    I like this one. I have it in Yellow Kitty and Thinking of Blue. Not sure how fast it dries because I usually get extremely involved in my cell phone games after applying which occupies me for about an hour... On a mani it lasts for about 2-3 days but by the end of 2nd/3rd day it starts getting scratches and chips so I have to reapply... but I don't mind since I like to switch it up. On a pedi, so far it's been 4 days and I am noticing some small chips so not too great either... However, I like the colours and in 2 coats it does give great opaque finish - so I don't mind the tradeoff.

    Love this polish. It dries quickly (almost as fast as the insta-dri also by Sally Hansen) and lasts really long. The metallic shades last up to 4-5 days without adding any top coat. It has a base and top coat built in so i find i don't need to use either and it doesn't stain my nails as much as other polishes do

    I have been thinking about purchasing this product because the shade Gray by Gray is so delish. It's a slate gray/blue colour and it's really nice and I don't currently have a polish of this shade in my collection. My spouse sent me to Shoppers to pick up some advil and I added this to the basket.

    I found the price to be a little on the high side, especially for a SH polish. It regulars for 8.99CDN, I got mine for 2 bucks off. I usually don't spend that much on a non-salon product but I really wanted the shade so I went for it. I'm actually glad that I did.

    The packaging is good, a squarish bottle with a rubberized rim around the bottom of the brush handle. I thought it was a nice touch. I must say that I wish that SH would change their logo/printing as it always comes off as dated. It seems like a small thing, and it is but I just think that if they redesigned their fonts it would add to the percieved quality of the product. I don't know - just a suggestion.

    The brush is just like the brush for their Insta-Dry formula, it's a wide, thick brush that is flat and not round. Because I've had some practice with I'm pretty good with application. I will say that it takes some getting used to it. When I first tried the new brush I didn't care for it but it's just a different style of application and definitely cuts down on streaking. The formula goes on smooth and nicely pigmented. Two coats does it for a nice opaque finish. It dried in nice time, not super fast, but decently quick. I used Essie To Dry For as my topcoat which expedited the drying process. I used OPI Start to Finish as my basecoat.

    As for the wear of this polish I'm going to have to update in a couple of days as I just applied it today and haven't had a chance to see how long it wears.

    I love this shade, and I'm glad that it's part of my arsenal of polish (which I may add is getting quite large). So far so good. I would buy this product again but I did find it a little pricey for a SH polish. Look for update on wear.

    I am posting a swatch that doesn't belong to me. It's from Lextard who has lovely nails and great reviews.
