Hello lovely readers. Today I have the first part of my review of the Sally Hansen + Crayola collaboration collection.
This Crayola + Sally Hansen collection from the Insta-Dri line recently hit stores and features
12 glossy cremes inspired by Crayola classic colors like Carnation Pink and
Scarlet Red. The colors are all vibrant and faithful to the inspirations.
The limited edition caps feature the classic Crayola wavy lines. Everything else, including the classic bottle shape and rounded tip brush remain the same.
Some of the cremes (i.e. white, yellow, and orange) were a bit streaky and required 2 coats for self-leveling. Most cremes, however, had a fantastic formula. The formula is on the thicker side and covered beautifully with just one easy coat. These are highly pigmented, so I do recommend using a good base coat and applying careful to avoid staining your cuticles.
All swatches show two coats plus glossy top coat. Below are polishes 501-507.
501 Wild Strawberry
This red creme is a one-coat perfection.

504 Carnation Pink
This pretty pink shade nailed its Crayola inspiration, and the formula covered nicely in two coats.

This bright yellow creme was a bit streaky, but self-leveled after the second coat.

I purchased this collection at Meijer and it's now starting to become available at Target. The polishes retail for around $4.00 US.
Check back this space for the second half of the collection!
I'm loving this collection - vibrant fun colors! I love the brushes in these insta-dri bottles too! Great review!
ReplyDeleteGreat swatches! I just picked these up at Target but haven't tried them yet. The bottles are so cute!
ReplyDeletewow, Walgreens is selling them for almost six bucks each, so I only got two. I hear target is more around the $4 range
