This €6.99 one-coat polish is the secret to painting your own toenails like a pro

By Katie Mythen-Lynch March 28, 2021March 25, 2021

We’ve all had to embrace the DIY life during the pandemic.

And while we’ll be continuing with many at-home treatments, from eyebrow tinting to manicures, after the lockdown eventually ends, there is one beauty job we could never quite get the hang of.

If any attempt at painting your own toenails leaves you with an unwanted modern art installation on your feet, help is at hand; Sally Hansen Insta-Dri requires just a single step so all you need to do is swipe it on once and stay still for 60 seconds.

The thing about painting your own toenails is that firstly you need to be a gymnast to get down there. Secondly, when you do reach them, it’s tricky to stay still long enough for a second or third coat to dry.

The result? Smudges. And lots of them.

Formulated with a base and top coat for extended wear and full-coverage, just one application of Insta-Dri will give you bold, even colour and a streak-free shine.

It comes in 28 fresh shades, last two weeks without chipping and swipes off with your usual polish remover. Plus it’s only €6.99 a bottle so you can pick up a selection of spring colours in supermarkets and pharmacies.
