I am normally an OPI Nail Lacquer fan, who decided to try Sally Hansen Insta-Dri nail color. The Insta-Dri polish started chipping overnight and continued until I removed it on day 3.

I love this a lot. Gets dry super quick and helps my nail polish stay longer. Very shiny and makes polish look shinier than ever. I never have chips with on top of it.

I am normally an OPI Nail Lacquer fan, who decided to try Sally Hansen Insta-Dri nail color. The Insta-Dri polish started chipping overnight and continued until I removed it on day 3. Disappointed, I found a 2-year-old bottle of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails #470 Unbreakable Heart and a bottle of Ultimate Shield Base & Top Coat. They went on smoothly and are holding on day 2. I don't expect them to last as long as a salon manicure, but I will extend the life of my polish with an additional topcoat as needed. These tried-and-true polishes are strong after two years, still liquid and not clumpy even after so long. This proves to me that Sally Hansen Hard as Nails is my most reliable go-to polish.

I recently tried a new base and top coat, and I have to say, I'm impressed. The drying time is quite fast, which is a huge plus when you're in a hurry. The shine it gives is fantastic, leaving a glossy finish that really makes your nails pop. In terms of durability, these coats are top-notch; my manicure lasted much longer than usual. The application process is super easy, with a smooth brush that ensures even coverage. Plus, the chip-resistant formula means fewer touch-ups, which is always a win. Overall, these base and top coats are a great addition to any nail care routine.
