Sally Hansen - Complete Salon Manicure Review

So I did it again I went into Boots and "took advantage" of their 3 for 2 offers and picked up the new Sally Hansen complete salon manicure, in two shades and the insta-dry top coat. 

The complete salon manicure range offers - base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, colour, top coat, chip-resistant, and a gel shine! BLIMEY!!

I saw these offerings in one of my glossy magazines and wanted to know what all the fuss was about.  

I picked up two shades, 542 Cherry Up and 540 Frutti Petutie.

You can view the full range from  Boots 'Here'

Boots says - 

"Patented Micro-Encapsulated time-release Technology infuses nails with advanced wear, care & shine ingredients Chip resistant, noticeably smooth and brilliantly shiny for up to 10 days Exclusive double brush covers the entire nail surface in one even stroke"

Now I wouldn't say that the formula lasts 10 days, it's just not durable enough either on its own or with the insta-dry top coat on top, but nevertheless the colours are amazingly glossy and pigmented and I have had so many comments on both shades.

I'm wearing Cherry Up in the picture above

I find the Insta-dry top coat is quick at drying on my polish but within about 3 days the colour starts to chip.

The brushes on the complete salon manicure polishes is thick and a pleasure to use, within 1 stroke you have practically covered the whole of the nail, its a very efficient way of painting on colour.  The first coat of colour goes on quite opaque and the second coat really give you a true likeness to the bottle.

Have you tried anything from the Sally Hansen complete salon manicure range before?  I'm definitely going to be buying more.
