I am currently suffering from a beige/nude/cream nail polish addiction. I don't know what put me in this phase, but for some reason I have been completely ignoring all the fun colored summer lines and going for the neutrals.
I was sadly underwhelmed by this. It was thick, goopy, and quite frankly, a bitch to apply. You have seen how much I curse here, so for me to go into less clean language should mean something: It really is quite terrible to apply.
I like the overall coverage, but the application was awful.
I have been painting my nails every other day/every two days for years, so I have a lot of experience/have used a lot of different polish formulas. This was one of the worst simply because it was so thick. The brush itself was massive, and while it had a nicely curved tip it was very difficult to use. If I didn't remove a lot of product from the brush, it would ooze onto the sides of my nail beds. If I removed too much from the brush the coverage would be terrible and my nail would be bare in places.
The idea behind this polish is to be time-saving, but this was one of the longest art-free manicures I have ever performed. It took me ages to apply it and then clean up my cuticles.
Also: HOLY SHRINKAGE! I wish I had a close up on my nails, because my tips were practically bare within three hours. I removed it a day after I applied it.
I'm going to try one more polish from this line, just to give them the benefit of the doubt, but at this point I would NOT recommend this to anyone, unless they have hours to do their nails and enjoy having bare tips.
But... the color was pretty? I guess? Maybe one plus?
I agree, I personally dislike Sally Hansen polishes. I've purchased gorgeous colors and ended up throwing them out because they perform like crap.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I'm not the only person who has a difficult time with Sally Hansen! They seem to get a lot of love from a lot of bloggers, and I always wonder if I'm doing something wrong. They really do have some beautiful colors, but I usually have some sort of difficulty with the formula itself.
