Our verdict

A fast drying, one step white polish with built in base and top coat for quick manicures. Semi opaque coverage means one coat may look sheer on some nails.

Overview

A nightstand or desk drawer manicure kit gets a quick dry white polish that needs no separate base or top coat. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in White On Time is a shiny, semi opaque nail color made for one stroke application.

Built in base and top coat cut a manicure down to a single step, and the formula adds wear and chip resistance. The color is semi opaque, so a second coat may be needed for full white.

Who it's for

Quick touchups before work or an event suit a fast dry, all in one polish. People who want stark, full coverage white should look for an opaque formula.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Quick dry formula
  • Base and top coat built in
  • Color matched cap
Cons
  • Semi opaque white may streak
  • Smaller bottle size
  • Not a gel system

Performance notes

Fast drying solvents evaporate quickly, which shortens wait time but leaves little time to fix strokes. A semi opaque white can show streaks, so thin coats work better than one thick one. Built in top coat adds shine.
