Just a quick post right now, I wanted to show you all Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri nail polish in Cinna-Snap, a color I've had for a long time but haven't worn in awhile. Frankly, I was sure I must have posted about it before now! It's not a particularly exciting color, but it's a very nice deep burgundy-red cream, perfect for a classic red manicure through the holidays. The Insta-Dri formula isn't my favorite; it's on the thick side, and chips about a day sooner on me than most other nail polish formulas. That being said, it does have its advantages; the brush is wide, which coupled with the thick formula means that it is a great choice for a fast manicure; not as many brush strokes per nail, and it's easy to get away with one coat if you're in a pinch (although I used two here just to make sure things were nice and even). Because it's a fast drying formula, that cuts down on the time you usually have to devote to a manicure as well. I keep buying these because I like some of the colors that are released in this line, and it's nice to have a few go-to polishes that I can slap on if I only have a few minutes to devote to a fresh manicure.

Summary: It's not the greatest nail polish formula that's ever been, and while Cinna-Snap is a lovely color, it is particularly dupeable; I'm sure most of you have a version of this color in your collection already. That being said, it's a nice go-to polish when you're in a pinch and need a particularly quick manicure.
Do you guys have polishes with less than stellar formulas that you find you appreciate for their other qualities? What are your holiday plans?
I HATE wonky formulas. Especially the thick/goopy ones and the super runny ones. OH! Theyre bad! And my holiday was great! Besides the fact that my hubs accidentally threw away all of our Christmas gifts. It was fun! How about you?
ReplyDeleteOh no, how did he manage that!? That will be a funny story someday (if it isn't already at that level now)! My holiday was nice, I spent it with my boyfriend and his parents. We had brunch, sat around and talked, made dinner together, then watched Brave. Good day!
