Stargaze Lily - Sally Hansen

 

Good morning loves.

The winter in Alberta seems to be never ending. To try and combat my sadness I bought this polish while dreaming of sunnier days.

Sally Hansen's polish in Stargaze Lily. This is a gorgeous shimmery lavender shade, probably one of the nicest colors I've ever used. A week ago I wrote about the Sally Hansen polish in Daycream and how the formula was might I say garbage. This one unfortunately wasn't much better. The color is so light that it takes three coats to make it opaque nor does it apply smoothly. Could it be due to the amount of coats needed? I don't know but I do know when dry there was a ton of tiny little bubbles all over the nail instead of a nice even, smooth finish that I was hoping for. I wish I could get past the formula of this because this color screams perfection to me. If anyone knows a dupe for this please, please let me know in the comments because I adore it!

What's your favorite spring color?

Daycream - Sally Hansen

 

Good afternoon everyone!

I've finally used all the nail polishes in my current collection so when I wanted to test out something new, I headed to my nearest Wal-Mart. 

I've always found Sally Hansen to be a reputable brand and price wise these were the most affordable option. Before I go any further, let me say, I've tried amazing one dollar polishes and really horrendous ten dollar polishes so I don't think price is a reflection of quality.

These retail for $2.50 and this time they let me down.

The color is aptly named "Daycream." A pale pastel pink that takes about three coats to make opaque. 

The color is simply gorgeous especially as we transition into Spring. The formula on the other hand leaves something to be desired. I let these dry for at least an hour and one accidental rub over the nail it was smudged and caked up in different areas. Maybe it was because I didn't apply a top coat but honestly I've never had anything on my nails that was so easily moved after drying that long.

 I have another polish from this range to try out and my hopes aren't high. Updates to follow.

What's your favorite Spring time color?

Sally Hansen - Black Out {hard as xtreme wear}

                                 

The other day I began to do my nails and then realized there was not enough in the bottle for both hands! So off I went to the drugstore and in small town Alberta it seems black is a hard to find color, haha.

The only non sparkly black I could find was Sally Hansens hard as xtreme nail wear in "black out."

First thing I love about it it's only $3.49 CAD and it's decent quality, I've bought more expensive polishes that have chipped immediately after applying.

It's been three days and there is only minimal chipping at the tips. I did have to use two coats though which is a little frustrating when I buy black polish of like the pigmentation to be much better. The formula is nice, smooth and easy to use. 

A great cheap polish for people on a budget.

Have you tried any of the Sally Hansen {hard as xtreme} nail polishes?
