Poshe Top Coat & Family

I've been bouncing around with different base and top coats, and now I will be trying another line of products by AII - Poshe!  I know a lot of you have seen or heard of it before, and some even swear by it.  I'll be testing it out for about a month and let you know the results!  Please enjoy the following press release from AII!

  1. For me, Poshe ranks right up there with Seche Vite... on my hate list. They both cause mad shrinkage on me, no matter which polish I use them over. And they both have the problem of getting super thick halfway through the bottle.

    Hopefully you'll have better luck than I did!

    1. Gaaaa I hope that's not the experience for me! I keep a bottle of Seche Restore for my Seche Vite... I wonder if Poshe is the same for me as well. As for shrinkage - I finally had some shrinkage I think it was with a Color Club polish and Seche Vite. First time for everything!

    2. I just got a Poshe a couple weeks ago, hoping to avoid the dreaded Seche Vite shrinkage. So I guess we'll see how it goes. I'm glad you posted this tho, I didn't know they had other products too. It was really difficult for me to find the top coat while on vacation and I know no one in my hometown carries it.

    3. Blarg! To be honest, I didn't know they had other products either! I'm really excited about the cuticle stuff. I don't take care of mine at all and really need to get into the habit!

  2. I have used Poshe Topcoat and Basecoat. Haven't ever had shrinkage problems. The basecoat was okay but I never noticed it help the dry time, and since I switched from it I even find some polishes apply better. I think the Poshe was too slippery, if that makes sense.
    Love the topcoat, though. It works, and it holds up pretty well (again, my wear has also been better since I stopped using the fast-drying base coat). It dries polishes fast, though you could still scratch or dent them if you're rough on your nails in the first hour. It prevents sheet prints at night! Like I said never had shrinkage issues... but I have had it smudge nail art. It will start to thicken halfway through the bottle and requires A LOT of tweaking with polish thinner to keep it usable, but here's the thing: When it is thick put it over your gritty glitter polishes - completely smooths the texture out and still dries hard and fast. =)

    Of course every person's experience, chemistry, needs and preferences are different. Can't wait to see what you come up with after a month of use!

    Whew, huge comment! Anyway, I'm a new blog follower, so hi there! =D

      Also I always giggle at sheet marks because EVERYONE knows what you're talking about. I giggle because I actually don't sleep with a sheet - just a comforter.

  3. While I was preggo I have to hold off on the SV (due to toulene) so Poshe became my go to fast dry TC. I'm love it, it's almost on par with SV.
