Matte Insta-Dris? Yep! In addition to the Limited Edition Summer 2014 I Heart Nail Art Liquid Mani-a Color Foils (aka: Chromes), Salon Effects nail strips and the new Color Frenzy Glitters, we've also got a brand new collection of all-matte Insta-Dris! Many thanks to reader Hannah for this sighting. Hannah spotted this display at an independent drugstore in the Midwest and was nice enough to share this pic with us:

The pink one looks like it has shimmer in the bottle, but it is undetectable on the nail. The other three I purchased don't appear to have any shimmer whatsoever.

The formulas seem a bit thick, but they're doable. I did two coats of each, dry time is almost true to the name, and I honestly can't pick a favorite.
And it's also the typical flat brush that the Sally Hansen line has, which I think makes application a cinch.

Have you spotted these matte Insta-Dris in your area yet? Thoughts? I don't think we've ever seen mattes in the Insta-Dri line before, right?
Thanks so much, Chrissy and Hannah, for the great sighting and pics!
I must have these!!! I have never seen a matte Insta-dri and I have over 50 of them. That's 2 of my favorite things together!
ReplyDeleteJust saw these today at a local Walgreens and picked up the white and mint. Hope they are good!

ReplyDeleteCan you tell if they are Creme or have some hidden shimmer?
DeleteI just emailed you pictures of the bottles, the names, closeups of the bottles, a swatch on each nail, and a mini review-ish.
ReplyDeleteOMG thank you!! I just checked my in-box and I'm not seeing anything yet... maybe it's still en route! :)
DeleteI had just sent it, the pictures arw a bit large, so it may still be sending. I had to send a second email, because I couldn't fit thay last picture haha. Forgot to mention, though, I only purchased four of them. I think I need to go back for the mint green one! I wasn't feeling the white, though, haha
DeleteI have to head out for a bit, but my outbox on my phone says it's still sending. If it's in limbo when I get home, I'll upload the images to my computer and try again from there.
DeleteDid you ever get it? It bounced them back to me, and I resent them. :/
DeleteI received two emails of bottle shots and swatches of FOUR of the shades from a reader last night, but I don't know if that was you (the name on the email doesn't match your screen name)! If you sent pics/swatches of four shades, then YES, I got them and I'm doing a post today! Thank you so much!
DeleteBut if that wasn't you, then I still didn't get them! I'm so sorry if you're having trouble getting them to me--I will post your pics whenever they come through! :)
I would love to see swatches and a review.I've not had great results with the insta dri polishes,but I would love me some matte polish.
ReplyDeleteMATTE MINT *drools everywhere*
ReplyDeleteI got the mint and had a REALLY hard time getting a smooth even coat. I usually LOVE Insta-dri for the quick drying formula and I usually only have to use one coat, but with the matte, it made for a really gloppy messy look. I went over several nails more than twice trying to get it even, but they never looked totally smooth. Maybe the secret is to try to do really thin coats. I liked the polish and the look on the nails I could get to work, and it did dry fast, but maybe too fast...
