I literally had a 10 minute window to paint my nails and have them dry enough to walk out the door. I had two functions to attend, so I could not afford for the polish to get messed up. So, I figured, "what the heck; I'll give the RapidDry a try." I painted my nails (a beautiful wine color by OPI), and I applied a coat of the RapidDry. I blew on my nails for a few minutes, picked up my purse carefully, and zoomed out the door. Headed out of the driveway and grabbed my phone to do a quick check regarding driving directions, forgetting that my nails were wet. When I realized, I cringed as I peeked at my nails. ALL 10 were still PERFECTLY POLISHED: dry with a beautiful shine!
This product does dry quickly as it claims, however it quickly becomes gooey and unpractical. The only way to get it on is to apply a huge glob and spread it, which causes bubbles. In addition, it gets rid of the shine of the nail polish and makes the manicure look like plastic.

I'm not a fan of this top coat. I've tried it several times now, and each time it's been a bubbly mess. I expect better from a brand like OPI. I will probably go back to my Seche Vite top coat.

When I first started using it, it was great! Nails dried quick, easy to apply, glossy, and the perfect consistency. Only a quarter of the way through the bottle, and its thickened up, causing streaking unless applied heavily, and then you get bubbles instead. Switching to Sichen as I hear great things.

Good product

This fast drying clearcoat polish works very well for me. It helps dry the nail polish underneath, and it dries to a sheer shiny gloss. It is meant to be used with regular nail lacquer, and not gel polish for my nail salon. If you paint your own nails, this fast drying topcoat is a must!

I'm taking a break from gel nail polish and decided to just use regular nail polish now and let me tell you the only reason why I get gel is bc of how fast it dries this product really works ! My nails fully dried in about 30 min!!! Def will be using this every time I repaint my nails :)

I have used this top coat for many many many years. It's easy to put on, dries quickly and protects my polish beautifully. I wouldn't use anything else and I've been doing my own nails for 44 years

Like the wider brush to help prevent streaking. Dries fast for convenience.

I love love love this! where has this been all my life. ive always done my own manicures and I would always wake up with dented nail polish even when I painted them well before bedtime. I can go from base coat to undentable in one hour. no more setting aside an entire afternoon to paint my nails. this stuff rocks!

I can polish my nails, finish with this topcoat and go to bed. Never a smudge. Expensive but the best Rapidry out there.

What happened to this formula! This product used to be the bee's knees…it is awful now! Such a waste of money. It is so thick and goopy…I've tried 3 bottles recently, in hopes it was a bad batch or something…and all were junky! It ruins your painted nails, smudged, streaked and bubbles. Even if you use A TON of product, and get lucky enough for it to dry…there are still going to be tiny bubbles. Also, it literally doesn't dry through with a base + 2 color coats. Trying a different brand now.

I didn't even reach half way through the bottle and it was so thick. Created a lot of bubbles.
Kathie from Tonawanda NY
this is the best product out there as a topcoat one would not use anything else

Of all the quick dry top coats I've used, this has got to be one of the worst. No matter how thin or thick a coat you use and no matter how dry the polish underneath is, this top coat dents and smudges hours after applying it. And it's dull too.

I have used this product for years. Dries quickly and provides a nice shine. Never ever do my manicure without it

bubbles, smudges for hours after using over polish, my bottle is less than 3 weeks old and is already thick and stringy, doesn't dry fast, doesn't self level.

Another perfect product from OPI!
Clare from Delaware
I just did my nails about an hour ago with this quick dry top coat. And oh my goodness I am THRILLED! I used to swear by gel because traditional polish smudges every time, but this top coat is a game changer. I applied this after 1 coat of OPI base and 2 layers of OPI Infinite Shine polish. I babied my nails for like 25 minutes after, but I felt them and they were completely dry. Amazing for regular polish. I'm hooked! I highly recommend waiting about 2-5 minutes after applying the colored polish to minimize the amount that gets on the top coat brush, but otherwise no complaints here. I'm going to get myself more colors now!

One hour after application it is smudging.

This product streaks the nail polish color even leaving color areas bare. I've tried everything. I let my polish dry for an hour. It still streaks the color. I use huge globs to avoid the brush contact, it still streaks the polish. It's too expensive to be just like every other lousy product. The brush is left with polish color on it. Wish I could return it.
Amanda from MI
Very shinny and dries fast. I can do my nails and then go about my day. No more waiting and then ruining them anyways cuz they aren't fully dry.
Jeanie from New York
I use this to dry 2 coats plus base coat and top coat. Then topcoat every other night. I absolutely LOVE and make sure I'm NEVER without.
SCmama from California
I did a base coat, two lacquer coats, a top coat and these drops and was done with my nails and ready to go in about 15 minutes! They're a lifesaver!
