Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri top coat is great when it's new but unfortunately it thickened after using up half of it. Now when I apply it, I keep having to dip back in to get more thickened product,...

After like 15 years of doing my nails this is the only top coat I'll wear/buy. It's the best. Best value, best application, best lasting (in the bottle and on the nail)... Nothing even comes close.

I love this stuff! I’m on my second bottle and will definitely continue to repurchase. I use this as my top coat when I first do my nails so they can dry fast. This dries to the touch quite...

I've been using this on my toenails for about 6 or 7 years. It's slightly thick, but dries quickly and very glossy. It smooths any imperfections in the polish. I usually do two coats of it. The...

This is such a great product! A change in my finances forced me to reevaluate and switch to painting my own nails rather than get my beloved gel nails at the salon. :( It has been years since I've...

This is a very good fast drying top coat that adds a ton of shine to your manicure. However, it doesn't work magic in preventing chipping, I find that chip prone nail polish will still chip like...

I like this one way better than Seche Vite. It doesn't shrink my nail polish at all! It also cures nail polish way faster than Seche Vite ever did. It doesn't prolong the life of my manicure (a...

Surprised this was so highly rated. I waited a minute after applying and lightly touched to see if it actually worked and it left my finger print embedded into the color. So it definitely was not...

Insta-Dri was one of my first quick-dry top coats back in the day, but I stopped using it several years ago because it lifted color (there's a reason it's in a red bottle), it often peeled and, as...

Three lippies because it does the job and dries instantly. However this top coat peels and any claim of no chip shine for 10 days is completely false. It takes me one to two days after painting...

Absolute A+! I've started doing my nails at home to save time and money, but I my polish took so long to dry that it always had a smudge or two and just didn't look professional. If I did my nails...
