sheer matte and pale color unless you put on coats [SEP] not sure what this formula is supposed to be it goes on very sheer has a light purple color certainly not neon it dries very quickly but is matte the color in the bottle is accurate but only when you put on coats and then use a topcoat to get a shine you can see the difference in the sheen one is without a topcoat and is matte the second pix is with the sally hansen insta dri in clearly quickthis is horrible not the usual sally hansen quality at all this was a loss
