Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in White On


Photo Source: Girl Germs

I originally bought Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in White Out as a base coat for my sheer and neon polishes. White On is your basic white nail polish with a cream finish. This nail polish will take two to three coats because on me it is somewhat streaky at first. If you are looking for a white creme nail polish to use as a base I would highly suggest this one. The Xtreme Wear nail polishes retail for $2-3 at most drugstores. As far as the wear of this nail polish, I can't really say because it's usually underneath another polish.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in Lacey Lilac

I love the Xtreme Wear line by Sally Hansen because not only do they have a great color selection and high quality product, but a purse friendly price. You can usually find the Xtreme Wear nail polishes for under $3.00 at your local drugstore. Lacey Lilac is a pale lilac creme. Being this is a pastel nail polish I was expecting to have to use quite a few coats but surprisingly I only had to use two coats. I don't normally wear my nail polish for more than three or four days but when I did wear this it definitely lasted without chipping. I really enjoy the Xtreme Wear line by Sally Hansen and will definitely be picking up more in the future.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in Mint Sorbet


Photo Source: The Tree Of Everything

Mint Sorbet is the perfect cream pastel mint. Its hard to find a true "mint" nail polish because a lot of them have too much of a blue undertone or too much of a yellow undertone. This one in particular reminds me a lot of Mint Candy Apple by Essie which I had at one point but used up. I like to wear this in the spring as well as the winter around the holidays. Mint Sorbet is a great formula that will apply easily and become opaque in about two coats. The Xtreme Wear polishes retail for around $2.00 - $3.00 at most drugstores.

Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color in Ionic Indigo

Magnetic nail polishes are the craze right now in the nail polish world. At first the only brand that I knew of to have them was Nails Inc. which was only sold overseas until recently. Then every brand started popping up with magnetic nail polishes. I would describe Ionic Indigo as a medium silvery blue. Once you use the magnet though it turns into more of a navy blue. The magnetic nail polish craze is fun, but almost a pain  to do because you have to use the magnet individually for each nail. The thing I like a lot about the Sally Hansen magnetic polishes is that the magnet cap comes off of the actual cap of the nail polish. It makes it so there is a lot less of a mess.

Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle in Polished Pearl


Photo Source: Steph's Closet

Polished Pearl is the first and only nail polish I have tried from the Nail Growth Miracle line. The Nail Growth Miracle nail polishes contain multi-vitamins that help resist splitting, cracking and breaking. Usually when a product has claims like this it means with repeated used over time. I don't wear a single polish enough times in a row to notice anything like that. With that said, I picked up this nail polish for the color, not the nail protection properties. I would describe this shade as a warm vanilla nude with a shimmer to it. I can't pinpoint whether its gold or silver shimmer, depending on how the light hits it it can look like either. Polished Pearl was a limited edition color, so you cannot find it in stores anymore but I have seen it available on Amazon and Ebay if you are interested. 
   

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Polish in Blue Away

I picked this nail polish up this past spring because I was on a pastel nail polish kick. I absolutely love the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri line because they definitely dry faster than most polishes. This nail polish is the perfect pastel blue. It's not too light or too bright either. It reminds me of the skies on a summer day. I also wore this a couple of times over the summer and it looked amazing with a tan. This nail polish is a cream finish and turned out perfect with two coats. Another reason that I love the Insta-Dri line is the nice wide brushes which make it super easy to apply a coat in one stroke

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in First Kiss


Picture Credit: Danni and Chels

First Kiss is from the Spring 2011 Tracy Reese collection that Sally Hansen released so it is limited edition, but I found it at Target in the clearance section. Don't fret, I have seen this on Ebay as well as Amazon so you can still purchase it if you want it. I would describe this nail polish as a peachy pink. It looks a lot lighter in the bottle than it does when it dries on your nails. You could get away with two coats, but I used three just to be on the safe side. This nail polish would look great on any skin tone.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Without a Stitch


Picture Credit: Lexie's Beauty Corner

The Complete Salon Manicure line from Sally Hansen claims to be a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, color and top coat all in one. This is the first nail polish I picked up from this line by Sally Hansen and I picked it up because I saw it in the clearance section at Target for around $4.00. Sadly this nail polish was limited edition and can no longer be found in stores. Without a Stitch is a very light tan polish with a cream finish. This nail polish only takes about two generous coats to get a nice opaque finish.
