The brush applicator on this is a fabulous size. It's larger than most nail polishes, so one swipe can add varnish to the whole nail. The color isn't bad, it's a very light, natural color. If you like nudes then this will be perfect for you. I find that this nail polish has gotten a bit thick and goopy, so it doesn't apply as well as it did the first time, when I opened it. The consistency to me is much thicker than other Sally Hansen nail polishes. For me this works better on my toenails than on my fingernails. I don't think I will try the 'Complete Salon Manicure' ones again. I definitely prefer the 'Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color' range.
