I got my first bottle of this from my grandma, who was so impressed with how it dries basically instantly. It does chip rather quickly, but I just keep it in my purse for touch-ups--it's very thin, so you aren't piling it on and it never gets goopy. Some people probably took a lippie off because of staying power, but this dries so fast with no spray or top coat that I can't complain. You probably can add a long-wear topcoat if you want. Also, this goes with anything! It's shiny like a brand new penny, a rose gold, true pure metallic. I try other kinds, but they always get smudged before drying. My HG!
