I have owned this product for a year and have just purchased my second bottle.Dries to the touch within around a minute, but you'll still want to wait an hour before doing anything really tough on your hands otherwise it will dent. (Which is still better than a smudge in my opinion!) The effect is very glossy however after a few days the shine dulls. Nails feel very smooth and plastic to the touch. (I like how they feel).I really wouldn't be without this product, I've noticed it works especially well with Orly nail colour, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear colour and Maybelline Color Show. That's not to say it doesn't work with my other colours,but these combinations seem to be the most long lasting and chip free - usually get about 4 days out of a manicure and even then, I only change my polish because of tip wear, not because of actual chipping. (It is worth noting that I'm not particularly gentle on my hands either).The only product I have used that is more durable and glossy, is Seche Vite, however after reading about the health problems associated, I would much rather use this Sally Hansen formula as it does not have the Big 3 chemicals.Last but not least, don't expect to use the whole bottle. With about a third left to go, the polish became too sticky and was no longer very easy to use. This is to be expected with a fast drying product as the chemicals evaporate quickly, so I am not too bothered. I did notice when I used my newly purchased bottle that my nails last longer without chipping and feel a lot stronger, I suspect that after months of using my old polish some of the chemicals had evaporated making it less effective than a newly opened bottle. But at this price, I really don't mind getting a new bottle every six months.

This is good quality but it's not brilliant. It is a high quality top coat: dries very quickly and protects the polish for a good number of days, certainly longer than the previous top coat i used. It doesnt smudge!! ? ,and doesnt chip for a few days. It and the varnish beneath it comes off very cleanly. Other top coats have caused problems at removal: this one is easyHowever, it only keeps its shine for a couple of days, then looks dull. It chips after a few days too, at the tip of the mail so the manicure has to be redone. It can get expensive. It can get nicks in it so isnt diamnd hard.It is miles better than other topcoats, in its fast dryingness and protecting the polish for 2-4/5 days,depending on how careful you are.BUT.. half way down rhe bottle, it becomes gloopy, goes on the nail gloopy and is difficult to use. Lots of good manicures ruined by the gloop. This is unnecessary.The level of wastage in nail polish products is absurd: they all go gloopy and unusable approx half way down the bottle and this one is no exception to that. It's just pure greed on the part of the manufacturers. Infuriating.

I’ve only just recently gotten into doing my nails, so this was just an off the cuff purchase for a recent hobby. A cheap price, so I wasn’t expecting miracles.HOWEVER, this product has completely surprised me. Even if you get a thick layer of this on your nail, it will STILL dry within 2-3 mins and create a thin, unsmudgable layer. After about 10 minutes, it is completely unmoveable.I haven’t tested it for long enough to see how it’s longevity is, but after about 3 days, it’s holding up well with very minor chips on the odd nail.At first I was disheartened by reviews saying that it completely peels off, but I haven’t found that to be the case. Either I got lucky, with a great bottle, or,people aren’t using this correctly.Wait until 2 minutes, before applying to your wet nails & put on a thin layer, covering the entire nail - don’t forget to seal the tip! Don’t move your hands for about 2-3 minutes, so that the polish can dry. Within about 10 minutes, they should be fully solidified. Definitely fantastic quality for the value!

I am traditional, I like nail polish on my fingers instead of gel. I feel like the nail has more room to breathe, and its better than constantly exposing your nails to UV light. Therefore the whole rigmarole of polishing then waiting to dry is a massive bugbear. I admit, I usually use O.P.I drying drops, and don't get me wrong, they are great, but they don't do what this does. I bought it on a whim on a prime day deal, and I used it last night. OMG! Its almost like having gels on! Its REALLY tough wearing, I am a writer, and my nails get a lot of grief on keyboards, I am also a single mum so believe me its already been through hell and my nails are immmaculate. shiny, no chips, no dents,no creases, no accidental finger prints in the laquer nothing. Admittedly it took about 3 minutes to set instead of the stated one minute, but considering I am usually sat there for 2 hours unable to move and I still never get this good a finish, I can safely say this is going to be a staple in my nail box for a LONG time. Highly recommended.

It works, to an extent.Once you let your nail colour sit for a few minutes, and apply this... It does remove the tackiness, but that's about it.The removal of the tackiness is great, but be under no illusion that it means you can go about your business straight away and not mess up your nails! It still hasn't properly dried underneath. It definitely takes the pressure off ruining them when drying, but you absolutely no way could apply it and then start doing the washing up, or reach into your bag or something!But for the price, I do thinks it's a good product and useful, but manage your expectations!Update: I do my nails every 7-10 days, and the past few times,it's become so thick and gloopy that now with about a third of the bottle left, it's unusable. It also has been leaving bubbles.I will try another brand next time for comparison, I'm not overly impressed with the long term quality.

I do really like this top coat it dries fast and is super shiney but all too soon it gets bubbly and thick. Right now it has stands like you get from melted cheese coming from the bottle attached to the brush and it's so thick that although it's still touch dry in 60 seconds it was so wet underneath 5 hours later I could peel off all my polish. It does protect your manicure but no more than any other top coat. 2/ 3 days max before chipping or significant wear around the tips. I'm still on the hunt for my perfect top coat.Edit December 2018.I'm on my 4th bottle and the last two have lasted much longer before getting thick and there's less bubbles.I don't know if they have changed the formula or they have been from newer stock but I've stuck to it as it is very consistent. You can buy proper nail varnish thinners that dilute it too if it becomes too thick.

I've tried many 'quick dry' products for nail polish and found that they vary considerably both in terms of effectiveness and price. Having recently finished an expensive big brand aerosol-type drying spray I was on the lookout for a replacement. I like top coats too - but haven't always used them as some didn't seem entirely compatible with various polishes I use. The many positive reviews on Amazon alerted me to Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. Wow! Without doubt the best nail product I've used in years! It touch dries very fast - and helps to dry nails completely in record time. And bonus - the top coat element really works too. I use Barry M Gelly nail polish more than other brands nowadays and Insta-Dri gives a great shiny,long-lasting finish to my manicure. With fewer touch-ups required, Insta-Dri will save me money too. Can't recommend highly enough.

Good seller! The top coat is very good, does dry fast to the touch, but you'll still have to be careful for like an hour that you don't do crazy stuff because then it'll dent or move. So I'll still be looking for a better fast-drying top coat.Anyway, this is a good product, and the color does indeed stay very beautiful. It is also handy to keep in your bag in case your polish starts to chip and you need to 'glue' it, because this nailpolish dries fast it's very handy because you can quickly fix broken polishes and get on with your day. I have this with me all the time.After having used it for awhile it got extremely goopy, though, and it couldn't even be fixed with thinner. Not to mention the shrinkage,so I have recently switched to Essie's No Chips Ahead.

A super item that works and saves time waiting for those nails to dry without smudges.Simply to use over any type or make of nail polish, just do your manicure/pedicure then paint on a coat of this and within 30 seconds your nails are ready to use. Great for toes, as no waiting around for them to dry (yes you can walk around in less than a minute without spoiling your pedicure).Not that expensive for the amount in the bottle and the time saved factor having to redo any mistakes from catching slightly tacky nails.It also helps to protect the nails from chipping and peeling too, so your manicure should last for 7 days if used with this as your top coat.I have been using this item now for the last couple of years and it really does perform well.

This is my go-to for a quick drying top coat. The product works really well and dries your freshly painted nails quickly (within 2-3 minutes). It’s perfect for me as I have no patience to wait for my nails to dry and this enables me to move my hands freely shortly after painting them. I paint my nails at least once a week. I also reapply a coat if I want to freshen up a manicure. I would say definitely wait for your nails to set for one minute before applying this top coat (otherwise the polish is too wet and moves about slightly). Also it’s hard to get the product out of the bottle once you’ve used just over half of the bottle. It’s still my go-to and it is great value for money.I would definitely recommend this!

I have used this product for many years but am always disappointed. It does what it says - dries very quickly and sets the polish and creates a nice shine BUT two thirds down the bottle it is unusable. It goes very thick and cannot be applied to the nails. This is not very economic. I have written to Sally Hansen and was advised that it was because the neck of the bottle should be kept free of the product to form a proper seal to stop evaporation. On checking the neck of my bottle it was perfectly clean so this is clearly not the problem. Whilst it can be used it is a wonderful product. I just resent having to throw it away with a third still in the bottle.

I don’t often write reviews but this product definitely deserves one. Don’t know how I survived until now without this. Well, I did but my nails never managed to go through the night without getting pillow marks. Wanted to write the review last night because I noticed how quick my nails were dry but had to give it my ultimate test and that was going to bed. I must admit I was very sceptical, but...indeed this product is amazing and will be my forever buy. It’s any woman’s must have ?. I know, I sound very excited about it but that’s the true. For the first time in my life I woke up and my nails were intact from the pillows. Buy with confidence ladies!

As a mum to a non stop toddler I had long stopped painting my nails as it just took to Long to dry. I decided to try this with hopes of being able to paint and go and tbh I'm not disappointed. I used it on an old slightly gloopy sparkly favourite of mine and this would normally take about 30 mins of sitting in front of my fan to dry it fully. Popped this top coat over it after roughly 2 mins and within about 1 minute it was totally dry. No stickiness. I'm actually so impressed with this. I'm not sure if it will make the nail varnish last longer but tbh I'm not that bothered as now I can change my nail colour as often as I like. Very happy.

This product DOES do what it says. Wait two minutes, apply over whatever nail varnish you've used & it is completely dry in seconds.Very handy for when you want to fo your nails quickly before work or going out.I've found it doesn't work well as any kind of top coat though, my nails did chip, so I would advice using a top coat after (you can still use this to dry that top coat ?)Really surprised at how quickly it dried my nail polish & there was no transfer of polish to this product after just two minutes.Would definitely recommend, buy again but advise using a top coat if you want your manicure to last.

I never write reviews but this stuff is actually amazing and every girl should know about it. I love painting my nails but this stuff makes my nails look unreal. You need to get a pretty thick amount on the brush to get an even spread on the nail but wow once it’s on they look like gel nails and stay looking mint for AGES. Also, I use the Gelly Barry M nail varnishes which are pretty thick so usually takes a very long time to dry, I do my second coat of the gelly straight after the first coat and then a few minutes later put this on and within minutes they are bone dry, like actually dry. Buy it just buy it
