avoiding overexposure]," asserts Gettings. He emphasizes that the toluene issue is not one of safety, but of regulations. "The 13 milligrams [amount] has a safety factor of 1,000 times built into it. Really, this is not a safety issue at all."

So does this mean if you use big 3 free (Butter) polishes, it won't work well?

They are polishes that don't contain dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde, and toluene. There are also 5 free polishes. Here is a list and more information about the chemicals. http://www.goddesshuntress.com/2012/03/30/the-list-3-free-and-5-free-nail-polishes/

What are the Big 3 toxic chemicals? The chemicals they're talking about are Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde and Toluene. Seche Vite is not "Big 3-Free". It is free of formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate (DBP), but does contain toluene, a common solvent. It seems that some solvents and plasticizers used in Big 3-Free products are not compatible with the ingredients in / formulation of Seche Vite (Butter London brand in particular). Seche Vite was the first patented single procedure non-yellowing dry fast top coat for nail polish that dried and protected the underlying nail polish much faster and created a more durable shield than anything else on the market and even to this day. Here's the deal. This product is unique. It is meant to penetrate the layers underneath it, drying them all at once. In fact, the product bonds with the base and color layers, creating one strong coating. Hence its durable nature. Additionally, this top coat self-levels. This means ridges, small polishing gaffes, and shaky application is remedied by the product itself, as it creeps across the surface of the nail and settles evenly, every time. I paint my own nails and have for years. This is the hands-down-best-top-coat-EVER!!! I will honestly never buy anything else again (I do use the base coat as well). Hope this helps!!

No:I'd have to say must have seche vite top coat. No:2 rimmel base coat top coat. It glues the color to your nail. Seche vite bace coat your nail will pop off. Rimmel color goes well with seche vvive top coat. Last is tied with opal color polish and $1.99 color polish spoiled nail color. This has lots of bright colors for wiinter and bright summer colores. But you have to have sech vite top fast top nail coat . Dries so fast. I mean fast. Wezzy

It polishes copper very well. It is the best and fastest polish I have ever used. It also adds protection from tarnish.

The BU 03515 is a polish and will only bring up the luster. The wax seals and protects the metal from staining. Same principles as car wax and polishes.

I would call Meguiars at 1-800-347-5700 to make sure. I would think it would work well as it polishes fast for such a fine polish. A big plus is you don't have to break abrasives in the polish down and can stop at any time if you feel you have done enough and the finish will look essentially the same. Finishes very well.

I use a base coat, 2 coats of polish and 2 coats of the CND Vinylux and no chipping for at least a week. It's the best top coat I've ever used.

I don't know, but it sounds like it is. Does anyone know how to use the polish remover? Since I didn't have the proper applicator pad I have to try and lift up the polish and reapply. Hoping for better results!!

I believe they used to label this as a three step process with each different product marked with a number. The Ultimate Compound is designed to remove dirt/grime and paint blemishes and the polish provides the protection layer and then a wax over gives the lasting finish. I have used the three step process for years and love the results. It is a long process but the finish holds very well.

That is correct; the way I use it is: 1 layer base coat 2 layers any color (same brand)1 layer after polish and let it dry. Remove once a week and you will see a dramatic difference

The top coat works as well with other brands of polish. I used it with Sally Hansen salon all in one. CND polish did not wear well. I used Scrub fresh 1st. None lasts 7 days. I also have the entire shellac system- wears better, but terrible to remove. Vinyl lux is easy to remove.

You can use any polish but some work better than others. The thicker the better.

There is no indication of what I'm to be reviewing. Can you enlighten me? "big one or small one" what???

Cleaner, base coat, top coat and purifier. Small bottles but they go a long way. No polish included. in addition, I think Gelish or OPI brands of polish last the longest.

It is not the cheap polish that takes forever to dry. It is wonderful quality. I got no two of the same color there was a HUGE variety I love it I have more trouble deciding what color to paint my nails than anything else it is a great buy! I recommend it 100%

As far as I know you have to buy their remover. Look up "Bona Polish Remover" on Amazon.

I have never tried anything other than this one. My girlfriend told me about it years ago, and I have been using it since. I never tried anything else because i never needed to. This base does what it is supposed to. I have natural nails, no acrylics. I change my polish about once a week, and not because I have to, because I want to. I have been using stickey as a base and Seche as a top for years and it is fantastic! I would recommend to anyone. Best combo out there.

My niece is a manicurist and works mostly with the cnd brand but told me uv/ led brands are interchangeable. I used cnd base and top coat with gelish Polish a week ago and my nails still look perfect!
