Review: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Polish

I literally used to get a manicure (and a pedicure every other time) every 2 weeks at a salon because I discovered Shellac and OPI Gel nail polish, which is guaranteed to last 2 to 3 weeks.  After doing this for about a year, my nails became weak and brittle, so I decided to take a hiatus from the salon and polish my nails at home.

I use different brands of nail polish, from name brands to drugstore brands, but I've ruled out that Sally Hansen Insta-Dri is one of my top 3 favorites!

Color: Mint Sprint

Pros:

• Inexpensive (You can buy a bottle for under $5 here!)
• Easy-to-use applicator
• Only 1 layer of application is needed
• Dries within 60 seconds (The packaging says 30 seconds, but I would wait a whole minute)
• Base and top coats are also available (You can use the top coat on top of regular nail polish for a quick and efficient dry time!)
• Lasts about 3-4 days without chipping

Cons:

• The polish itself is pretty thick
• Since the brush is on the thicker side, it's harder to control precision in small corners
• There isn't a wide selection of colors (yet)

Rating: 4/5
