Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti Chip Top Coat Review

If you're someone like me, who no matter how careful you are always ends up ruining your newly painted nails while they're still wet, then you neeeeeeed this in your life!! It is seriously worth it, especially given it's only $20.

This definitely doesn't dry nailpolish in 30 seconds, it's more like a couple of minutes. However that is still super quick! I always let my polish dry to the 'set' stage (which is just a couple of minutes), and then put a coat of this on. Within a couple of minutes it's safe to move.... as in pick up a cup of tea, type, etc, without ruining your manicure.

Be aware that it still takes a while before your nailpolish is completely hard and dry, so don't do anything 'violent' straight away and expect to have perfect nailpolish, this just allows you to do normal things without worrying about smudging your polish.

It does also extend the life of your polish before it starts chipping - not majorly, just a couple of days, but it does help.

Overall, I love this, and would (and frequently do) recommend this to anybody and everybody. Hope that helps some of you! xx

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.

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!

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.

I got this item off the beauty vault and far out it's cool! The first time I used it I was amazed at the finish and strength it gave my manicure. The finish is glossy and looks like gels and the 'anti-chip' actually works pretty well. I have found that my nails still chip, but the manicure lasts longer before chipping starts. I am kind of in love♥

I brought this top-coat after using a friends, and WOW it's amazing. I always have issues with chipping and peeling nail polish, and I can never get my polish to last longer than a day. Using this my polish is lasting 3-4 days with minimal chipping around the top of the nail. It creates a gel-nail like texture that doesn't peel off the nail easily. Amazing.

this product is very good especially when in a rush and want your nails to dry faster or you just want a nice lasting top coat . the only problem i found with it is that when you did get a chip in your nail polish it all on that nail started to chip off with it . but it does defanity leave the nail polish on for longer

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!

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.

I'm the type of girl who loves the finish of my nails after getting them professionally done but hate going to the mall and waiting in cues to actually do it. I found this top coat in Posties for around $8 and thought i'd try it out. Now I am in love and cant do my nails without it. I've actually gotten asked a few times where I had gotten my nails done. People are often surprised to hear that I had done them myself at home! Pros - 1. amazing finish, my nails have the gel / shelac kind of finish to them. - 2. cheap find in posties. they often have sales. - 3. gives a more lasting finish to your normal under coat of nail polish. - 4. very easy to use brush. - 5. dries relatively quickly. Cons - 1. seems to dry out fast in the bottle and get gloppy fast? (or is that just me?)

I've repurchased this product three times now and will continue to do so! LOVE IT.
