Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color, Lickety-Split Lime, 0.31 Fluid Ounce

Lovely colour - I find this varnish stands up to harsh cleaning chemicals etc - for a good week or more unlike most other brands

This is the quickest drying polish I've used in 24 years when I was somehow entrusted with what was probably extremely toxic kiddie nail polish that came with a cheap makeup kit. It would dry into sheets of hot pink cellophane and I would immediately peel it off afterward because I was/am neurotic, haha. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri is nothing like that and I was 4 at the time. Otherwise, using any other polish is a nightmare because I can't handle having flaws after coating my nails. Again, neurotic :) And I lack the patience to let a set completely dry, so I have to take at least an hour out of my day to plan around a dumb home manicure. Anyway. I've been using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri for several years now and I absolutely love it. I've come a long way from those kiddie makeup kits. By the time I get to the last nail, the first nail is dry, which takes only a few minutes. I don't recommend applying it if the room you're in is cold or drafty because it will start to get lumpy/stringy and a lot more difficult to brush on. This is also when you know that a bottle is getting old. My first bottle was a shade of red, which I've owned for over 5 years now and only recently did the lumps become impossible to shake out.As far as lasting power goes, I can't really tell. I work with my hands a lot and moisture (using your hands in water) seems to destroy it more quickly. I've painted my nails just after taking days off work and it seems to last just under a week. If I'm at work, it last a couple of days. That said, if it gets chipped or scuffed, it's no hassle to use polish remover on that one nail and re-coat it. Painting over a nail that already has dried polish on it definitely increases dry time, if it dries at all, so I recommend starting fresh. This isn't very clear, so you really only need one, solid coat of polish rather than having to layer it to achieve the desired shade. Even the black goes on dark and solid.Basically, this stuff is a godsend for weirdos like me and people who simply lack patience to wait for a sticky lacquer on their fingers to harden and look good. It comes in a lot of fantastic shades and is 1000% worth every penny. I cannot recommend it more highly.

Great unique color! Love the wide application brush. Took less swipes for full opacity. Affordable price.

Love it.

It dries in 2 or 3 minutes flat and you only need to use 1 coat of polish. Super fast, super easy. And the lime color is gorgeous.
