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!
Woohoo lucky girl i got sent two great colours plus the top coat and the cuticle oil!! Chai on life - 180 is a great neutral colour and Aura'nt you relaxed - 320 is a yummy peachy pink colour. Great size bottle that feels really sturdy and classy. 14.7ml. Love the brush its a shorter bristle than a lot of other brushes and it helps it go on really well and hold a bit more polish. I found it super easy to apply. Strong scent as most polishes have but not enough to make my husband leave the room (which he usually does) With both colours i did exactly the same. Cleaned my nails, applied two coats allowing time to dry between coats and then on one hand i apply top coat and on the other i don't. Im really keen to see if the top coat makes a huge difference or not. Drying time seems similar to most polishes but i tend to do it at night and head to bed straight afterwards.
Love the colours and i get comments on both of them as they provide quite a nice sheen and actually make your nails look great - almost like you've got a gel nail done from a professional!
3 days i get from the hand with no top coat, chipping around edge of my nails and it starts to come away from around my cuticles too. 5 days from the hands with the top coat before it starts to wear away at the edges. So id say its best to do the top coat. Im impressed at how long it lasts as my hands get a hard time with cleaning, dishes and id had a busy few days at work too. Im currently trying it on my toenails and I'm 4 days in so will see how long that lasts as I'm usually wearing polish on my toenails for at least 3 weeks this time of the year :)
Definitely keen to try some other colours as i do think it helps your nails. Super easy to apply. super easy to take off with no stains. And looks great! Well done Sally :)
Tips: Loving the cuticle oil am using it all the time. off to review that now too :)
