Most Helpful Positive Review SO AMAZING!!! It says dries in seconds, and it lives up to it! I applied to some of my nails with slightly wet polish, and after I counted to ten, IT WAS ALL DRY!!!!!! Leaves it extra shiny!
Most Helpful Critical Review Awful product I've used mine about 5 times now, it does dry fast... However, after the first use I noticed my nail color looked cracked but since I was using 3 new polishes all at once I wasn't sure which one was causing the cracks. But now I can safely say that it is the topcoat causing the weird cracked look. The first day it looks fine but by day 2 it causes the color beneath the top coat to crack and the topcoat itself begins to chip. This does not happen with any of the other cheaper topcoats that I've used. It's honestly bizarre but it looks terrible so save your money.

Maureen from USA
I'm a noob at doing my nails. But this product is a game changer. I used to hate doing my nails because they smudged. Not with this product! They dry almost instantly!
Cracks in the paint 3
Tasha from Arizona
This polish dried quick and was glossy but as I wore it, it began to crack the sally Hansen polish underneath. Undecided on whether to recommend it, as i need to give it another chance.
I hope they make this forever.!! 5

I had to stop doing my nails for many years because of a medical issue. I recently started doing them again and still had an unopened bottle of this. Put it on and was shocked that it still works. No nail chips, over a week and my nails look like I just did them.
This is SO amazing! dries in 5 minutes! no more smudged nail 5

SO good
It Works! 4
Gee1966 from Burlington, NC
I have been using this product for years. I polish my own nails usually an hour before bed. Really dries quickly and dies make even very cheap nail polish looking beautiful. Only issue-recently the last couple of bottles dried out quickly. Maybe something about the formula changed?
Great Product 5
Sally from Molalla, OR
Just as described, dry in minutes and shiny finish. Will buy again.
Best top coat 5
MCW from Galveston, TX
I have used this for years. I like it better than any high end equivalents (Essie, OPI, etc.). It dries quickly and leaves a great shine.
Weird finish on long nails... 3
sprinkles from New Jersey
I have long natural nails. Maybe an inch and a half long. Anyway, this product does dry very quickly, however, it dried to a very weird finish. On half of my nail it dried to the standard glossy finish o expect from a clear coat. However, on the tips of my nails that grow past my fingertips, it dried to a matte finish. I don't know why this would happen.
Does what it says & nice sheen 4
PolishandZoomMeetings from Vancouver Island, Canada
I keep re-buying the insta-dry and it does what it says it does. As long as I haven't applied overly thick coats of colour underneath, it dries quickly and my colour lasts up to a week.
My only complaint is that when you're about half-way through the bottle, it starts to get quick thick and difficult to work with. I'm going to try thinning it but I worry that will stop it working as a quick-dry topcoat. The bottle reads 9.17 mL but I would consider it 4 mL, just because you'll have to re-buy mid-way through.
Never Again 1
awill831 from undisclosed
I've been using this for years and the last two bottles I bought dried out super quickly into a thick goopy mess. Never used to happen before, so don't know if the formula has changed but guess I'll have to find a new top coat.
It really does work! 5
HilaryL from Syracuse, NY
I have used this product for years, it's amazing!
I like to polish my own nails. This really does dry to touch in minutes and has a great shine. To keep my color fresh, every couple days I add a coat of color and finish with this product. Typically I'll top coat my nails with insta dry about 30-20 minutes before I go to bed. I always wake up with a flawless manicure

Bubbles and chips 2
NYITALIAN from Ny
Dries polish fast even with 2/3 coats dried in between.

Dries super fast! 4
Slaney from Ohio
I love how fast this stuff dries! It does a fairly good job of making my polish last too. It's not a miracle worker but it's probably the best top coat I've found so far.
Dries quickly no anti-chip 2
dada from New Jersey
Doesnt really protect your polish at all.
Terrible product- Chips Instantly 1
Maddie111 from St Paul, MN
Even though the polish dries instantly, it also chips instantly as well. Not even 6 hours later this polish was chipping and peeling from my nails. So disappointed
Great, but can only use half the bottle 4
Lexi from California
This top coat is very shiny, makes nail polish last longer, and is affordable, but halfway through the bottle it gets very thick, stringy, gloopy and makes it hard to use to the point where I end up having to throw away the rest. Have bought 3 bottles and they all do this. Still worth the price but just keep in mind you'll only use about half the bottle.
THE BEST 5
A from San Diego
Does what it says - dries fast and keeps polish from chipping. Definitely better than other brands I have tried.
Shine and dry 4
Meredith shopper from Az
Product applies like nail polish and gives nails a nice shine. It dries almost instantly.
I buy over and over again 5

Don't do my nails without it
My go to! 5
Maeberry from Loveland, Ohio
I have tried tons of quick dry topcoat over the years. Including brands you can only buy in professional stores. I always go back to the Sally Hansen's red bottle. It's the best and never lets me down.
Do yourself a favor and just but it 5
Kate from Louisiana
Holy Grail product, I'm telling you. I love love this stuff if they ever ever stop making it I'll freak out because this is what gets the job done. If you paint your nails before bed like I do then this product will not disappoint because in the morning no smears or smudges.
