Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat

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 quickly, I’d say in about five minutes, and it has a great shine to it (at least initially). I have not had shrinkage with this, so no issues there. A few cons to note:
-give your color a minute to dry …Read more

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 polish on my toes usually lasts at least a month. But, it very easily washes off my skin (I do a modified Brazilian-style polish application.) I'm impressed and would purchase again …

I love this top coat! It definitely dries quickly, my nails are dry and hard within minutes - perfect if you are someone who paints their nails at night but wants to avoid getting sheet marks on the polish. I like the consistency, it is slightly on the thinner side, but is easy to manipulate and isn’t too runny. It dries to a shiny finish. I don’t have any issues with shrinkage using this top …Read more

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 used regular nail polish on my hands, and it's easy to forget just how long it takes to get those puppies dry. So, I decided to seek out a quick dry top coat to speed up the process. I've …Read more

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 mad even with this top coat on. It probably does extend the wear of your manicure, which is good enough for me, as I usually change my nail polish within a week anyway. I find it to be very similar …Read more

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 but it gives an incredible gel looking shine.
I've tried to reapply it on the 5th day of my manicure to prevent starting tip wear. In 12 hours my nail polish came off in big chunks …Read more

Love this! I am very impatient when it comes to doing my nails...ADHD...so I usually only do my toes b/c I can't still long enough to let my fingernails dry. Or, I keep checking to see if they're dry, & they're always still tacky & I just keep getting light fingerprints in them...adding more top coat....trying to redo them again & again - until I get so frustrated that …Read more

I got this for $7.99. the product does dry very quickly, however, in less than 12 hours my nail polish was chipped. After having a shower the polish on my toe nails were chipped. I did dishes and the nail polish came mostly off. Not worth the buy. I've had nail polish that lasted longer alone than this did.

I have resigned myself to painting my nails every day as I have tried everything (orly bonder, seche vite, other top coats, wrapping the tips, wrapping the whole underside of the nail) and nothing will make my manicure stay chip free more than a day, particularly washing my hair and showering. So I just take off the chipped polish daily and finish my manicure with this top coat. I love it, it …Read more

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 an instant dry. Besides that my color chipped on several nails within a day : (
