Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Nail Polish in Purple Bolt Review

I love this nail color. Well, the color is awesome, a dark metallic purple. I can leave it on for weeks (oops) and it does not stain my nail bed. Awesome. I get great coverage with even just one coat - although that usually chips much faster (a few days) than two coats on my toes, which will hold up for maybe 2 good weeks. This polish actually does dry pretty quickly. It comes with a larger than usual brush, making pedis go faster. It's fast enough for a mom with a baby to sneak in a coat while the baby naps, along with a shower! That's pretty good. My only gripe is that, and this is the second bottle of this type with this problem - the brush doesn't seem to be cut correctly on my bottle. I assume that it's not meant to be this way - there is a bunch of bristles that are shorter than the rest. And they are not graduated, they seem stepped. It makes application fussy, depending up on the angle of polish application. My only downside. But, considering this is the only polish that I'm able to actually get on and not smudge, even though I have a 10 month old baby in the home to care for, that's pretty good. This is my go to polish and color. My other Insta-dry is the only other color I've been able to apply since the baby's been born. Love this formulation.
