Deep mauve color

Purchased this color hoping for a mauve, despite it being named espresso. Was not disappointed! The color is rich, one coat could cover, and it is a deep mauve, not brown. Photos of color were accurate. Drying time was fairly quick (better than OPI or Essie, imo), only one nail smudged. Nail polish is definitely pricier than it used to be, but I’m happy with this line. Photos show color in natural light and under artificial bathroom lights.

haven't noticed smearing

honestly feel like this is better than opi top coat. i usually use a gel top coat but sometimes i want something quicker and i like to look for top coats that dont smear. i haven't noticed any smearing with this top coat and i have had smearing with the opi one in the past so...take that as you will

This is the best nail polish I have ever used. Touch up on the tips is all I've ever had to do and that is because I don't wear rubber gloves when doing a few dishes. It has had a couple of price increases in the last few years, but still less than getting a manicure.

I LIKE THIS NEUTRAL COLOR. I PREFER QUICK DRY ASPECT. I LIKE THE QUALITY. BEING OLD SCHOOL I WOULD NEVER JUST PUT ONE COAT. I ALSO USE A BASE COAT AND TOP COAT. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING COLORS BUT I ENJOY UNDERSTATED TONES NOT THE BRIGHT FUN COLORS. GREAT VARIETY FOR EVERYONE TO CHOOSE WHAT THEY LIKE AND EXPERIMENT PRICED OK BECAUSE I HATE WAITING AND SAVES ME TIME.I PREFER TO DO MY OWN MANICURE TO SAVE $$$$ AND VALUABLE TIME.

Perfect. Dries quickly. Great shade

I love that this dries so quickly. It smooths on perfectly . Great consistency. Perfect color. If you take too long painting your nails it can get a little dry and start to clump so make sure you're not taking too long since this is a fast drying polish.

Dries quickly. Looks professional.

This polish applies easily and is thicker than other polishes. Smooth appearance. Removes easily. Have this brand is several colors. Friends have asked where I get my manicures. They are surprised when I tell them I do my own sometimes. Nice substitute when you are unable to get a professional manicure.

shooting star color.

i used a white polish for the base then a holographic fine glitter and topped it with this sally hansen "shooting star" color. i used about 6 coats and still not much coverage. it dried quick but it clumped up so bad before i finished one hand. i used most of the bottle just trying to get decent coverage. i put a holographic fine glitter color on after 2 or 3 coats of the sally hansen to give it more coverage and make it look better then topped it with a few more coats of the sally hansen shooting star color. im very unhappy with the color. it dries quick, but too quick and got clumpy so fast. the glitter flakes dont stay on well and had to basically dab the color on to get the glitter part to show. ive used so many different sally hansen insta-dry colors before and ive been very happy in the past, this color is not a good color coverage in any way. id return it if i didnt use most the bottle on one paint job. overall bummed and disappointed.

Beware does not ship

Item never shipped. I ordered it with shoes and my account says it shipped but it never did. I want a refund for the nail polish. I did receive my shoes.
