I Need A Refresh-Mint Swatch+Review!

I found this little beauty after a nice stroll through my local Rite Aid, and I figured for less than $2, why not try this? It's a cute color, it reminds me of China Glaze's For Audrey, (which I later find out that it's a dupe!) and I've heard raving reviews about this polish in particular on lots of blogs. What have I got to lose? I bought it, and put it on, and the compliments started flowing in. It's gorgeous! It suits my fair skin tone too. Wet 'n Wild's MegaLast Salon Nail Color in I Need A Refresh-Mint was definitely a great investment (of about $1.79). Oh my yes. The formula is smooth, very creamy, workable. The ManiCurve Pro Brush they have now is great, it resembles the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure brushes, maybe even OPI's ProWide brushes. I might not go that far though, it's a little too fluffy still, but they're on the right track. Only two coats for the color to be opaque and true to the bottle, no strong odors or streaking or awful drying time. I have some of the Sally Hansen salon polishes, and I wish they dried this fast. This is fantastic. I think I'll have to go back and pick up a few more of these polishes! Not to mention these particular polishes and other Wet 'n Wilds are almost always on sale at Rite Aid, woohoo! I definitely reccomend this. I'm not easy on my nails and they haven't even worn or chipped at all. We have a winner! Also, a great spring and summer color. I'll be taking this one to the beach.

Commander in Chic Swatch+Review!

Hello there! So as I said in my last post, I'm amazed by the deal I came across. And now that I have this color on my nails, I'm floored. This is sooooo pretty for fall, winter, maybe even a little spring action right here. I'm in love. It's a gorgeous mocha-taupey kind of color, with some purple undertones. It went on amazing, and the thick brush that this line has, I personally love. It's a one-stroke-and-done kind of deal! Two coats for full color, it dries a little darker than in the bottle, but that's alright by me! These polishes in this line are five-in-one polishes: base, strengthener, growth treatment, color, and topcoat. So I treated it as such, no base, no topcoat. It doesn't even need them! It's so smooth, fills ridges, and its amazingly shiny. I give this a five out of five! Hallelujah! Jackpot! What is your favorite Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Color, and which ones should I try? What is your favorite fall and winter color?

Don't Discount The Discount Bins!

Well I love Rite Aid, as you might have already found out. I love clearance bins, as I will demonstrate in my upcoming haul. But this, this couldn't wait for the haul. It deserves its own personal post. It's that important, yes it is! I was digging through for any goodies I could find, and I found a lovely plastic wrapped package gem! A Sally Hansen combo pack? Yes please! It was a bundle of joy, consisting of Commander in Chic, part of the Complete Salon Manicure line, and a small Nails & Cuticles Hand Creme with shea butter, also by Sally Hansen. It was only $3. Ummm, YES?! The polish itself cost twice as much as that! I'm also pretty sure the hand creme is around $5 as well. Now this polish, I know it's a hot color for fall and winter, I'm not too sure if it's even on their shelves anymore when I glanced. It's a dupe for the notorious OPI Metro Chic, I must have it. So I bought it, duh! Two coats and this baby was ready to go. No base, no top, and yet still, SO SHINY! I love this line of drugstore polishes. I have OPI polishes, and these are comparable. Check them out! And the hand creme is amazing, by the way. :) See my next post for the swatch and full review!

Sally Hansen Crackle Topcoat! Review + Ideas

Hey guys! So, this marks a day in Let's Talk Polish history! I uploaded the blog's first YouTube video! Check it out! It has all of the swatches for my long-awaited shatter/texture coat post!

 

So here's the review!

I really do like these polishes, my only beef is that they get a little clumpy after a while, but nothing a little polish thinner can't handle. Other than that, I think they're great. I haven't seen shimmery purple shatters, except for this. And I'm a sucker for shimmery purple. The brushes are small, but for me, who has small hands and therefore small nails, I can't complain. Thanks for watching and reading! I will be back soon with more reviews, hauls, swatches, and inspirations!

New Colors! Winter Sparkle!

Today I finally got my order from Walmart in the mail, two new colors from Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear collection. I got the beautiful creamy gray, Wet Cement, which I love. Two coats and it's good to go. It's almost brownish in its hue, but I love this shade of gray. It's a gray that I can actually wear! Then my second polish was Celeb City. I'm a sucker for glitters and silvers, but this one takes the cake as my favorite silver. It's almost like a foil, I can't believe how shiny it is! And it isn't sheer, like most glittery silvers that I have are. Two coats and it was like tin foil! Have you guys tried these polishes yet? What do you think?

Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect in Sea

So, as you might have gathered, just from the looks of things, this is my very first post! You can probably tell by the title of this blog, that it's all about nail polish, nail care, and hauls and deals to perhaps save you a penny or two! Who doesn't love saving money? This first polish I have for you here today is an awesome one in my opinion. I just bought it at Rite Aid on sale, 75% off! So about a dollar and some. This is Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect in Sea, a sheer pastel green with a light silver shimmer. I also got another one from the same collection on sale, called Air, which is a pastel blue. The formula in my opinion is nice, but definitely sheerer than I thought. The picture shown is 3 coats. And the brush is a very thick, tapered brush, just like the Sally Hansen Salon Manicure line. I like the color though, reminds me of a minty sorbet or ice cream. Very smooth. It advertises that it hides ridges, and that it does. My nails are still repairing from a mishap that happened with a supposed "UV-free Gel Manicure". That story's for another post though. But I do recommend this line! It comes in many colors, they're all shimmery pastels, and I feel they'll be a hot pick for the upcoming spring.
