I'm not in love. For a while, the Rapidry works great. But halfway through the bottle, it starts getting gloppy and makes spider web-like threads when you use it. And because it's not cheap or available at drugstores, it just wasn't worth the money or time I spent getting it. Although I bought OPI exclusively for years as I LOVE the quality of their polish, I tried another brand and have found my dream quick dry. Now I use Sally Hansen Insta-Dry in the red bottle. It's affordable and it works fabulously... down to the last drop!

I got a bottle of this free when I bought two regular OPI polishes. I love the OPI polish.

This top coat, however, is a real disappointment, and I would be furious had I paid the regular $12.00 retail for it.

The biggest problem I have is that if you attempt to use a normal sized coat on top of your polish, the top coat's thickness, in conjunction with the brush, ruins the actual manicure! I wind up having noticeable marks on my nails where application of the top coat actually removed my regular polish. The first couple times it happened, I just assumed I didn't wait long enough for the regular polish to dry. The next time I tried it, I waited a full five minutes and it still removed layers of polish (I had two coats applied - no base coat). What this means is that in order to avoid removing, and ruining, your polish, you have to apply a really thick coat.

Which leads us to our next problem. Using a thick coat inevitably leads to air bubble...Read more

This top coat does what it says, it dries fast. It's thick, shiny, and doesn't leave 'cracking' on the polish a day or two after the mani/pedi is done.
