Reviews of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color, Expresso, 0.31 Fluid

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color, Expresso, 0.31 Fluid Ounce

I love these polishes. The trick is to apply the insta dry no chip top coat right after the first application. I then apply the color over the top coat and put a second insta dry no chip top coat and voila my nails are good to go for a couple of weeks. If you use one coat and no top coat, it will chip easily. It seems like more work but since both polishes dry quick, the process is fast. The brush is wide so be careful.

I love Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish because I am impatient about letting my nails dry. When I try other polishes, I always come back to this one.

An added bonus of buying it on Amazon is that it costs less than at most stores, and you can get a "subscription" to the product, timed to when you will need your next bottle.

Because the polish is quick-drying, it does dry out and get a little goopy faster than some other polishes. However, this is not much of a deterrent for me because of the convenience, price, and color (Expresso) of the product.

The Expresso color is actually the only Insta-Dri color with which I am completely satisfied. It is a mauve-ish, light burgundy-ish, purple-ish, red-ish, color with hints of gray and brown-Kind of a neutral accent. It's not as bright as a red or as light as a nude, but it still seems classic and is very wearable. I've received several compliments. I also like the Cinnasnap color, but it is a little too dark, and Petal Pusher is nice, but it's difficult to get it on evenly because it is so light.

The polish can last from a few days to over a week. I recommend using two coats with a topcoat. Each thin coat takes about 1-2 minutes to dry. If you do two coats plus a topcoat, it will probably take about 10-15 minutes.

Nice colors. Brush is wide so you need fewer strokes to paint your nails. Drys in a minute or less so it's great for when you want color on your nails but have little to no time. I often apply it as I'm heading out the door for work. Because it's so easy to apply and dries so quickly, I wear polish more often and always get complements. Yes, it does chip easier than some other polishes. I just do a quick touch-up.

I love this color and get a lot of compliments on it. Only bad side is that it only looks good 2 days TOPS and usually starts chipping by the end of the second day, even with top coat. I will continue to use since it's inexpensive though.

I have lots of nail products and get manicures regularly, but I have never had a worse nail polish for chipping almost the minute it is dry! Have tried it a few times (in a dark color), and it ALWAYS chips right away. Will never buy this again, even though I really like the color (mine is Mochachino).

I got this polish at Walgreen's for cheaper than the price without shipping. So if you can buy in store I would!

I really liked the way this crackled. I watched a few video's on Youtube to decide which I wanted to try. It turned out great on my toes with a light thin coat. Lots of little cracks. I did a thicker coat on my fingernails and the result was a bigger crack. I posted pics so you can see the results.

All and all I'm pretty happy with it. It didn't seem too thick until I reached my pinkie. Work fast and you'll have no problems. Remember roll the polish in your hands vs shaking before you apply.

I bought this at Target a few days ago. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work over glitter polish and now my toes just look like they're moldy.

This product is best used over a light nail polish, otherwise the crackle effect does not show up as well. I have used it over pink and orange (for Halloween) and it looked pretty nice. It takes some practice to get the right amount on and you only have one shot before it starts to crackle. Too thin of a coat and there will be too many crackles and the black will be too transparent. Too thick of a coat and you will only get a few large crackles. Personally I like the look of large crackles better, since it is more noticeable. Once dry, the black appears matte so definitely use a shiny top coat.

I'm picky about my nail polish, and find most brands to be too thick, clumpy and difficult to apply evenly. I love this polish (I have tried a few colors) because they are consistent.

They are smooth and glide across the top of my nail easily. Even when I do my nails myself (I am pretty clumsy), it always looks beautiful. I usually use Opi Ridge Filler .5 oz. as a base coat, and Sally Hansen Dry Kwik Nail Color Dryer-0.45 oz as a glossy top coat.

I have 161 Teak Rose and love it! It reminds me of an 'old spice' vintage color.

I highly recommend this product.

I purchased this in Gold Get 'Em at the drug store, but the polish was very thin and runny. It was difficult to apply as it was so runny it clumped up along my cuticles. I had to apply several thin coats to build up the color. Though the color was pretty, I don't know if it was worth the mess and time.

I like Revlon nail polish second only to OPI brand. Red is too bright for me, and orange is too bold, but this color is a warm tone somewhere in between that is flattering to fair skin.

I'm lucky if I can go a full 24 hours without chipping newly polished nails. I only got these because they were 50% off at Target (regularly $8.49). But have now ordered several from Amazon, still cheaper than the store. They are made of real nail polish, but have something else in them because they don't get nicks or chip as easily as regular nail polish. They last at least 2 weeks for me. Possibly longer but I like to change them. People say they're a pain to take off, but they're made of nail polish, not a sticker. Using nail polish remover it is similar to taking off maybe 4 coats. One box comes with 2 sealed packs of 8 strips each. My nails are short, and I can easily use one strip on 2 nails. So each box easily provides 2 full sets of nails for me. I can also do my toes using only 3 strips, by applying them then trimming off the edges. So if I'm careful, I can use just one pack for a full set of fingers and toes.

I've followed the directions but they don't adhere as good. Here's how I do it (I think this way is much better) -

I give myself a manicure first. The instructions suggest smoothing your nail with the smooth side of the file (included) before applying. For me, they don't stick as well that way. I use the darkest pink side of the file and lightly 'roughen' the nail, blow off any dust, then apply. They provide a little give, so if you press it on and it's not prefect, you can still lift it back up and reapply a couple times. After the 2nd time of lifting it up it's less sticky, but heat makes it adhere, so pressing it down for 5-10 seconds with another finger gets it stuck well. I use the tip of another nail to make a crease at the end of my nail, and on any sides that go onto my skin, and pull off the excess. Then I use the smooth side of the file to vigorously smooth the top of my nail, creating friction and heat to make it stick well. Done!

You have to read the directions, and be careful. If you have a steady hand, and love to do your own nails, this is for you. I love these strips.

Best Deals for Sally Hansen Salon Effects Plaidical

When using these polish strips you have to take your time. You have to give yourself a manicure first then slowly lay on the strip. And it helps to have warm hands. The strips last over ten days for me and still look wonderful, and I do alot of cleaning without gloves. I do put a clear layer of no chip nail polish so that might be why mine last longer. My only complaint is that its a hassle to take off.

These are very thin and tear if you are not careful , plus they do not last 3 days let alone the 10 that they advertise.i have used other strips that I highly recommend for half of the cost. I was very disappointed.

You should get a decent week as directed but add a layer of the clear LED cured Sally Hansen Gel from before and after to get a solid 2 weeks. Really easy to apply this product.

Cheap Pretty Feet and Hands Rough Skin Remover -- 3 oz.

Pretty Feet and Hands Rough Skin Remover -- 3 oz.
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I wish I had seen this listing before I bought the three-pack! ; )

Here's my review of this item from the other listing:

Well, I've been using this stuff for many, many years.

I can't say for sure that they have changed the formula. I do think that it worked a little better,

or perhaps a little quicker, when it was in the light blue normal bottle.

It is almost impossible to find in stores any more. We used to purchase it at WalMart, but they never

have it in stock. There's still a spot on the shelves, but never any product.

I really, really HATE this "foot" shaped bottle! The exfoliating part of the mix tends

to settle around the pink base, so be sure to shake the heck out of it EACH time you use it.

To the people who have said it was a little watery, it is probably from the stupid bottle design.

While it might be a little artistic, it is not practical, and make the liquid harder to use.

Good luck getting the last of the liquid out at the bottom of the bottle too I had to put my

little finger in the bottle to get it to come out. I even added a little bit of warm water, which used

to help remix the drier part. Not any more I had gunk and water. Shame on them for this lousy design!

We get it you wanted it to look like a foot. It is still a bad design for the lotion inside!

Meanwhile, the product itself is still wonderful. I've tried making home versions, but it never works as well.

There is a trick to this stuff. You don't just put it on like hand lotion. Use it on DRY SKIN (not wet from the

shower) and you'll get better results. Do this over a trash can the first time you try it! Anyway, continue to rub,

like you were rubbing something that had to be ground in to your skin. You'll want to continue to rub even after

you can't see the lotion any more. Keep rubbing. That's it keep going. You'll start to see little bits of white.

That's the dead skin cells. Keep rubbing they'll continue to come off. Brush them off as they come off into your

trash can. Sound gross? It's just your dead skin cells don't worry. Once you aren't getting any more junk off,

you can either try again with some more of this lotion, or if you think you're good, go wash your hands with

soap and water, dry them, and put on your normal hand lotion. Especially work this stuff in to your knuckles.

It is amazing how dry skin can get there! My hands feel like the proverbial baby bottom after a good round

of this lotion being worked in.

It is amazing how much this stuff really does work. In addition to hands, you can really use it anywhere.

I use it on my legs for dry winter skin, my face for the dry patches that have somehow started showing up where

regular skin used to reside, elbows and knees, and of course, feet and hands. It is really great.

But whoever designed this current bottle needs to be fired!

I don't want art, I want lotion. The bottle does NOT function well and adds a certain

amount of annoyance to the product.

I have used Pretty Hands & Feet for years. Recently, I have not been able to find it in any of the drugstores so I bought it on-line. The Pretty & Hands and Feet that I bought on-line did not work as well as it did in the past. I do not know if the on-line product was old or the formula has changed. I was very disappointed.

I can't remember when I've looked so forward to an Amazon product. I received it today and I was so excited to follow the recommendation of another reviewer. I put the lotion on my very dry feet and rubbed it in. After a few seconds of rubbing, dry skin was flaking off, just as people said... Or so I thought.

I wiped off the excess after rubbing away all the flakes and my skin was still as rough, there was no change at all. So I took a empty glass from which I was drinking water. I rubbed some lotion on the outside of the glass and oh what a surprise, the exact same flakes appeared after I rubbed for a few seconds. It wasnt dry skin coming off my feet, rather, it was the product itself drying and flaking away. I feel like a chump for spending money on this product, I just hate being cheated.

The directions state to use just as I have above, and then follow with a moisturizer. Of course your feet will become soft if you do this. In the meantime, I'm going to stick with the tried, tested and true Bag-Balm, Vermonts Original Moisturizing & Softening Ointment 10 Oz in the green tin. Slather this on, put on some white socks and in the morning your feet are tiny baby butts!

Maybe I've been living in the Nail Polish Dark Ages or something, but I have now seen the light! I hardly ever paint my nails because it's such a pain to get each nail to look nice. I bought this polish because it was on sale, and I tried it for the first time today. I will seriously never buy any other brand of polish! This polish made painting my nails sooo easy! The brush is wide enough to paint each nail with only one stroke (except for my thumb nails, which took two strokes each), and the polish instantly evens itself out. I was shocked by how fast it dried, as well -it literally only took a few seconds. My only complaint is that applying the top coat is a little tricky if you don't sweep it on super fast, then it picks up the previously dried nail polish and leaves your nails looking less than perfect.

I'll try to remember to update this review when I find out how long the polish lasts on my nails. :)

If you want to see what lip plumpers do, I recommend going to Sephora, grabbing one of their disposable applicators, and smearing on one of the higher-end products, rather than trying this. This product isn't terrible--it's sort of a gloss-plus--but it doesn't plump my lips noticeably, while a product like Lip Injection Extreme swells my lips up so much I look like a freaking porn actress.

I thought I'd give this stuff a shot, and I usually wear regular lip gloss for shine. I like it alot. It's a tad thicker than ordinary lip gloss, and tends to last longer on your lips. Makes my lips look a little fuller, but so does regular lip gloss. But I would buy it again, for sure!

The packaging, marketing.. false advertising at its best. Don't waste your money, and if someone gives it to you for free, don't waste the time it takes to put it on every 1/2 hour (or less), since it dissipates so quickly.. and does not do a thing. Sally Hansen's PM Lip Plumper is the same... waste. I even sent a very polite email to Sally Hansen at first, thinking it was me, but they do not care one bit and never responded. Why? They already got their money and scammed another unsuspecting customer, so they're happy.
