The Essence products are all amazing and considering the price of this, it's quality and effectiveness is FANTASTIC. I am a die-hard OPI fan and I will always prefer their quick dry top coat as it really does dry so so quickly and my nail polish doesn't chip. But sometimes you just can't convince yourself that spending that kind of money on nail polish top coat is worth it. This is a pretty close second (the closest I've gotten to the effectiveness of the OPI quick dry top coat, and trust me, I've tried every brand's version as I'm SUPER impatient). It makes your polish dry really fast (especially if paired with the Essence quick dry nail polishes) and leaves a lovely smooth, shiny finish.
