Sally Hansen Colour Therapy Nail Polish Review

I loved testing out the Sally Hansen Colour Therapy Nail Polish colours which I was sent, and was overall very impressed with these polishes!

Mud Mask is a gorgeous colour, a very muted brown which would be great if you're wanting something more professional/corporate/basic. Super chic.

Pampered in Pink, as the name suggests, is much more fun and out-there — a bright, bold, hot pink, total Elle Woods colour.

Both of these colours applied super easily and evenly, largely thanks to the helpful, flat-shaped brush, and dried surprisingly fast. In terms of wear they lasted an average amount of time — maybe three days before I noticed slight chipping going on? Overall very happy with these and would buy again!

Beauty Review sent me two Sally Hansen Color Therapy polishes "Primrose & Proper", a pretty pink and "Teal Good", the top coat and matching Cuticle Oil, and as I wear gel polish on my fingernails, I tested these traditional polishes on my toes.

In order to really test them out, I deliberately dehydrated my toe nails prior to receiving the Sally Hansen polishes, to the point where they started getting white dehydration marks (which do go away if cuticle oil is applied to the nail on a daily basis, for at least a week). When my parcel from BR arrived, I applied two coats of Sally Hansen Color Therapy in “Primrose & Proper”, with a nail art design stamped onto the big toe in Sally Hansen Color Therapy in “Teal Good” (these polishes are pigmented and thick enough to stamp well - see pic on Photo Wall).

The wide, flat brush made it easy to paint my little toes with one swipe of the brush, while my big toes only needed two swipes per coat, and the formula is quick drying, so by the time I'd done the first coat, I was able to go straight back to the first toe and start painting the second coat. No sitting around waiting for polish to dry.

One thing I don't like about the packaging is that the bottles have very square edges at the base. This makes it really uncomfortable to roll the bottles in the palms of my hands prior to use. I don't like to shake my nail polish and prefer to gently roll the bottles in the palms of my hands, to prevent air bubbles being trapped in the liquid. Obviously, this is something that the Sally Hansen packaging designers didn't really think about.

I wanted a good comparison between using the polish with cuticle oil and without cuticle oil. To do this, I only used Sally Hansen's Color Therapy Cuticle Oil on the toes on my left foot, as that was the one with the worst dehydration damage. I wanted to see what the oils in the polish would do on their own (on my right foot), without the added help of daily cuticle oil.

Well, four days after I'd first applied the polish, I noticed a chip in the middle of the big toe of my right foot (no cuticle oil applied to this foot). The polish on my left foot, where I'd been applying cuticle oil daily, still looked as good as it did on day one! I removed the Sally Hansen nail polish after 8 days, and my toe nails no longer had signs of dehydration (the white marks were gone).

Over a year ago I tried jamberrys. Love the concept but just couldn't get them to stay on. After I gave up my nails were weak, always peeling and ripping off. I tried a few products to heal my nails but nothing worked. Had a bit of success with cuticle oil, the peeling wasn't as bad. I resigned my self to weak naked nails. I even had a gel manicure done and they still ripped off. Nail polishes never last more than 24 hours on my nails, even high end brands. Then I saw the article about these color therapy polishes and got really excited, I was of course sceptical but oh so hopeful. I mean this is 2017, our nail polishes should be amazing by now haha. I begged to be part of this trial, if they worked on my nails, after all I have tried etc, then they must be amazing. The cuticle oil was a nice oil, I took note of the fact you don't use before applying the polish. So I left it on for a bit then washed my hands. I was interested in the polish brush, short and stubby, but it actually made applying the polish a lot easier. It dried so fast, faster than the quick dry polishes I have tried. The top coat took a little longer but still fast. I tried the color slicks and stones which I love, a dark purple with a touch of glitter. Hubby loved the colour too. The result was amazing, wowsers, the polish stayed on for nearly a week, that doesn't happen to me,!! Best of all, my nails did not peel or rip at all!! I can't believe it. I am speechless. How did it work?? Wowsers!! I am going to chuck out my collection of useles polishes and stock up on this stuff. As a busy mum having pretty nails is a treat, but now I know it will not only stay on for more than a few hours, as well as continue to strengthen and heal my nails, I'm gonna have pretty nails all the time. THANKYOU THANKYOU. Sally Hansen Color Therapy, you did it!!!

How lucky was I to get on this trial? Super Lucky!! I like Sally Hansen's products, I was introduced to her a few years ago in Australia with Gel Polish & I have tried other polishes here and there, but this range of nail polish takes them all out!

Firstly, the colours are good - it shouldnt be too tricky to find at least one for you. I got to try Soothing Saphire (deep gorgeous Blue) and Mud Mask (neutral brown).

The brush is fantastic, nice shape and width, meaning this polish is easy to apply with little strain - I hardly went over the edges at all!!

Quick drying - even after the second coat. Two coats are required, so be prepared for that. Do try to sit still, not itch anything and not have the sudden desire that you must do XYZ right now! If you can give it 5 minutes, you will be set for DAYS!

that is right DAYS - I managed to get the first colour to last near perfectly for at least 72 hours, then I did gardening and really put the pressure on. There was a small amount of wear at the tips earlier, but unless someone was inspecting them, you wouldn't know (pics are on the wall). I did also use the top coat and I applied the Cuticle & Nail oil daily.

When removing, there was no staining and the polish was easy to remove with a few wipes. My nails looked fine, not dried out or anything bad.

This is a polish I will have good confidence in - if I'm planning a nice night out, I could prepare my nails the night before rather than rush everything on the day.

I was lucky enough to be chosen for this trial and received two fill sized bottles of nail polish along with a bittle of Top Coat and Cuticle Oil. The colours were Mud Mask, a brown neutral and Aura'nt You Relaxed? a bright coral. Bottled in a squarish, sturdy bottle, the product itself is a good consistency, not too thick and not too thin. The star of the polish is the brush. Flat and square, it dispenses the perfect amount for each nail. I found that two coats were enough. Usually nail polish will past two days before chipping, but with this polish i was able to last four. I'm not sure if this was the polish or the top coat, (which i'm not a fan of), and the argan oil ingredient seems to work. My nails didn't feel as dry as usual when i removed the polish. I'll definitely look for a coiple of new colours from this range.

I was stoked to be able to trial the Sally Hansen Colour Therapy range. When the package arrived I eagerly ripped it open. It consisted of 2 polishes, cuticle oil and a top coat.

I love the packaging. Classy looking glass bottles with square bottoms and metallic lids. They hold 14.7 ml of product. Nice wide, flat brushes which makes applying a breeze.

The 2 colours I got were a nude called Blushed Petal and the most gorgeous purple called Slicks and Stones. I was very happy with both colours but the purple is so striking and just happens to be my favourite colour.

I prepped my nails and applied the first coat, both polishes have a great consistency. They are very fast drying so the second coat can be done fairly quickly which I love. The brush is awesome and with 2 swipes on each nail I am good to go.

I applied Slicks and Stones on a Friday and by Wednesday it started to show wear on my tips and I had a small chip so I decided to remove it. So 5 days of wear with the polish looking great is really amazing! I definately do not get this with other polishes.

Both polishes were easy to remove and left no staining at all. I really love this range and look forward to trying other colours. Thanks BR for letting me trial this. A huge thumbs up from me.

I was lucky enough to be sent two polishes, the cuticle oil and the top coat to trial from Beauty Review. And this is definitely one of those products I will be purchasing more of as a result!

I was sent two colours that I normally would never choose. I spent the first week wearing Blushed Petal (190) and the second week wearing Teal Good (460). And I am impressed! Blushed Petal is a peachy-nude shade – I love neutral polishes but I thought this one was a little too peachy for my skin tone. I did actually grow to quite like it especially adding a statement nail. This will be a great shade for summer though so I shall be reusing it then. The Teal Good colour, again, is not something I would usually pick myself. However, after applying and wearing for a few days, I actually kind of love it! It is a deep teal shade – both warm and bright. Perfect for winter and have actually had random people compliment me on the colour!

The polish lasted around five days before I started noticing some chipping along the tips of my nails. I am usually terrible with chipping my nail polish but I haven’t had any chipping anywhere apart from right on the tips of my nails which to me is just normal wear and tear. So it appears to be reasonably long lasting and on this alone I will purchase other colours.

This polish is pretty standard in how it applies. When I first used the Blushed Petal I found it went on quite streaky and after applying the top coat (despite leaving my nails to dry for quite a while) it only made it worse. So I removed the polish the next day (of which it came off super easy and I was really impressed with that – I had having to scrub off nail polish) and reapplied being a little more generous with my application. This second time it went on a lot easier with very little streaking. I did not have this same issue with the Teal Good colour so this may just be because of the lighter nude shade. I found two coats to be about right for both of these polishes. One didn’t quite provide full coverage; two coats provided just enough coverage without being too thick.

These polishes claim to care while you wear. I had doubts about this but I actually found my nails are looking better! I have terrible nails – they break constantly, have crazy noticeably ridges all over and peel. So really, my nails couldn’t get any worse! So far, my nails have grown! When I removed the first polish to trial the second, my nails were looking a little less ridge-y (smoother) and they didn’t peel like they normally do after removing nail polish. I will attribute this to their argan oil formula as most other nail polishes often dry out my nails; I haven’t had this with this polish.

Overall, I will definitely be buying more of these polishes. They lasted well considering my nail polish track-record and the colours, despite me initially not really liking, have grown on me and actually look really good on! The only task now is to decide which other colours to buy!

I was lucky enough to be sent two Sally Hansen polishes, a top coat and a cuticle oil to trial.

I was sent Soothing Sapphire (a lovely, rich, shimmery royal blue colour) and Rosy Quartz (a baby pink). I really like the fact that there was argan oil to help nourish the nails. The bottles are beautiful - thick, square glass bottles that look so luxurious with silver tops.

The brush is wide and soft, allowing for easy and even application. I find that the pink is a bit sheer and needs 3 coats to be opaque, but 2 coats would be beautiful if you want a sheer polish. The sapphire is a beautiful shade that is opaque with 2 coats and perfect for fall/winter (or even a party!)

I feel that drying time was standard, and each polish lasted about 6 days on me before chipping, usually they would last around 4 days. I felt that they did indeed care for my nails when I was wearing them, since usually when I remove them, my nails tend to be drier and almost flaky. This was not the case with these polishes.

Both polishes were easy to remove and didn't stain. Overall, I love the ones I was sent and will be looking for more in this range!

I was lucky to be sent shades 390 (Slicks and Stones) a rich and vibrant dark purple and 200 (Powder Room) a lush creamy colour.

I first tried the Slicks and Stones and as with both polishes, the brush is quite wide and flat which made application nice and easy. The polish is quite runny and I found that the polish ran down the handle so you don't need to apply much to the brush as it quite literally 'refills' the brush! It was nice an easy to put on and after two coats looked glossy and thick. It did take a little while for it to dry which was a bit of a pain but totally worth the wait!

At 2 am when I had to take my daughter to the bathroom, the first thing she said was 'mummy, I love the colour of your toenails' so it was great they made such an instant impact! I put the Powder Room polish on my oldest daughter and again, it was easy to apply and looked great! Easy to remove and didn't stain my nails.

I am on my feet all day cleaning and it took 3 days before I got a chip in the polish and this was without the top coat. Had I added this (which I did later) it would have lasted a lot longer.

These polishes also looked lovely in their classy bottles and would make a welcome addition to anyone's nail polish collection.

Firstly the packaging of these nail polishes are super cute, with rose gold lid and glass packaging with a square bottom (similar to their other polishes such as the gel one) I have used 2 colours being Primrose and Proper which is a gorgeous pink shade and Red-y to Glow which is a gorgeous deep red shade. Both colours applied really nicely. The polish has a nice consistency that isn't too runny and didn't apply streaky at all. 2 coats gave even and opaque coverage. I also really like the brush that comes with the polish as it is quite flat and wide so it's covers a lot of the nail in one swipe and I found it really easy to apply. I finished with a top coat and I got 6 days of wear without any chipping, I only removed the colour after day 6 as I made slime with the kids which just stuck to the polish so I had to take it all off. I feel like it would have still given me a few more days of wear if I kept it on. My nails felt really good after wear, they have been long and strong following wearing the nail polish and usually after a few weeks of nail polish wear my nails will just weaken and break away and I have to start the growing cycle again. However with this nail polish so far so good. Overall I love this nail polish and there is a gorgeous range of shades so I will definitely be picking up a few more for my collection!
