Great finish
7 years ago
I don’t always have time to do my nails as I have two kids, one who has additional needs, I’m disabled and have a lot of medical appointments and also I run my own business. So I don’t always have time to do my nails, or they chip quickly. I have taken the time to do my nails and use the top coat, it’s left my nails beautifully shiny and so far chip free.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is the best top coat nail polish I have ever used. The nail polish went on extremely well, it wasn’t thick and gloopy like other brands I’ve used. I applied two coats over the top of my usual nail polish and I was extremely impressed with the high gloss shine it gave my nails. I was actually surprised at how fast it dried too and being a busy mom this is perfect as I don’t get long to paint my nails and always end up smudging them! The polish itself lasted really well with hardly any chipping after 7 days which is fantastic as I’m always washing up. Overall I’m extremely happy with the product and would highly recommend to others.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Bring back the old one!

I have been using speed setter for a while and have turned on all of my friends to this great life changing top coat. I would use Essie first base, Essie color and then this top coat. My mani would last at a minimum 9 days but sometimes two weeks, depending on the amount of cleaning I’d do! This last time I bought a bottle, it looked different. I thought maybe just a packaging change but something must be different with the actual product. I painted my nails Saturday and by Sunday I had three peel off. Almost the whole color peeled at once. I redid those and the next day two more peeled ! I’m so sad because this was my go to top coat!!!
No, I do not recommend this product.

Impressed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail setter has made me so happy I stopped doing my nails because I don't have enough time for them to dry by the time I have to do other stuff around the house. So with this I painted 2 coats of regular Essie nail polish then applied this Nail Setter and they were good to go after about 10 minutes no more tack no finger prints left in them. I even took out some trash and they touched a lot of things that should have scratched them an it didn't they stayed so shiny but you do need a top coat if you want it to last or it will peel away a day later. But it does what it should I will be buying this again I love it. I do recommend it

Works great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical when getting this because I've never found a speed setter that actually worked fast BUT this is awesome! My daughter and I love to paint our nails but we both don't have the best patience when it comes to waiting for it to dry. First, I did my daughters nails and told her to try and sit still while she finished her show which had 10 minutes left. she lasted about 5 and then started doing flips off the bed and when she came back I looked and her nails weren't messed up at all! I did my nails and ended up having to leave to go to the store and they were dry in no time! It also is a top coat and makes my nails nice and shiny. Highly recommend!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Fast slick and shiny
5 years ago
I love having freshly painted nails but having a busy toddler and a hectic week, I struggle to find the time to spend on myself that often so any time saving trick is always a bonus. This Essie Speed Setter top coat is genius - it shortens the drying time of nail varnish and allows me to get on with things without having to wait for my nails to dry for as long as I usually would without it. It applies easily, the brush is a good size and shape, and it leaves my polish looking shiny and slick. I may have been too eager to get on with things, and 5 minutes after applying, picking up a towel did dislodge one edge of my polish and leave a slightly ridged effect, so i'd say 7-10 mins would be a better bet to leave the polish until it's more firmly set.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Only shiny while it lasts
7 years ago
I bought this hoping it would just do what it said, provide a shiny top coat and dry quickly. It did both for the first day and by day 2 (the next morning actually) most of my nails were flaked off at the tips, and some were completely peeled off! For the record I used Essie Grow Stronger Base Coat applied to clean, dry nails first, and have short nails that do not extend beyond the tips of my fingers. I use my hands for normal activity, not more than that. I'm very disappointed with this product which is quite expensive compared to other brands generally available. I won't purchase it again.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there! Thanks for the personal feedback on our speed.setter. Essie pro tip: to further extend the life of your nail polish, apply a thin layer of top coat every two days after your manicure. This re-stabilizes the polish, further preventing chips, and refreshes the shine. We hope this helps for future applications!

Dries my nails so fast!
5 years ago
This product is so handy for painting my nails, i find painting my nails so much easier by adding this over my nail colour as a top coat, my nails dry so quickly and easily. It adds the perfect shine and dries very fast, which helps if you have to do anything right after you paint your nails!! Great for anyone looking for a quick nail paint.
Yes, I recommend this product.
