Sally Hansen Insta-Dri ~ 130 Pink Fast & 160 Quick Jeanius

Pink and dark blue foil

I was thrilled to find Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes in New York! I’ve got a selection of them by now, and new additions are always welcome. I also looked for “Whirlwind White”, but unfortunately I didn’t find it. Whirlwind white is my favourite white for stamping.

Anyway – I bought four Insta-Dris, and they all have a foil finish.

Application is a breeze! No problems to report at all. And the two I’m going to show you today are one coaters! Drying time is good, although not actually “instant” as the name suggests. I applied two coats to see if it made any difference, but it didn’t. Perhaps there’s another meaning for the word “instant” that I’m not aware of. But anyway, no biggie...

Here, sweet ladies, is two coats of Pink Fast and Quick Jeanius, no topcoat:

The pink is more foil than the blue. Check out the bottle I’m holding! Doesn’t it suggest more foil than I actually got on my nails? I think so!

I want to show you why I like my Insta-Dris so much. They stamp!

I used a stamping plate from Apipila called “D”. It’s a must have plate for cat lovers for sure. Even the plate is cat-head shaped, lol! Here’s what the plate looks like:

Isn’t that just adorable! I seriously love it! ♥

Anyway, back to the stamping. I stamped with the opposite colours, sealed it up with a layer of Poshé topcoat, and here’s my final mani:

Here’s a shot from another angle, with less reflections of light:

That’s pretty good for polishes that aren’t specifically produced as stamping polishes, isn’t it? Do you understand now why I really like my Insta-Dris. I can’t wait to show you the two others!
