Brand-new from the Lippmann Collection is a quick-dry polish called Addicted To Speed ($20). Despite its strong smell (P.U.!) and hefty price tag (that's 20 bills for a top-coat, sheesh) it really does work to get your fingertips functional again in a few minutes.
Although your nails won't be thoroughly dry, they'll be touch dry and non-tacky which means that you can put on your coat, dial the phone and begin to go on with your day (a nice change from the waiting game of manicures).
The directions say to hold off for about two minutes after you've applied your final coat of colored-polish and then paint on an even, thin coat. Tip: You don't want to glop it on like you would with other brands; this is important for optimal results. It provides a high-shine finish and it contains UV protection to help preserve your polish color. All things considered, are you excited to try Addicted To Speed?

Anything to get me out the door faster!
1Great! I really like this polish brand too.
2I always mess up my nail polish in the tacky stage, if this helped them dry faster I'd definitely be interested. I swear, I put two coats on my nails last night and waited an hour before I did anything and even though they seemed perfectly dry a couple of them smudged. Sigh.
Since it's a top coat does it do a good job with preventing chips too? I have issues with chipping too
3i hate when i put all this effort in doing my nails and then in a flash they are smudged. maybe i should invest in this if it'll save me some heartache.
4I might have to get this - if only because I inevitably get a fingerprint in my nail polish or something equally stupid because I just plain can't sit still long enough!
5I just bought a shea butter spray by Sally Hansen that generally does the same thing minus the UV protection. It works pretty well and only cost me $3.99 (it was on sale).
6Sounds great...
