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.

Made my nails Flake
It did make my manicure last longer but after only using it twice it made the tips of my nails flake forcing me to cut them shorter. My nails have never flaked before in my entire life.
Adds beautiful shine!
This is one of the best fast drying top coat I've ever used. I painted my nails a pastel purple and it had some streaks in it so when I applied only one coat of this speed setter it evened out the polish and gave it a smooth shiny finish. My nails also dried very fast. I've never had my nails this shiny before they almost look like glass! Definitely a great product that actually works! Im starting to love this Essie brand now.
Highly Recommend!!

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.
