    Good topcoat but not the best

    This is a nice topcoat that makes your manicure last a few days, however you have to reapply every 2 days to keep your nail shiny and protected, other than that it’s a Ok topcoat. Wouldn’t buy it again since I discovered Seche Vite topcoat.

    A great top coat

    This top coat is great! I would say it’s comparable to seche vite but a little cheaper. It was on sale so I thought I would try it and I was not disappointed! It looks like a gel polish and dried very quickly. I’ve been wearing it for two days and it has not chipped aside for one small chip. Very impressed.

    This has been my go too top coat for a very long time. I find that it does dry not polishes that only seen 2-3 thin coast very quickly and does that a little longer on polishes that require a heavier application to get full coverage. About 2 minutes after application I can normally wash my hand and due little things but I do need to be careful about digging into bags and banging them against thing for about 15-30 minutes after application if I truly don't want any damage to me polish. The only downfall I found with this product it that it really starts to thicken after only using half that bottle and that is a little wasteful to me to have to buy another bottle when only half is gone.

    This is a great top coat, dries really really fast and I've gotten tons of compliments on how shiny my nails are. I wouldn't say it's anti-chip though

    This top coat is a god-send!! I don't know how I ever survived without a top coat. I was never fully intrigued by the idea of a top coat --adding another layer of polish, takes more time, more $$ to spend, but boy was I ever wrong. A good top coat is a worthy investment for all you nailpolish addicts. I'm a self-confessed perfectionist so if there is ever a small dent or any visible flaw in my nail polish application I will remove and re-do. Nail polish application with no top coat usually means smudging, pre-mature chipping through everyday wear and waiting for hours on end for it to dry.

    I first tried sally hansen's mega shine topcoat, and though it dried quickly and provided righteous shine, my one major gripe about that topcoat was that shortly after application over a color polish the topcoat would shrink and shrivel/wrinkle the color polish underneath (that's the best way I can explain it).

    I figured I'd try the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri topcoat and fell in love, it's everything I've ever wanted in a top coat. So granted it doesn't have as great a shine as the megashine topcoat, it drys fast, prevents pre-mature chipping, and to my excitement does. not. wrinkle.

    I am very happy with this product, it does everything is claims it's going to do. According to the website "After applying your favorite Sally Hansen Nail Color, wait two minutes, then apply one coat of Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat. Manicure will be dry to the touch in 30 seconds." And they're not lying, it really is dry to the touch in about 30 seconds. Plus it's super shiny and fairly durable. I apply another top coat about two days after my manicure and was very happy with the results.

    This is a great go to top coat. I've used it up and repurchased several times over and for the price point it's excellent. I took it with me when I went on vacation and was walking in the sand a lot, reapplied every other day to keep my manicure and pedicure from chipping and getting dull from walking on the beach. I still get the odd chip when wearing this one so it's not the best on the market, but the price is good and I find it dries really fast.
