Out the Door Top Coat Review & Photos

Rating: 9/10

Sold: Sally’s Beauty

Price: $5.49

Description: “America’s #1 super fast drying top coat! Long wearing, high gloss finish will not yellow. Use alone or over any polish to accelerate the drying time.”

Review:

Pros

  • Dries in under a minute to the touch
  • No strong odor
  • Protects the regular nails
  • Doesn’t cause shrinkage (as Seche Vite did)
  • Doesn’t become as thick and goopy as Seche Vite

Cons

  • Seems to dull after a day or so
  • Seems to take an hour or so to completely dry and not smudge/dent when pressed on
  • Doesn’t give as “hard” as a feeling as Seche Vite
