[Review] Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color and NOTD

Trying out the Sally Hansen Nail colors, I tried on the Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color, which promises Xtreme Strength and Shine. I picked up Shade 485 Golden I, which I combined with Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips (204 Simply D-Vine) for the ring finger nail.

The Xtreme Wear nail colour is a thick and intense formula, which is available in lot of fun colors. The only problem while applying is that, you have to completely wipe off the extra paint from the brush as the polish from the handle tends to come down and unknowingly you may have a big blob of color on your nail and this could be really irritating and difficult to clean off if you have small nails.

Available at: Watsons, Guardian

Price: S$ 13.90-14.90

[Review] Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No Chip Nail Color

As I told in my previous post (read here) about my Nail paint haul at Sally Hansen Workshop... I could not help myself to try out their Diamond Strength No Chip Nail Color. I tried to do reverse french nails... I know it was not very neat but then again, it was my first attempt at doing so on my own.

Now, to tell you about the Diamond Strength range of colors- they have real micro- diamond and platinum for extra strength. They are supposed to last for atleast 10 days without chipping and breaking. The collection has around 30 shades with nearly 15 available here in Singapore. 
For the base I used #210 Brilliant Blush, which is a pretty neutral color with multicolor sheen and looks great on nails if you want healthy natural look.
For the tip I used #360 Diamonds and Rubies, which is a brilliant red and it was my first time buying red and even after buying, I could not bring myself to paint the whole nail with red, so came up with this idea of French nails.

Have you tried any variation of French Nails? Which are your favorite shades for doing french?? Do leave a comment and share.

[Event] Sally Hansen Nail Workshop

This weekend I was invited to attend the Sally Hansen Beautiful Nail Workshop. With my latest fascination with nail paints and nail art, I was very excited to be a part of this workshop.
The workshop was conducted by the nail expert Ms. Ruby Tan and it was a complete hands on experience. 

With the Trainers

Each table was set up for 8 people and had a range of Sally Hansen products like nail paints, Vitamin E oil, Cuticle gel, Base coat and Top coat. Along with these, each place had a Manicure bowl, emery board, orange wood stick and a false nail tip to practice filing. And yes, there were goodie bags as well.

The workshop started with the trainer talking about healthy nails, what shape should your nail be depending upon the shape of your finger- that was interesting. After that we moved on to giving ourselves a quick manicure and used the amazing products set for us on the table. The nail paints were from Complete Salon Manicure Range and also we got to experience the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips and if you have read my yesterday's post (check here), you'll know what was the result...

The goodie bag contents were

 And, did I mention that they had a product counter selling Sally Hansen Products for an amazing price and I could not resist but to pick up a few colors... This was my nail polish haul... Will talk about them soon...

Let me share few tips with all you lovely readers-

• Go for an oval nail shape if you have short fingers.
• If you have curvy and bony fingers, oval shape will go with the curves.
• Those with really long fingers can try square nails.
• Filing the nails is very important for well manicured look even if you do not wear a nail paint.

[Review] Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Paint and Real Nail Polish Strips

Hey Lovelies,
Let me show you my latest nails done with Sally Hansen Salon Effect Range.

#NOTD

The nails are done with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish (shade 203 Nude Now) and the signature nail is done with Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips (#25 Bling it On).

The Salon Manicure Nail Polish has the base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, salon-inspired color, top coat, chip-resistance and a gel finish all in 1 bottle. So an easy to use multipurpose product that is great if you are travelling and let me tell you it is really long lasting as well as compared to the usual nail paints. I am writing this post on fourth day after application and it is still going great.

The Real Nail Polish Strips are a great way to do your nails if you have no time to wait for drying of nail paints or could be a great idea to do your signature nail. They are easy to use- just peel off and apply, then shape using a nail buffer. It can last upto 10 days and are easy to remove with a nail paint remover.

How do you like the nails? Have you tried Sally Hansen's Salon Effects range? What is your favorite product? Do leave a comment and share your thoughts.

Till then keep reading and discovering!

[Review] Sally Hansen Lustre Shine Nail Color

On the occasion of Christmas, Sally Hansen launched a new range of Nail Colors- Lustre Shine in three beautiful shades- Plume, Azur and Scarab.

Image Source- Sally Hansen Singapore Facebook Page- Sally Hansen Lustre Shine in Azur, Scarab and Plume

These are intense and radiant nail lacquer infused with real silver from the Far East that creates a rich iridescent effect on nails!
These three shades seem to be taken up from the shades in a peacock's feather. Even I could not stop myself from picking up one of them, so I picked up Plume (005), which is like an antique gold with greenish undertones and bronze sheen. It picks up the color shades and tones from peacock's plume quite well and I was instantly attracted to the bottle. 

Sally Hansen Lustre Shine in 'Plume' 005

The color is great and easy to apply, comes out opaque with two coats but wanted it to be a little more intense so applied three coats. As I always do, I used the Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Base and Top coat as well. 

Sally Hansen Lustre Shine and Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Base and Top Coat

The colour is intense with light sheen and stays on well atleast for 4 days. I am also now excited to try the other two shades and promise to put up the review as soon as I do that.
Somehow, Sally Hansen has been my favorite for Nail Paints because of the variety of textures and variations that they have to offer... Do check out my review on Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat here.

Where to Buy?
Watsons, Guardian stores

SGD 14.90

[Review] Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat

While browsing in Watsons, the other day I found this new textured nail paint from Sally Hansen- Fuzzy Coat.

Image Source- www.sallyhansen.com

I could not help myself but buy it and really wanted to try out how the textured effect comes out. So I bought this #200 All Yarned Up. I chose this shade because I prefer something which is subtle on my hands, something that is not very visible and merge with my hands. So this shade was like fun and yet subtle. Other shades are

Then I applied it as is on my nails and let me show you what to expect-

Step 1- My Bare Nails

Step 2- Nails with Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Base and Top Coat applied as  Base Coat

Step 3- Sally Hansen Fuzz Coat #200 All Yarned Up  First Coat
It dries up really quick taking less than a minute

Step 4- Sally Hansen Fuzz Coat #200 All Yarned Up  Second Coat

Step 5- Sally Hansen Fuzz Coat #200 All Yarned Up Third Coat

Step 6- Sally Hansen Fuzz Coat #200 All Yarned Up  Fourth Coat and finished with Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Base and Top Coat applied as Top Coat.

These products were used-

Some tips to get the best out of Fuzz Coat-
1.Shake the bottle well before applying each coat.
2.Always start with a base coat and finish with a Top coat and Sally Hansen Diamond Shine works great as a base and top coat and is quick drying.
3. The technique that works best is to dab the paint and then coat the nail to spread the fibers evenly.
4. Use it with a contrasting or similar tone solid colour and you will get a totally different effect.
5. For the last coat try to paint only the nail tips as the fuzz concentration tend to be the least at the tip.

Where can you buy Sally Hansen Fuzz Coat?
All local beauty stores which keep Sally Hansen products.

Cost?
S$14.90 (at Watsons)
