New Sally Hansen Insta-Dris, part 2!

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)

Hello!


You guys...I'm sooooo sick. Like, lay down to rest for five minutes and wake up four hours later sick. Which, among other things, mean I have a ton of content I need to get out to you because I got nothing done over the weekend. So I'll have several videos up on my YouTube channel this week, and a bunch of posts going up here. :)


Starting with part 2 of my Sally Hansen Insta-Dri review! I showed you the first half of their 16 new shades in my part 1 post, and today we'll take a look at the rest of them. Then, later in the week, I'll be showing you how they stamp, since I love Insta-Dris for stamping.

New Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes, part 2

We're gonna plunge into the second half of the alphabet with Sally Hansen Racing Rose, a soft baby pink creme:

Coverage: 1-2 coats
Application: Very good

I mentioned last time that the pastel cremes in this collection all cover in 1-2 coats, depending on whether or not you have ridge issues like I do. If you do, you may need two thin coats, but if you have short or smooth nails, you'll only need one. And, all the polishes lived up to their names and dried quickly, withing a couple of minutes.

This is a perfect soft pink for spring, gentle and sweet.


Next we have Sally Hansen Silver Stallion, a silver metallic:

Coverage: 1 coat
Application: Very good

This is a powerful silver with a hint of pewter, rock 'n' roll all the way. As you can see on my index finger, it does show brush strokes, so you'll want to stroke straight up and down.


Next we have Sally Hansen Slick Slate, a brown-gray creme:

Coverage: 1-2 coats
Application: Very good

This is an excellent fall neutral with a cool, elegant feel.


Then we have Sally Hansen Taupe To Go, a cafe-au-lait taupe creme:

Coverage: 1-2 coats
Application: Very good

This is another excellent fall-type neutral, this one to go with your warmer tones. I love having a good, solid brown for my nail art, and this fits the bill. And, spoiler alert--I was shocked by how well this stamps over both white and black.


Then there's Sally Hansen Thyme Is Money, a pastel sage green:

Coverage: 1-2 coats
Application: Very good

I adore this color, which is saying something, since I don't normally favor pastels. This has a vintage quality that makes me see art-nouveau swirls, and old-fashioned summer dresses.


Next up is Sally Hansen Va-Va Violet, a gorgeous grape-purple creme:

Coverage: 1 coat
Application: Excellent

This screams summer to me--grape popsicles and pansies and bright teeny bikinis.


Then we have Sally Hansen Watermelon Wizz, a hot pink creme:

Coverage: 1 coat
Application: Excellent

And finally, one of my favorites, Sally Hansen White On Time, a white creme:

Sally Hansen White On Time

Coverage: 1-2 coats
Application: Excellent

This is a pure white that applies like a dream, evens nicely, and gets full coverage in 2 coats if you have ridges, one coat if you don't. No worries about pulling and patchiness--which makes this great to wear and amazing as a go-to base for nail art. LOVE.


So what do I think of the new Insta-Dris? They live up to the collection's reputation or drying quickly, covering well, and having great formula. There are a variety of colors here to take you across seasons, and so many that are must-haves for nail art, in my opinion.


Stay tuned for my report on how they stamp...and in the meantime, you can pick these up on Sally Hansen's website, anywhere Sally Hansen is sold, like drugstores, Target, etc., and on Amazon.


Happy polishing!
