Sally Hansen has reformulated their Insta-Dri line and they say:
- New longer lasting formula with 16 new shades
- Color-matched caps offer a modern, sleek feel and easy shade navigation
- One stroke, one coat, dries in 60 seconds
I received all 16 shades to try out, except one – Leapin’ Lilac – broke in transit (you can see some of the splatter on a couple of the bottles). I can’t speak to wear time but all of them, except one, needed 2 coats. I do like the color-matched caps, that is a really nice feature. Each one’s formula was different than the next, so I’ll talk about formula under each polish swatch.
Don’t forget to check out the three nail art looks I’ve used with the new polishes: Heart Nail Art, kiss nail art and marbled nail art.
113 White on Time, 2 coats and no top coat
This was a little uneven but not bad for a white polish.
123 Champagne Supernova, 2 coats and no top coat
This self-levelled fairly well.
163 Taupe to Go, 1 coat and no top coat
This had a smooth formula; it was more purple in real life.
203 Buff and Tumble, 2 coats and no top coat
Formula was a little runny; this is such a flattering neutral.
253 Petal to The Metal, 2 coats and no top coat
This was more sheer than expected, it was also a little runny.
263 Racing Rose, 2 coats and no top coat
This was a little runny; be careful of dragging!
313 Watermelon Wizz, 2 coats and no top coat
This applied unevenly. Super bright in person!
343 Peach Buzz, 2 coats and no top coat
This had a good formula but be careful of dragging. It is more pink in real life than orange.
363 Let’s Jam, 2 coats and no top coat
It’s beautiful but so runny! 😦
423 Just in Wine, 2 coats and no top coat
This is more sheer than expected.
443 Va-Va Violet, 2 coats and no top coat
This was runny.
453 Heather Hustle, 2 coats and no top coat
This was a little runny.
493 Midnight Drive, 2 coats and no top coat
This is more sheer than expected it would be, given how dark it is. It is also a stainer (big surprise!).
523 Thyme is Money, 2 coats and no top coat
This is a little runny but self-leveled well.
563 Silver Stallion, 2 coats and no top coat
This is streaky!

I really liked these myself. I also received a total mess because two bottles broke. I know that I’m a packaging sucker so I love that the caps correspond to the polish color.
Cleaning that mess up with one broken bottle was a pain, I can’t imagine two broken bottles!
For whatever reason, I liked cleaning them. LOL I am a weirdo. I was afraid of cutting myself because there were jagged pieces of glass in the dried up polish. Thankfully I did not.
I let mine sit for a while (ahem 3 weeks) before I cleaned them so all glass was congealed together. Lol!
I like all the different colours in the range!
I agree Lena!
