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.

Amazing!
This is by far the best base coat I've tried! I have my nails painted for over 2 weeks and they don't chip AT ALL. Definitely recommend!!
It works very well!

I can't believe I finally found something efficient that also looks good and doesn't modify the base color!! Thanks Essie 🫶🏼💜🙏🏼
Good Top Coat
Very pretty and shiny top coat. I've gotten lots of compliments on my nails. It dries pretty fast too!. Smells a tad bit strong. But If you don't have enough polish on the brush it will smear your nail color . Also, I wish the brush was longer cause once I get towards the bottom of the bottle it is difficult to get the product onto the brush which makes it easier to smear your nail color when you try to put it on.
Whoa!

This top coat is the truth! I applied it as a retouch on top of a week old set. I went outside and started pulling up weeds in my yard about 20 minutes later (though I don't recommend this) AND I DONT HAVE ANY DENTS! I can't believe it! This is a keeper!
Holy grail base coat!

I do my nails weekly. Normally I use a different base coat and my nails would start looking a little ragged by the middle of the week and downright embarrassing by the end of the week. I used here to stay on Saturday and they still look fresh 7 days later!
