Sally Hansen Insta-Dri is one of Sally Hansen’s best selling lines.
It’s advertised as a single step, one bottle manicure. No base or top coat needed, plus it dries in less than 60 seconds per coat.
They’ve also just redesigned the formula - it now has 33% longer wear time and greater chip resistance compared to the old formula.
When a company is advertising faster manicures with fewer steps, it’s worth listening to. When you make your nail routine easier and better, you have less frustration in your life plus more time to spend on other passions.
Highlights of the Insta-Dri formula are:
It delivers high-gloss shine. You really don’t need a top coat.
It's speedy. Your manicure is done, including touch ups, in minutes.
The color range. Insta-Dri formulas include creams and many special effect finishes, with new seasonal releases coming out all the time.
Let’s look at 4 Insta-Dri swatches.
All are shown in 2 coats without a base or top coat.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri That’s A-blazing!
That’s A-blazing! is a bold cherry red with an impressive wear time.
All in all, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri is an excellent option for an “out the door” manicure. If you need to be somewhere quickly and need your nails done, this is a line to consider.
By the time it takes to paint all ten fingers, the first finger is dry and you can begin a second coat of color with no down time.
That’s if you need a second coat of color; some Insta-Dris are one coaters, like the new shade Silk is… from the Insta-Dri Luxe Finish line.
