Favorite Topcoat
Basically, it's like Seche Vite on Red Bull. It dries even faster than Seche Vite does, get less shrinkage, even less prone to bubbles (even if you abuse it by glopping it over hastily applied thick layers of completely wet polish), and it's even a bit longer wearing. It still has a bit of shrinkage, but you can definitely get away with not tip wrapping (as opposed to Seche Vite, where you'd end up with worn looking nails if you son't), sometime I can even get away with using it as a refresher top coat without the polish lifting up the edges. However, it doesn't dry to as high and wet a shine as Seche Vite does, but it's still very shiny and Seche Vite's shine can sometimes look like too much. All in all, it's a great splurge as a top coat for me. Though I can only justify getting a bottle a year because of the price, I'm on my third bottle now, and I can safely say it's my favorite top coat.
Conclusion? Get it if you want something a notch up from Seche Vite. :)

sucks
Chips, peels at the edges of your nails, and does not stay shiny longer than a day or two. Genuinely shocked at all the praise this awful product receives. I have given it a fair chance and tried with multiple different brands/polishes all with the same subpar results. Skip this and buy Londontown or Chanel. So many better top coats out there.

Dries and looks great, hard to remove polish
This dries and looks great, makes polish feel tough and sturdy. Sounds like I may be the only one with this problem, but this topcoat has made it nearly impossible to remove my polish when I actually try to. Have used this 4 times with different polishes, and have tried different removers, and each time it's been incredibly hard to take off my polish. It almost feels like I'm trying to remove gel polish. I go through 5-6 cotton pads saturated with remover and rub rub rub, practically scrape. And even then it doesn't even come all off. I almost feel like I'm damaging my nails each time. For this reason, don't know if I'd get it again despite loving how it dries and looks so great.

Tis stuff rocks!
I absolutely love Addicted to Speed and Deborah Lippmann products. This shiny, instant nail hardener dries in seconds, saving so much waiting-to-dry time. It lasts about a week, and gives a stunning, hard, shiny top coat. It's totally worth $20. It does get stringy and hard towards the bottom of the bottle, but that's when you hop on Nordstrom.com and order some more with free shipping! Buy it!

love it!
I am very happy with my purchase. In my opinion this is better than the Chanel le gel, which drys out so quickly in the bottle This one goes on so smoothly and does what it says. New fave!

Best Topcoat EVER!
I paint my nails every night before bed to match my outfit - I know it sounds crazy but we all have our quirks ;)
I’ve used this topcoat for 7 or so years and swear by it. First, it creates a beautiful, shiny, professional looking finish to your manicure. Second, it’s extremely quick drying - by the time you paint your second hand, your first hand is dry to the touch as long as you haven’t done thick coats! You also need to keep the lid on tight- it will thicken with time if not (again, super quick-drying). I love this topcoat so much!

does what is should
It dries your polish very quickly and safely. Only problem, it has the strongest odor I have ever smelled in a nail product. I have never been bothered by odor until this product.
