I Love My......Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat

 I think that Sally Hansen's 

Insta-Dri top coat is one of the best, yet one of the most over-looked top coats available on the market today.

I, myself am guilty  for walking by this little gem on several occasions.

But, a few months back, fellow YouTuber Mary, aka Getting Nailed

did a test of several different top coats.

She tested the speed of dryness 

durability, and most importantly, the smudge proof test.

Don't know what I' referring to?

Let me give you an example.

Have you ever painted a nail design, 

and then wanting to seal in your hard work, you applied a top coat only to have it smear your work?

Oh yes, we've all been there.

With Mary's testing, she proved that Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri not only dried just as fast as some other main top coats such as Seche Ultra V & OPI Top Coat, but each and every application was smear-free.

And ever since then, it has become a staple in my daily nail life!

I still have a few other top coats lingering around, and if I'm applying just a single wash of color, but for all the designs I do, THIS

is the only top coat I'll ever use!

What's your favorite top coat?

Have you tried Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri top coat before?

Weekend Mani

I've really been itching to do some 

designs playing with variations of Green,

and while playing around I did this gradient

look, which is the same as my design that I did ages ago on YouTube, 

in Orange & Yellow. 

It is also available on my shop.

I liked it so much, I decided it had to be my next weekend mani!

I'll definitely be playing around more with these colors,

I'm really loving them!
