Top Coat

I love OPI, but this top coat is terrible. First and foremost, it is the consistency of water. Its terrible on regulat, solid nail polish. However, if you do nail art of any kind, do NOT use this top coat. It doesn't cover the way it should.

I don't seem to have the issues with this top coat that other reviewers have mentioned; I like it a lot. I usually wait about 5 minutes for my color to dry and then apply 2-3 coats of it (letting it dry a couple of minutes between each coat). It's dry after about 10 minutes, but I am careful with my nails for at least an hour after. If I need to speed it up I apply a quick dry top …Read more

I bought this at a local discount store; hence the five stars for price. If I purchased it at the regular price, I would give it two stars. This takes a LONG time to dry so I have to devote at least an hour, after doing my manicure, to doing nothing (or very little). Despite the dry time, I give this top coat five stars because when used with the base coat, my manicure lasts an average of five …Read more

this is a top coat designed for ladies of leisure. Have a full day sitting around doing nothing while paint drys? do you have the bladder of steel that allows you to only use the bathroom once a day? have an army of servants who you can blink at and they will do everything so that you can avoid touching anything while this stuff drys? then this is the top coat for you.

I disregarded the reviews and bought it because I absolutely love OPI polishes especially the brush they come with. But I have to say it, this product IS TERRIBLE! I rarely write negative reviews, but this one gets an exception. It never fully sets, so it smudges and I wake up with sheet marks. I have given this topcoat 5 different tries, thinking it must've been user error. The last time I …Read more

Believe the bad reviews---they're all true. To be honest, I didn't. I thought people were just not understanding that this top coat is not fast dry, so they were putting it on wet nails and it naturally wasn't working. Wrong.

I polished my nails yesterday (2 coats) and let them dry for an hour. They were thoroughly dry; I could tap one nail sharply with another and …Read more

I love OPI, but this is not a good topcoat. It has a nice formula and applies easily but my main complaint is that it takes absolutely ages to dry on me - and I'm talking hours and hours. I have used it with many brands of polish including OPI's own range, Essie, Rimmel, SinfulColors and Essence and no matter which polish or which base coat I pair it with - this top coat is incapable of …Read more

I'm glad that I only have a mini of this. It's been assigned to toenail use only. It does dry shiny- not as great as Seche or HK Girl, but decent. However, the shine doesn't last as long as other top coats I have. I can often get away with an entire week of shine if I don't change it before then. OPI only lasts for a couple days before it looks dull.

It also …Read more

Love OPI top coat for its long lasting durability. My nails are thin and bendy or very flexible. This top coat works well for my nails since the topcoat bends with the nail and doesn't crack. Many quick dry top coats I have tried don't bend with the nail and I end up with cracks and splits / chips in the nail polish within a day or two of my manicure regardless of the basecoat used or …Read more

This is hitting the trash bin! I love OPI so when I hit a sale on board the cruise ship, I bought this to try it out.

My standard is the flat red bottle of clear Sally Hansen Anti Chip Insta Dry Topcoat. That stuff is a miracle in a bottle. You slide it on, and your mani dries up and hardens to a glossy shine, it smooths out any little imperfections and you are good to …Read more
