Sally Hansen Angel Wings, Sally Hansen Crackle in Fuchsia Shock,
Revlon Top Speed in Metallic, and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Blue Me Away!
I wanted to try one of the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes, because I've been eyeing them for ages but have never gotten one. At my local Fred Meyer, they are like two dollars more than they were at Target! So I'm glad I waited. Anyway, this color is called Angel Wings. It's this lovely sheer with shimmery pink. First I swatched it alone. It's really pretty, but super sheer... not that I expected anything else. So then I tried it on top of black, white, grey and pink. I LOVED it on top of the black! The pink shimmer was so pretty and quite more obvious than the other colors.
Angel Wings- two coats
Angel Wings- three coats on thumb, on black, white, grey, pink
The next thing that caught my eye was the Sally Hansen Crackle collection. There were literally only three bottles left! Two pinks and I think a white maybe. My fiance, Scott, was the one who said "Oooo look at this!" Really, he was the one that convinced me to get it, but don't tell him that. I thought that the pink would look really great over a bright electric blue, which is great because in the display beneath the crackle I found Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Blue Me Away! It was perfect! And so cheap. So I grabbed those two bottles and went on my way.
I really love Blue Me Away. It'a a bright, happy color perfect for the dreary summer we are having here in Portland right now. Here it is with two coats. Don't mind the crinkles on the middle finger, that always happens when I polish before bed :)
So then I put Fuchsia Shock on top. I was a little disappointed that this turned out kind of purple on top of the blue. I was hoping it would be as pink as it is in the bottle, but I still really really love this look. I'm a little bit surprised, because I kind of really dislike the way that color crackles look! But I love this! It reminds me of cotton candy. I used one thick layer of Fuchsia Shock on top of Blue Me Away! and used Seche Vite as a top coat. Also, FYI, the brush for Sally Hansen's crackle is not the best. It was really difficult to get a thick layer. I way more prefer the brushes she uses for her Xtreme Wear and Insta-Dri, that thick flat brush, as opposed to this one, which was really thin and round. Oh well, it still works!
While crouching down to grab the bottle of Blue Me Away!, my eye tripped over the Revlon collection (beauty sections in the store are like that, aren't they? A domino effect of desire) and lingered on a few different bottles. I picked up and set down three colors before settling on Metallic. I'm a sucker for a great metallic color! I tried it alone, and then decided to test it's Konadability (this is a word, promise). I really wasn't expecting it to work with the stamps, but insert foot into mouth! It's totally awesome for stamps! Which means I have to go back and get the gold/copper one that I was fondling.
Perfect Konadability!
So there you have it. I'm really excited to try Fuchsia Shock on top of Metallic! I think that will be a really fun look.
