Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Matte Collection Swatches and Review

The Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Matte Collection has been out a while and is luckily permanent.  The polishes come in eight shades and work wonderfully in their matte states, as well as with top coat, so I show them both ways. Let's have a look!

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Matte 011 Smokey Silver is a cool-toned, dark silver matte shimmer. I wore it in three thin coats and it dried quickly. I recommend thin coats to minimize bubbling.

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Matte 015 Burnished Wine is a matte wine shimmer with blue-to-red multichrome shimmer, blue shimmer and holo microflakes.

I also received a couple nail care products to try. The Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Vitamin Strength Serum is intended to hydrate and strengthen nails and cuticles. I personally did not see much of a difference, but if someone doesn't normally use any hand products it may provide additional moisture.

The fast absorbing formula with Hydrolyzed Proteins helps resist against damage and breaking. Pink microcapsules are enriched with Vitamins A, C & E for energizing benefits. Lightly scented with fresh Geranium, the lightweight, non-sticky texture will leave nails feeling smooth and silky.
Use daily for healthier and stronger nails

Sally Hansen No More Stains Spray-On Base Coat is a base coat that can be sprayed, rather than painted, on. I was a bit skeptical about mess at first, but the excess washes off easily once your nails are dry. This is not a traditional, lacquer-type base coat, but only provides a thin coating with no odor.

The first ever spray-on base coat with nourishing actives helps stand up to the richest of colors. Infused with White Tea extract, the formula is non-sticky and streak-free. Wear vivid nail color without stains with a quick and easy solution!

Ingredients: ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, ACRYLATES/OCTYLACRYLAMIDE COPOLYMER, DISILOXANE, AQUA/WATER/EAU, GLYCERIN, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, POLYSORBATE 20, PHENOXYETHANOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, POTASSIUM SORBATE, HEXYLENE GLYCOL

That wraps up the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Matte Collection! I love the variety in this collection plus the subtle shifts, and in one color, even holo! I wish Sally Hansen would do more holo microflake polishes.  Burnished Wine was definitely my pick of the collection, but there were a lot of ones I enjoyed wearing. Do you have one you like best?
