Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Lacquer – Violet Voom

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Lacquer – Violet Voom

Hi everybody!

A couple months back, I was in the phase where I was totally obsessed with lipsticks. Now the obsession has slightly shifted over to nail paints and matte eye liners. So today I’m reviewing a nail paint for you all. It’s Sally Hansen insta-dri nail lacquer in the shade ‘violet voom’ which is a beautiful bluish-violet nail color. I picked up this nail paint solely because of the texture and the opacity, which I have been immensely impressed with ever since I got my first Sally Hansen nail paint, about 2 years back. Read on to find out more about it.

Product description: Nail color covers in just one coat, brilliantly. The Perfectionist Brush™ contours to any nail, so color always glides on precisely, quickly, flawlessly. And, the exclusive Flexiglass Complex combines beautiful, brilliant shine and super-strong wear. So simple, so Sally.

My views on Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Lacquer – Violet Voom

Packaging: Unlike the previous Sally Hansen nail paint I reviewed from the the Maximum Growth Range, the Insta-dri nail paints have a rather stylish packaging with the semi-cylindrical brush handle/ triangular bottle. The back of the bottle has all the necessary details mentioned including the name of the shade. The bottle is actually quite sturdy and unbreakable (trust me on this one, I’ve dropped it on the floor at least ten times unintentionally. LOL). And like I mentioned earlier too, the brush is THE best part. it’s a flat brush with super smooth bristles and the brush is slightly curved at the edges which makes the application all the more easy and hassle-free.

Shade and texture: the shade ‘Violet voom’ is a bluish-violet which has extremely minute blue shimmer particles that are visible only in broad daylight but these shimmers give the nail paint a beautiful sheen. This shade makes my hands look bright and fair and makes my fingers appear slightly less chubby. Coming to the texture- it’s probably one of the best textured nail paints I own. It’s super smooth and not at all runny/ sloppy like the previous one I reviewed.

Color payoff: in the swatch I have applied two coats of the nail paint but otherwise, I just apply a single coat and the nail paint is good for at least 5-6 days. I actually love such nail paints which don’t require 3-4 coats to stay in place because then those ones just end up making the nails feel slightly heavier. Also, another great thing about it is that it literally dries in less than a minute (hence the name- Insta dri).

Longevity– It easily stays on my nails for 4-5 days without chipping, although I did notice that the color started fading a little after the third day.
