### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Opaque, easy to layer, dries quickly
*by E***K on January 6, 2026*

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri is my favorite polish for these reasons: it really does dry quickly, the colors are opaque, and I can easily paint over chipped nails and get away with it on a whim. Alternate Reali-tea, cinna snap, and Go Garnet are some of my favorites from the brand. Some of the specialty colors like the peep line have a different texture than the original and I can’t necessarily recommend those ones but you can’t go wrong with their original line!
