No false advertising here; the product does as it says! I always do my nails at night and even if I wait two hours before going to bed, I would wake up with a smudged manicure, but not with DripDry.
It is hideously expensive (18.50 euros), but worth it since I don't have to redo my nails every two days.

i got this w. espresso ur style. it came in a package together at ulta. total was about 12-after tax, so after deducting the polish 7.50 i paid about 4.50 for it. i dont know how much it usually retails for. supposedly it 'was a good deal' cuz they came together-whatever. i didtn know how to apply cuz there was no instructions on the plastic box and there was no dropper or brush. i tried using a brush- totally smeared my polish. i tried to 'drip'some on-got all over the place. so i just put my finger on bottle top and turn around quickly so i can get a little on my finger and then smear it on my nails. yeah it dries ok and doesnt stink, but they need to figure out a better way to apply this. its ridiculous. will not repurchase. ugh.

This is great! I recommend this over any of the quick dry sprays. I got mine at Trade Secret and got a free top coat with it. I will purchase again!

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this!! I love drip dry! It really does dry polish, even thick layers, quite quickly, and the oily formula seems to moisturize my cuticles a little too! I agree with others, the price is a tad high, and honestly, I went through my small bottle quite quickly. I love it MUCH more than all the quick dry topcoats I've used though, and with this I can use Creative Shiney, which is my favorite topcoat for long lasting and shiny manicures (but which usually drys soooooo slowly). I will definitely buy this again and again.

I love this, and go through a small bottle about once a week! You only need to use a little bit, but I love massaging it into my cuticles so I use a bit more than necessary. I do use this over a speed dry topcoat (Revlon) and my nails are pretty dry after 5 min, although I would not do anything too abusive for at least an hour anyways.

I feel like a major damper but this did nothing for me and at the price i paid, i am better off smearing cuticle oil onto the wet polished surface... And this evaporated on me as i stored it in a cool dry place but with the dripper instead of the regular cap... Partically money evaporated into thin air...*sad*

This is a great product for clutzes like me. I always smudge my polish, even if I let it dry for several hours before touching anything. Drip Dry takes care of that for me and I can get on with the other things I need to do in about 15-20 minutes. It dries much faster than that (enough to touch after about 5) but I feel better giving it a little extra time. The only drawback is that because it's a drop it doesn't always decide to drop onto my very tip (which means sometimes I still end up smudging everything). It can be a little messy (drippy drops over your fingernail tips). Also, be careful not to touch the tip of the dropper to your nail or you might smudge your polish. The benefit is that it's also a bit moisturizing. Do I recommend it? Heck yeah! And yes, I've purchesed it more than once. Until I find something better, this is my HG for making my nails pretty.

What a rip-off! There is nothing "fast" or "quick" about Drip Dry AT ALL. I normally use Seche Vite topcoat, but I ran out and had a bottle of Drip Dry that I hadn't tried yet, so I've been using the Drip Dry for the past 3 manicures. Well, this stuff sucks and does not dry my n/p any faster than if I hadn't used Drip Dry. Last night, I did my nails, finished with Drip Dry, and waited like 45 minutes before I went to bed. I *thought* my nails would certainly be dry by then! But I woke up this morning with sheet-marks on my nails because the polish wasn't dry when I went to bed! GRRRRR!!! This stuff is going in the trash when I get home. If it can't even dry my n/p in 45 minutes, what's the use??

The best thing invented for manicures and polishes. My absolute HG for DIY polishing. This is so good after using this product I have not had a single smudge, just drip this on to the nail wait 2 minutes minimum and then off you go! Time saver and allows the perfectionist me to continue polsihig my nails at home (= savng money -> more OPI polishes!). I actually don't use a topcoat anymore as it also leaves the nail shiny and you can massage the leftover liquid into your cuticles like a cuticle oil. Like other reviewers have said make sure you store it with the screw top cap not the dripper as it will evaporate.

I bought this as a promo deal. It was a mini bottle of the Drip Dry with a bottle of OPI nail color I had wanted. I've seen the good reviews about Drip Dry and had planned on trying it anyway. Soooo, glad I did! I'm ALWAYS smacking my nails into something after doing them, and this really helps to set the polish.

Wow. This is going to save me lots of money. I always used to smudge my nails, no longer how long I waited after doing my nails. This makes a difference! Now, I do my nails, drip this on and can actually DO stuff afterwards. *Taps beautifully manicured fingers together, Mr. Burns-style* Excellent!

I only use this when I do my own pedicures, and I am very happy with the results it gives. I have both OPI Drip Dry & Essie Quick-E Drying Drops. They both work equally well. I am not sure if this advertises that it adds shine, but it surely does for me. Perhaps I am getting old, but after applying a base coat and 2 coats of polish, I like being able to apply my last coat with a dropper :)

I love this stuff, it's the only product I have yet to love from OPI. It dries lacquer to the touch in 5 minutes. It truly does. You drip a couple little drops onto the nail and it evaporates and dries the polish. Works wonders, especially if you always mess up your polish like I do,

I'm not really a fan of this product. The Sally Hansen Insta-Dri is a much better product--and it costs less when you get more. The bottle for drip dry is known to leak and could waste product or worse yet, leak into other NPs and ruin them.

Dear OPI: Please package this wonder product with a brush. Thank you. XOXO, Ninersgirl.


I do love this stuff. It does dry my top coat in a wink. I still have to be a bit careful with my manicure until the under layers are completely cured, but I usually apply Chip Skip, Nail Envy, Natural Nail Base Coat, 2 coats of color, and Top Coat (all OPI) then a few drops of Drip Dry before bed. I fall asleep in the mummy position, and wake to a lovely finished manicure - usually with not a blemish.

I'm a serial nail polish smudger, so having this little wonder bottle of miracleness in my bag o'tricks has saved me numerous "Wahhh! I smudged!" moments.

As long as I have fingernails, I shall never be without Drip Dry!

I only recently discovered the magic of these drops when I purchased the OPI 'Love at First Sight' set, and wonder how I ever lived without them! Brilliant product which lives up to all its claims. Hard to understand why some people don't love it too?! I'll be repurchasing it for many years to come... or at least as long as I'm wearing nail polish!
