Makes my manicure nearly invincible

I've been using this top coat for a few months now, and I really love it. I apply it once my nails have nearly set, and then within a couple of minutes I can use my hands again. Nothing is more annoying than painting your nails and having to sit still for ages until they dry. My manicures will usually look perfect after a week with this on, I tend to change my polish weekly but could probably go 10-14 days with this still looking good. It makes my nails really shiny, people have asked if my normal nails are a gel polish because of that. It's easily accessible, at Farmers and Pharmacies which is handy, don't have to muck about trying to buy it online.

Tips: You could apply it even if your nails are already done, as it gives a great shine to them.

Fantastic!

I am constantly rushed when applying nail polish and I found this product to be a complete gem! I slick it on 2 min after i have applied two coats of polish, wait s minute or so and can be assured that I am not going to smoosh up my nails on the way out the door or putting my son into his carseat. The only downside is that when I get down to the last eighth of the bottle the product had gone globby and stringy making it impossible to use. So there is a small amount of waste of product. But I wouldn't be without it!

GREAT FOR IMPATIENT PEOPLE LIKE ME

I am a mother of a toddler and i just dont have the time to sit around to wait for my nails to dry, too many things to do so i was wanting a product to hurry up the process for me. I purchased this product and fell in love instantly all you need is a couple coats after you apply your nail polish and it was dry instantly it gave shine to my nail and also the color looked more pigmented than before. I will be repurchasing this item.

Tips: Give it a minute or so before applying the top coat and you only need a small amount for each nail. P.s keep it away from your friends/colleagues mines all finished :(

That is the exact reason I don't do my nails often anymore. No matter how fast asleep or occupied my toddler is the minute I get that second coat on all nails I am suddenly needed hehe. This sounds great

Really happy with this product.

I recently got this product along with a few other items of Sally Hansen and I must say I am quite impressed. I was a bit weary about using it as I am a big OPI fan and was not too sure about whether this would compare but it does work,

It comes in a red glass like bottle and it has a unique shape to it but it is very easy to hold. It does has quite a strong scent so I suggest using it in a very well ventilated room to avoid getting headaches or anything like that.

I am one of these girls that does my nails and then within the hour I have completely ruined them from hitting them and smudging the product but this has made life that little bit easier and I finally enjoy painting my nails again, I don't think it is only 30seconds though so that may have people misinformed, 30seconds it may be dry by a light touch but all the layers have not set so I personally found to still be careful but not like when using a normal top coat. It is around $20 depending on where you go, online can be a bit cheaper but pharmacys and other places quite often have specials so you can pick it up cheaper again.

Overall I am happy with this product and will happily recommend to my friends and family to buy and use aswell.

Acrylic magic in a bottle

How amazing is this product!! I have used so many top coats and always felt let down when my nails chipped after a day or too. I do a lot of typing so my nail polish does get a good work out. This top coat has to be the best I have ever used, I love how quickly it dries and how it goes rock hard - It has acrylic in it and boy does it make a difference to the life of your manicure! I currently have it on my nails and we are up to day 7 with no chipping at all! It has lasted through work, housework, gardening and loads of playing with my toddler. This would easily be my all time no1 product!

Tips: Once I have applied x2 coats to the top of my nails and let it dry I also put a light coat directly on the tips of my nails (run it flat along the tip) to help protect them from chipping

The Best Top Coat Ever!

This is the best top coat I have ever used. Not only does it almost instantly dry your nails but makes your finish really shiny and chip resistant. Usually keeps my nails nice and tidy for a week - as long as I'm not doing anything too hard wearing.

Best top coat ever

This would have to be my all time favourite top coat, not only does it dry hard and last long, it's quick drying and is pretty much what it says, instant! I can apply a full colour and top coat before I go to work and know it's not going to smudge . I give my nails grief but can happily report this helps my manicure last longer. Highly recommend

Game Changer

Feels like I have wasted so much time over the years waiting for nail varnish to dry. There is nothing worse than accidentally knocking nails and having to restart OR waiting, waiting, waiting.

I was intrigued to try this product, use Sally Hansen regularly but certainly didn't expect the result I got, exceeded my expectations. I used to get gel colour in the salon years ago and really loved how it dried almost instantly, I was a little skeptical (not expecting too much) but thought I needed a new top coat anyway so no harm in trying this out.

True to instructions it dried nail varnish in 30 seconds. However I would note that it didn't dry to hard like nail varnish is once given 24 hrs to fully set but it did dry enough to quietly potter around for a hour or so and had shower and did dishes a few hours later with no marks, smudges or nicks.

Its very easy to apply, not quite as shinny as the Sally Hansen top coat but added another layer of just top coat the next day. Had a cooling effect when applied & did not have a unpleasant or strong smell.

True game changer for me. I am stoked to have found this product, very cost effective and well worth investing in.

Tips: Keep in the fridge to avoid it going thick and gloopy. (I store all my nail varnishes in the fridge, especially helpful in summer).

Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Top Coat - Review

I LOVE this top coat! I bought it on sale a couple months ago from The Warehouse, and it's already my favorite. For starters, it's readily available from The Warehouse, Farmers and a few other stores and though the price isn't the cheapest, it's still a pretty good cost.

The bottle is fairly big and the applicator is perfect to glide over your nail. The formula is great, not too thick or thin, and really gives your nail a good coat to avoid chipping.

It dries quick, in 5 minutes my nails were pretty much dry! This lasted all week without any chipping on my nails (they were fake, I don't know if that affects it).

Although it doesn't dry as fast as, say, Seche Vite, it does dry pretty quickly compared to a lot of other brands.

I will definitely be repurchasing this whenever it's on sale as I love it!

Tips: Cap the tip of your nails to make your polish last longer!

Great Product

I love most of Sally Hansen’s products,this one is no exception.

As much as I’d love to swan about not being able to lift a finger because I painted my nails, it’s not always practical and I don’t always have time to let them dry. This top coat dries them to touch really quickly, and I’d confidently do most things within 10 minutes of painting my nails knowing I don’t need to be too careful not to smudge my polish.

It doesn’t leave the polish overly shiny (I love Gel polishes for that, but given a choice I’d prefer my polish to be dry quickly. I have acrylic nails, and my job in retail is hard on my nails, so I wouldn’t say it’s overly good at protecting my polish from chipping, but I purchased it more for the quick dry factor.
