Question 1

I heard this darkens polishes and can only be used with dark polish? How does this compare to Out the door and poshe?

Accepted Answer

This insta-dri has been my go-to top coat (that dries in approximately 30+ seconds) for years. I've worn it with nearly every color you could think of.... White to black and everything in between. I have NEVER noticed this product change the color of any of my polishes. And I change my nail color (practically) every 5 days or so.....I bore easily.

PLUS - it is one of the strongest and protective top coats I've found. While it only takes one coat and 35+ seconds to do what it's meant to do.....I, generally, wait 10 minutes after my first coat and add a second coat to my nails. I do this because it provides such an amazing strength, chip free, and beautiful shine. I work with my hands.... It can be extremely demanding most of the time and I rarely, if ever, chip or damage any of my nails!

The only problem I have with this product is that half way through the bottle it becomes extremely thick. And using it like this can cause your manicure to streak. However, because it's such an amazing product I purchase an inexpensive nail lacquer thinner, so that I am able to use the entire bottle. It only takes a few drops to thin it out and works wonderfully.

I love this product and can't speak more highly of it.

Question 2

For use on top of full mani, or after each coat of color?

Accepted Answer

I've only used it as a top coat.  I use Sticky as a base, 2 coats of polish (usually OPI) and this top coat.  It's awesome & dries so fast!!

Question 3

Did anyone buy the insta dri black? All i see is White to Black reviews.

Accepted Answer

This is actually “Slick Slate,” as shown in the 2nd and 3rd pictures. As far as I can tell, that’s the only color in the “White to Black” option. It’s super confusing. But the “Slick Slate” is almost a charcoal gray with a slight purple undertone.

Question 4

is this for use with nail polish?  I don't use gels

Accepted Answer

Yes! Any non gel polish! With gel you should use gel top coat! Use with regular nail polish only!
