As a polish fanatic I have many vices. One of those is for the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri line of polishes. Anytime a new collection comes out I have to have them. I use them almost exclusively for stamping and nail art as well as when I need a polish to wear and am short on time. I started my love affair with them after I would use my hour long lunches from work to drive over to my nearest CVS or Walmart and buy a polish then paint my nails in my car. I did this many times and started to collect some really cool shades. After I discovered stamping I went crazy and bought a ton of them. The majority of them would be opaque in one coat and dry very quickly. Not all the polishes in the Insta-Dri line are so opaque, one such polish was a shifting polish called Grape Going!.
Today while browsing my local Walmart I spotted a purple shade of polish that I hadn't seen before. It was similar to Orchid Express which was a LE. I grabbed it and immediately did a double take. The label said 410 Grape Going! but this was a super purple shade not the blue/purple flash sheer polish I knew I had in my stash. I dug back behind the other two bottles in the display case to find that exact bottle I recalled.

Both bottles were labeled the exact same. Product number 410 (polish on my nails is OPI I Theodora You) |

Pointer and ring fingers are the new bottles. Middle and pinkie are old. I did my thumb in Orchid Express just for color comparison. The new Grape Going! is darker but very similar. |

L to R Grape Going! new, Grape Going! old and Orchid Express. |
As you can see it looks like they have switched to a new more opaque polish. There is nothing remotely similar in these polishes save for the name and the fact they are purple. I wish they had just gave the new one a different name. I am not sure if they are discontinuing the old one so get it while you still can. I will be using the new one for stamping for sure. It's so pretty.
