Fast and Smooth
Using a fast drying top coat is the only way I will paint my nails and Essie's Speed Setter top coat definitely is fast enough for me. It really does dry to the touch under a minute after application. However, I wouldn't call it completely set or cured for another hour or so. There is still the poss...

Ruined my nail polish
I used the essie speed setter and it ruined my nail color. I now have cloudy tips. I will never buy this again. Waste of my time and now I have no time to fix them before a big event today.

This has become my favorite base coat because I've noticed that my manis last longer when I use it. It helps to even out the surface of my nails for polish application, so it helps the polish to better adhere to my nails.
Only top coat I use
I do my nails around once a week and this is the only top coat I will use. It dries very quickly and adds a good shine.
Amazing buy it!

I normally don't paint my finger nails because they chip within a day. I bought this and decided to paint my nails, the polish lasted almost a week without chipping and my nails weren't stained. It also held my 4 and 5 yr old daughters nail polish on longer than I have ever seen it before. 10/10 would absolutely buy again.
My go-to for years

This is my go-to top coat since a very long time. No matter the polish underneath it, it just makes it last for days and look brand new. I re-apply it throughout the week to extend that 'freshly done' look. Just love it! And also I'm not promoted to write this review, genuinely wanted to help those who are looking for a new top coat! :)

Almost all of the reviewers for this product received an incentive. I haven't, so I thought I'd post my own review. In a nutshell, this works. And it works better than Good to Go. Speed Setter dries to the touch in about two minutes and has a lasting shine. But you do actually have to let the base coat and color coats dry before painting this top coat on, which takes about 2-5 minutes for each coat depending on the heat and humidity where you live. I live somewhere both hot and humid, so it's five minutes per base/color coat for me. Then I paint on this top coat and wait 15 minutes for it to fully, FULLY "rock hard" cure because my lifestyle is the archenemy of nail polish. (Musical instruments, excessive typing, small children, hot water galore, using nails as tools, digging in the dirt, painting, sanitizer, bleach, you name it.) Then I'm ready to go. And it lasts for the next week. WEEK. Doing all of the above. Usually I show tip wear in hours. I swear, this top coat lasts longer than most of Kim Kardashian's marriages. Buy it, use it, thank it, love it, marry it, rewrite your will and leave everything to it in gratitude for the long-wearing shine it provides you. Because it will.
