Hours?! Oh no, I just bought the Insta-Dri yesterday from CVS! Maybe it doesn't dry fast because it's not real nail polish? I better try it out myself with a leftover white tip because I can't let my nails dry for hours! That's why I use Incoco in the first place! LOL

In any event, sorry the whole Incoco set or Insta-Dri didn't work for you, but, I'm glad you like the white tips!

oh no - it definitely works haha *^_^*

just giving you a heads up that for me the white tips didn't dry as quickly - when i ran my finger down the nail, it seems fine, but then after doing something about thirty minutes later, i noticed that both my thumbs looked kind of odd - one tip looked almost wrinkly and the other looked like it had been wet and i mushed it on something ... they both still felt dry to the touch though ... they don't get tacky - but you can't do serious stuff for a while (like removing the sticker of your son's ginormous bouncy ball) i still keep looking at my hands - i can't believe how easy it was for me to do my nails this well!

Well, considering it's called Insta-Dri, a half hour is still a long time to dry! False advertisement?! This will be hard for me to get used to because one of the best things about Incoco is there's no drying time. Well, we'll see, I'll probably try it out later tonight. Thanks for the heads up, though!

well, like you said earlier - i'm wondering if it just took longer to dry because of whatever the incoco stuff is made of ... i tried it over the white polish that put on myself and that dried pretty quickly (it says to wait 2 minutes after putting on nail polish and it should dry it withing 1 minute) and it did - just not the incoco stuff

i want to check out this insta-dri stuff. i've always used revlon double twist fast drying base and topcoat...and it's always dried within a min for me.

I don't think I've found my perfect top coat yet. It just stinks when you buy something and don't like it but you have the whole bottle left!

Hard as wraps, by Sally Hansen, it's the BEST. Keeps nail polish on nails, makes nails hard and looks great

Oh, and the fast-dry I use OPI oil, it's great, from ULTA

Thanks for the tip. I saw Sally Hansen Hard as Nails yesterday, but figured I'd try the Insta-Dri first. I have two clear OPI polishes from Ulta, Nail Envy and Start to Finish, but I consider them to be on the expensive side so I'm not sure they're something I'd buy again and again.

Okay, so I just tried the Insta-Dri, and I don't like it with just the white Incoco tips. Maybe it looks better with a nail polish underneath, but it didn't achieve the look I was trying by just wearing the white tips... I think it was too shiny.

Anyway, I tried a bunch of different Essie colors with the white tip underneath, Marshmallow, Mademoiselle, and Ballet Slippers. I liked Mademoiselle the most, but it's so close to the Fairy Dust and First Love Incoco kits that I wouldn't waste my time painting and drying my nails if I can just use the strips from the kit.

I also tried a few clear colors. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri, which I already said I didn't like for this look, OPI Start to Finish, OPI Matte Nail Envy, and Essie 3-way glaze. The OPI Start to Finish was okay, but made my nail bed look redder than it is and was also very shiny. Essie 3-way glaze was less shiny, and the OPI Matte Nail Envy was obviously matte! So, I'm debating between using the Essie 3-way glaze or OPI Matte Nail Envy over just he white tips. Basically, its a matter of how much shine I want. I'm going to give my nails a breather and do them Saturday, so I have a couple days to decide!

I did it just now. I like how easy it easy and no mess
But I don't like the color so much, too sparkly, I like pale/nude colors too.

I used the french mani 'silhouette'.

Which 1 is the one that doesn't shine so much, again?

Tks for this tip, besides the color I like the look, hopefully will last on my fingernails
