Unsung Heroes: Sally Hansen Natural Shine
Unsung Heroes is a place to discuss products that may miss out on glamorous promotions, but deliver on their promises.
We’ve all been there: No chance to get to the manicurist, yet a swipe of remover is leaving the nails dull and drab. You’ve got minutes to get to your appointment/interview/wedding and the last thing you need is ragged hands. What miracle, save a 10 minute buffing and oil, will do the trick?
Sally Hansen Natural Shine Instant Nail Finish
This product brushes on like any polish, but lacks the heavy and super shiny finish of a top coat. It is available in clear and light tint. It dries almost instantly to a smooth, soft shine, so even if neglect is not your excuse, you can wear a very natural look with little effort. It may even work for the metrosexual who likes to keep his digits well groomed.
Sally Hansen Natural Shine Instant Nail Finish claims to be free of “toluene, DBP (dibutyl phthalate) and formaldehyde” (if you read the print it is actually “added” formaldehyde), and shows the company is keeping up with the times and avoiding known toxins. It wears off evenly, avoiding the chipped look even clear topcoat can cause. It does require nail polish remover for complete removal.
I discovered this gem at Walgreens, and the convenience and ease of use is a bargain under $5. You’ll never worry about your nails again. Go forth and go natural!
