Addicted to Speed Top Coat

First off, I too took time to debate with myself whether this top coat is worth the price tag. I’ve been and OPI lover for years, but was curious what else was out there. I really enjoy painting my nails at home, typically twice a week or so, but always had to start super early in the evening or would end up with sheet prints on my nails, and couldn’t really do much while they were drying. I’ve never found a quick dry top coat I liked, they always felt like they dries instantly on my nail (yes yes the point I know) and didn’t give me the shiny finish I wanted.Cue this beauty! It goes on smooth, feels thinner than most top coats in a good way, as it feels like it spreads across my nail with a single swipe instead of piling up in the middle and having to be spread out. Gives amazing shine and feels strong.But the best part is the quick drying. I don’t assume even quick dry polish is REALLY dry, just no longer tacky much more quickly than regular polish. When I tell you that within less than an hour (I dunno exactly how long because I just don’t touch my nails after top coat) my nails felt like they had dried overnight. Unsmudgeable, if that were a word. I could do laundry, dishes, throw the ball for the pup, all without worrying my polish would smudge or dent. I haven’t been wearing it very long, two days so far, so I can’t say if it’s super resilient, but being able to walk out of the house an hour after painting my nails and have zero worries? Well worth the price tag. BUY THIS PRODUCT!

This stuff is amazing! I use nail polish strips and this top coat helps hold my manicure for weeks! Easy, fast... Slap it on and you're out the door! Literally! Freshens up my polish and looks great!

I've been pretty much addicted to painting my nails for the past 10 years or so (I am 23 years old) and believe me when I tell you I have tried EVERY top coat the market has to offer. I've spent upwards of $4000 on nail polish alone throughout my lifetime--needless to say, I like to think of myself as a 'polish connoisseur'.Nothing blew my socks off like Deborah Lippmann's 'Addicted To Speed'. At first, the price tag made me a bit skeptical, "HOW can a topcoat cost me $20? am I in my right mind?!".....but eventually I bit the bullet and made the purchase after reading a plethra of positive reviews on Lippmann's polishes.Well, my polish-savvy friends, this top coat is HANDS DOWN the best top coat I have ever used in my life. It dries polish within 1 minute (for real) and gives your nails a shiny gleam that would make even the most skilled esthetician green with envy. Your nails honestly look salon-quality with only one coat of this stuff! I've completely finished my initial bottle, and have purchased two more. ALL of my friends use this top coat when they come and peruse through my polish collection (which is often)and they can't tell me enough how much they love it.ONLY thing I can say negatively about this product is that it IS a bit thick...I came to realize the thickness is actually a GOOD thing because it definitely extends the life of your manicure and actually makes nails break-proof. However, the thickness makes it a bit tricky to use the first few times you apply the top coat. With a little practice though, you'll be totally fine.You will NOT regret this purchase.

I received Addicted to Speed yesterday and tried it today. I just finished doing my nails and I am in shock at how great they look. I set a timer for 10 minutes to see if my nails would be dry. I went ahead and checked them at 8 minutes and they were already touchable. I’m sure they were probably dry sooner than that but was afraid to risk touching them. Not sure yet how they’ll hold up in a few days but the whole point in buying this was to get a quick drying top coat and Addicted to Speed delivered.

I’ve tried all the quick dry products, and this one is awesome! Highly recommend.

My husband bought this at my request. In my 60 years of getting my nails done and either painting them myself or having a professional technician do it for me, I have never used a topcoat that stands up so poorly to minimal abrasions or even washing dishes. It cracked and peeled within days of use and even my nail technician shook her head when I pulled it out of my purse for her to use and said “you’re not going to like this.” When I tried to return it, I was dismayed to learn that I could not. No returns accepted. Clearly money going directly into their pockets at the customers loss. Definitely will not be purchasing this item again nor anything else from this company.

Dries fast and hard, best I've ever used. Definitely worth the money

This is pricy, but worth every cent. I take it with me when I get my nails done. Makes them look like gel nails when they’re not. Dries in minutes. I love it!
