Seche Vite Philippines

Hi guys, I would like to introduce the newest nail polish trend abroad, which is now here in the Philippines, "Seche Vite"!. Seche vite is known as a very fast drying top coat, and one of the finest in the market. It also provides a very durable finish. Guaranteed not to make nails yellowish and leaving your nails silky, stronger and more resistant to chipping and peeling. They also have a wide variety of colors to choose from. You can now purchase seche vite at facebook Sechel Phil. You can follow their post at instagram @secheph for more nail art products. You can visit their new store in 168 mall 6th floor unit 625 located in Divisoria, Metro Manila. They are also selling other nail art stuffs like image plates, nail polishes, nail art decals, rhinestones, everything you need about nails and spa . For more info you can add them on
Facebook: Seche Phil Instagram: @secheph

Here are my personal opinions as a user of seche vite.
• Dries fast. • Leaves your nails with a smooth and shiny finish. • It covers your entire nail even the glitter polish. • doesn't smudge or smear nail art. • doesn't leave hair line. • covers your polish / nail art for a week.
All In all, I definitely recommend it to all nail art enthusiasts! Two thumbs up for seche vite! ❤
