Sally HansenGem Crush Nail Polish, Bling-Tastic, 0.33 Fluid Ounce

The brush on this totally fell apart the first use. Every time I put it back in the bottle, more bristles fell off. I couldn’t even finish one application. Never had this issue with store bought. From now on I’ll just get it from CVS, which is cheaper anyway. It’s a shame because the color is super cute.

I often get bored when painting my nails and am impatient waiting for them to dry. This polish dries SO FAST. I paint both hands and by the time I’m on the last nail, the first one is dry for a second coat, and I mean completely dry. It doesn’t even get imprints of anything.I also love the color. Normally I would wear a matte black, but that can be pretty harsh. The “Greased Lightning” is a nice dark grey. In the photo I do have a matte topcoat on, so the polish is normally shinier, but it’s not too shiny.The bottle is small, but that’s better in my opinion since with most larger polishes I do not use before they dry up or expire, so I feel that I get my money’s worth with this and am not wasteful. The polish lasts as long as other polishes do for me before chipping.

I love Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish because I am impatient about letting my nails dry. When I try other polishes, I always come back to this one.An added bonus of buying it on Amazon is that it costs less than at most stores, and you can get a "subscription" to the product, timed to when you will need your next bottle.Because the polish is quick-drying, it does dry out and get a little goopy faster than some other polishes. However, this is not much of a deterrent for me because of the convenience, price, and color (Expresso) of the product.The Expresso color is actually the only Insta-Dri color with which I am completely satisfied. It is a mauve-ish, light burgundy-ish, purple-ish, red-ish, color with hints of gray and brown-Kind of a neutral accent. It's not as bright as a red or as light as a nude, but it still seems classic and is very wearable. I've received several compliments. I also like the Cinnasnap color, but it is a little too dark, and Petal Pusher is nice, but it's difficult to get it on evenly because it is so light.The polish can last from a few days to over a week. I recommend using two coats with a topcoat. Each thin coat takes about 1-2 minutes to dry. If you do two coats plus a topcoat, it will probably take about 10-15 minutes.

The consistency of the polish is perfect. PROS: While I usually prefer two coats of polish, you can get away with one. The applicator brush is flat as opposed to round, which helps the polish go on better and more evenly. The Insta-Dry is exactly what it says. The ability to give myself a manicure on-the-fly is great. CONS: The color of the Jade Jump is not exactly as it appears online. Online appears more vibrant, neon-like, almost shimmery. In reality, no shimmer, more like a medium green pastel. Additionally, the polish chips pretty easily. I rarely get more than a few days out of an application. Overall, it’s a pretty good value if you’re not super finicky.

I have extremely thin, soft nails. It's a genetic thing. This is the first polish I've known in 50 years that looks good for a whole week. It even looks great after touch ups. Be sure to use the top coat with it. Amazing.

The paint from the tip to mid nail chipped within the first two days! So upsetting especially since spending extra time for two coats. Highly doubt this is the real deal since the actual Sally Hansen ($13 a bottle) that’s sold in stores does not chip until after a week (even then, it’s minimally chopped). Very disappointed with this.

I love the particular color. the fast dry is great if you dont' have time to sit and let nails dry. I use this product frequenly. Sally Hansen products are well worth the money.

Some of the polish had leaked out of the bottle and into the bubble wrap.Contacted the seller and I received a new bottle!

Absolutely love the sparkle! Worn over a light blue Orly varnish gives a great depth of colour with fantastic sparkle. As with any glitter polish it takes some getting off but worth it. Highly recommend.

Best sparkly bling and shiny colour ever if you are looking for bling

Great

chipped within hours , peeled off even with a top coat.. then alot of nail varnish remover to get rid of remaining polish on nails. not good

Great nail varnish
