Elaine,
I purchased the eco semi permanent polish sealer , my question is
I have been using it on gel clients who wear polish, and it doesn't
seem to " dry " in one min. it still has a tackiness to it.
I had been using sech vite uv dry for nat nails on these clients.
I purchased it to seal my eco soak off and it had the same effect on
me and when it does dry it doesn't seem to hold up well to the acetone
I use daily. Am I doing something wrong?

Kelley Marie,
I am not Elaine but maybe I can help! eco Polish Sealer will dry in
less than 1 minutes when used over eco So Quick gel. If you are using
it over polish, then it will take longer to dry. The polish
underneath has to dry as well. I should be the same dry time roughly
as your Seche.
Since eco Polish Sealer is a quick dry polish, no it will not hold up
well to acetone. Have you tried toping your own with eco Clear?
