Most Helpful Positive Review Ocean Approved! I received this as a Free Sample for my 100% honest review. Sally Hansen nail polish Insta-Dri over succeeded my expectations! Receiving the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Flashy Fuchsia was the exact color I wanted, I absolutely love pink nail polish. My first opinion of reading the nail polish & how its supposed to dry instantly did not convince me until I tried it. I even tried to use another nail to put a dent in the nail polish but I could not, it literally dried fast! This was the first nail polish that did what it said it would. I am impressed with Sally Hansen on putting out Insta-Dri Nail Polish that literally dried Instantly! After my nails were painted, which keep in mind I had to do two coats, I wanted to put them to the test! I live in walking distance to the beach & wanted to see what the ocean water would do & how picking up shells would take a toll on my nails. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri aced the test! I mean I had a tiny chip but it wasn't no big deal! I plan on purchasing Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in the future!
Most Helpful Critical Review Dries moderately fast. Quality needs to be improved. I admit, I have not used this nail polish in over a few months. When I grabbed it out of my nail polish box, the color was severely separated and required me a good five minutes of rubbing it in my hands to get the color to look normal.
Putting it on my nails, I noticed the polish was way too runny and often overflowed onto my fingers and paper, even when I made sure to use only enough polish to cover what is needed.
Unlike the forty-five minutes it takes to dry my nails with other brands, this polish dried in roughly twenty and didn't really go through that awkward gel stage where it appears dry but is still wet.
Looking at my nails an hour later, I have noticed a lot of bubbles on my nails, and my nails really look like I just dipped them in purple paint instead of looking like a salon manicure.
Though it was fast drying, there were a lot of quality issues that I have experienced that does not make this product worth buying again.

Love love love these nail colors! They are so rich and beautiful. the brush is wide enough that you only need one coat and it spreads evenly.
I would buy it again 3
Reag from Plattsburgh NY
I painted both my fingernails and toenails and absolutely loved the color and how fast it dried. But I am a swimmer so the next day after practice most of my nail polish had chipped off.
Dries quick. Covers well. Chip resistant. 5
PKRN from Pittsburgh
I really like the convenience of this product
Definitely buying more if this brand! 5
Beth from Philadelphia
Wide brush allows coverage of the entire nail on one swipe. Brush holds polish very well so that you're not having to use two coats. Dries quickly and is durable. I will definitely be purchasing this brand in other colors! Good price for quality!
It does dry fast 5
xine from new york
I applied one light-medium coat and it dried fast about 90% in 3 minutes. I'd give it 5-7 mins tops for it to be completely dry. And just be to safe, I would not apply another coat for some colors. It looks fulfilling enough with one coat which is fantastic. Great product and beautiful colors!
love this formula 5
boulder hippie from Boulder CO
It's not too thick or gloppy but it usually only needs one coat, dries super fast. Love this polish. I want it in every color
I won't be buying this again 2
Kristi B. from Small Town, Alabama
This nail polish is so runny that I ended up with polish on me, on my bathroom counter, and on the rug just taking the wand out of the bottle. I've never had difficulty with Sally Hansen before. I won't be buying it again.
I love this polish 5
Glamapanda from Hattiesburg
I have always used Insta Dri because I'm incredibly impatient however the last couple of years I've really been buying them because I now have a little diva of a daughter. These are perfect for kids because they dry so quickly. Only con is for some reason it will not stay on kid nails if they take baths instead of showers. Really not that big a deal - my daughter is learning the importance of two coats and a top coat.
Its Kay for the price 3
ketchup from Union city, MI
Its a good middle of the road polish, you get what you pay for, stay power isn't great but if you don't mind layerjng the color isn't bad. Can I just say, the lady that blamed the nail polish for making your kid cry, no one cares, kids cry over ridiculous stuff. It's not the nail polishes fault she cried Karen.
Huge fan! 5
Carol M from Elk Grove, CA
This is my new go to nail polish for so many reasons. First, it's pretty darn affordable. Other polishes that are so expensive don't even last two days....not this one. And when this one does start to chip, it's SO easy to touch it up because it's super fast drying! There are so many polishes that even after a half hour you still have to be careful and I just am not patient like that. Definitely give this one a try!
Colors are off 3
saraskiggles from Pennsylvania
I like this nail polish itself but the colors don't match the website photos. I bought cinna snap thinking it was a deep reddish brown almost metallic or shimmer, but its just a flat dark red shade.
Its ok 2
Yo from Usa
Dries fast but you need two coats for this color. Idk if that's convenient. Its only the black color that needs this.
Great nail polish line! 5
Ariel from Chesapeake, VA
Fantastic polish. Dries fast. The teal color is quite present/bold with just one application. It pops with two coats. The matte finish feels nice and light. I've been wearing mine for a week and it hasn't chipped. It can be somewhat goopy if not applied carefully, but it's a very good line of nail polish.
Great color 3

Bright Glitter Polish! 5
Kat from Nevada
This is one of my favorite products. The glitter really sparkles and is very bold! It works!
"rainbow" is a joke 1
Agnes from Oregon
One of the most disappointing purchases ever. This "birthday cake" caught my eye in an ad! It very clearly looks like rainbow sprinkles in this picture, no? In real life, the polish is much more off-white fleshy cream color and the only visible sprinkles are a dull bluish gray, metallic peach, and gold that is so low contrast you can barely see it in the base polish color. It could not be uglier if you tried to make it ugly on purpose.
Love it 5
Brianna from MN
Truly a fast drying nail polish that goes on smooth.
Only brand of nail polish I buy 5
Nina from Michigan
These are my absolute favorite nail polishes ever, and the only brand I by now. They dry super fast, beautiful colors. I do like to do 2 coats and then a clear on top for a longer stay. love them.
Disappointing 1
Kmr from IN
Got this for my 5 year old. She was super excited about the "sprinkles". Put on three coats. Looked like nude nail polish that a child got something stuck in. No fun dots. Just not fun. She cried.
Yes I would buy again for sure!!!! 5
KJ from Roseville, CA
Product was great, easy to use and dried super fast. Put it on as I was doing my make up, by the time I was ready to get dressed my toes were completely dry.
My go to 5
Molly from Pittsburgh
Obsessed with this color I've been buying it over and over again. I'm also super inpatient and it dries so quick. The only thing I will say is it tends to get thick/need thrown out quicker than other nailpolish, which works for me because this is the only color I use, but otherwise would be a bummer
