During a quick visit to the mall I saw this top coat and I picked it up immediately. What attracted me to this Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip top coat was that it claims to dry any nail color in 30 seconds! I was fascinated as I am too lazy to wait for my nail paint to dry up and often have spoil my nail art due to this reason. I picked mine from Parcos in DLF Place, Saket. I always wanted a high-end top coat as the usual ones fade the nail paint on application and nail art often gets smudged. In fact many top coats take a thin layer of nail paint with them. My old one has now turned light opaque-ish red as I was in the red nail paint phase. Here’s why I love my Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip top coat:

Claims:  Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat dries any nail colour in 30 seconds! If you have wet nails and no time to spare then use Insta-Dri and you’ll get long-lasting shine, chip resistance and a great manicure that dries fast and lasts.

How it works:  Exclusive acrylic polymer complex dries any nail colour in 30 seconds. Nail colour stays true thanks to UV filters, which prevent fading, yellowing & discoloration caused by sunlight. Superior shine.

How to use: After applying nail colour, wait two minutes then apply one coat of Insta-Dri. Manicure will be dry to the touch in 30 seconds.

Packaging:  The Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip top coat is a beautiful red bottle with a white cap it is packaged in a cardboard box.

Price: 455 INR.

Pros: The Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip top coat works wonders on nails.

•        The packaging is super pretty.

•        The top coat really dries the nail polish within 30 seconds.

•        It gives a gel manicure like finish.

•        The consistence is thin but it applies easily.

•        Makes nailpaint stay for about 8-10 days without any chipping or flaking.

•        Does not yellow them.

•        Gives a buffed nail look if applied on nude nails.

•        It is my holy grail or HG top coat as it doesn’t take off other nail paints and makes the manicure last longer.

Cons:  None, except availability is a big issue.

Yes it is expensive but the glossy finish it gives, the quick drying and 8-10 nail paint wear makes it more than worth its price!

Rating: 4.5/5, If you have been looking for a top coat that stays and helps dry your polish buy this one and you will stop buying any other top coat.
