Seriously good nail polish!

I keep my toenails painted at least 95% of the time, and for several years I went for the "quick-dry" kinds so I wouldn't be bothered by having the self-pedicure process take more than 5 minutes. Well, I've learned that although the quick-dry kinds deliver on their promise, they don't hold up very well. At least not for me. So, I was ready to try something new. At Walgreens a couple weeks ago a sparkling display caught my eye, and, always the impulse buyer wowed by pretty end caps, I picked up one of these little beauties: Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No Chip Nail Color. The color I selected is #45, "Fuchsia Bling Bling." Yes, that's what it's called. The name's a little 2002-ish and the color's not the least bit sparkly or bling-like, but if you like bright dark-pink on your toes, this is the shade for you (not pictured). I've had it on for a couple weeks now and haven't had ANY chipping or peeling. Also, it didn't take long to dry between coats and was easy to apply in a professional-looking manner. For the self-pedicurist, I recommend it!

I finally figured that same thing out about the quick dry nail polish not lasting long once it is on. It isn't like regular nail polish takes SOOO long to dry, especially when you buy the good stuff and it only takes one coat. Almost ALL of my quick dry colors need 2 coats. I don't have any Sally Hansen though. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the great polish tip. I need all the help I can get! When I got a pedicure 2 weeks ago the girl asked "Has it been a long time since you got a pedicure?" "Yes", I responded. "I can tell!" she said. "Keep it up," I said to myself, "and it may take me two more years to come in again" So I'll give your product a try!
