I recently purchased a bottle of INM Out the Door since I had heard so many good things about it. Sam from Fashion polish said this is the top coat she uses for her manis, and I saw a review on a blog I don't remember which one, about it, so I was convinced and had to try it.
Well you all know I'm a Seche Vite girl, but I thought to myself if I can find a topcoat, just as good as Seche but without the shrinking, it would be so so nice.
I am going to give them grades on shine, shrinking, and drying time, because for me these are the criteria that count.
1. On the shine I would have to say that the clear winner is Seche Vite, because it is definetly shinnier than INM. I had troubles with INM it left real ugly treaks on my nail polish - looky here on my China Glaze - Under the boardwalk what it did:

I find that very visible, and ugly, I know that a normal person can not see it, but to me it is so obvious. This is just like the Cult nails topcoat.
2. Onto the Shrinking, I have had some problems with Seche Vite, and it is really an issue, and the only issue I have with Seche, but I have found some ways to get less shrinkage, and control it in some mesure, but with some brands it just does that - I'm looking at you Zoya!
I had heard that with INM there was no shrinking, well I still had some, less than with Seche, but still there, and still noticeble to me a polish freak.
3. And for the last criteria, drying time - I found that Seche Vite was a winner too, because although the difference is not enormeous, there is a difference.
The grades are below and as you can see, for me Seche is a clear winner, and I surely waisted my money on INM, because I so hate the streaks I will never use it, just like with my Cult nails topcoat.
