Last night my friend and I caught up on girl-talk while we got mani's and pedi's. As I watched the nail tech remove the bright colors from my toes, I felt a pang in my heart. I painted my toenails on my last visit to my mom's house in a very cold part of Indiana. On a particularly gray day, a trip to CVS with my mom produced the first color from Sally Hansen's new line of amazing Insta-Dri nail color in Lickety-Split Lime Creme. I promptly began applying this liquid amusement when we got home. It was an instant mood lift. The next day, my sister and I, again, pushed our way through the CVS doors. After a thorough inspection of every lip gloss color, I felt a magnetic pull back to the bright new colors of Sally Hansen! Brisk Blue Creme dazzled my rods and cones with delight! I didn't have the heart to remove the funky lime when I got home, so, I layered a stripe of blue over it just to test out the color. I found myself making a zebra pattern over the green and I've admired my creation for the past THREE weeks! No chipping like most "insta" dry nailpolish does! And, yes, it really did dry instantly! And, yes again, it really did cover with one coat! And, you betcha, the brush rocks! Until now, I was strictly Essie (which I still heart!). I'm headed to the drug store on my lunch break....it's raining in L.A. and I need an insta-pick-me-up!
