Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Lavender Envy

Hello! I have an awesome color to show you all today. This is an older Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, the color name is Lavender Envy. I'm not really sure how old this is, but I found it recently at Big Lots. First off this is definitely meant to be a layering polish, I was up to five coats and still had VNL when I gave up on seeing how many coats it takes to get this polish opaque.

Lavender Envy has a great formula, it is really easy to work with. However it is older and totally stinky, it made my eyes water!  I started this mani with two thick coats of OPI Rumple's Wiggin' a light purple from the Shrek collection. I then added one thin coat of Lavender Envy. I love, love, love the blue shimmer that is in Lavender Envy. It is gorgeous.

This picture shows how it looks in lower light situations. It looks like Rumple's Wiggin' with a little frost. Nice, but not amazing. 


Now for the amazing! These pictures show the blue shimmer that comes out when the light hits this mani. The pictures really don't do this color justice.




Then I decided that I should try Lavender Envy over black. I started with two coats of Essie Licorice, then topped it with a thin coat of Lavender Envy. When Lavender Envy is layered over black an even better blue shimmer appears!



I totally love this polish! If you don't already have it and you need it like I did, I would suggest finding it soon before its gone forever.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Rockstar Pink

Hello!

Today I wanted to show you a polish that is just as much of an amazing glitter bomb as the Nails Inc. polishes from yesterday but that is much cheaper and more accessible. So I bring you Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Rockstar Pink!

Rockstar Pink is full of pink, blue and red small round glitter and gold micro glitter. The formula was great, two easy coats and it was fully opaque. I really am loving these glitter bombs! I used Seche Vite to really make this polish sparkle to it's fullest potential.




Where to buy: drugstores

Cost: $2.00- $4.00

Sally Hansen High Definition Resolution

Hello all!

Today I was at the 99 Cent Store and I found a single bottle of Sally Hansen HD Resolution, while this isn't a color I would normal pick up I decided that for .99 you can't go wrong!

Resolution is a bright grass green, packed full of shimmer; the down fall is that it is frosty which means one thing... brush strokes! Resolution has a very good formula, so the it was fairly easy to get the brush strokes to even out. I used two thick coats for the photos below.


This is with flash, it shows the duochrome effect;  this is not true to color.


This is without flash; this is true to color.
