Sally Hansen Sugar Coat- Sour Apple

So today i have another swatch. It's my first time trying out textured polish and I'm surprised I haven't tried it before. I've always been very fond of smooth finishes but after trying this, i could totally try more. The polish I'm swatching today is Sally Hansen Sugar Coat in the colour Sour Apple.

The colour of Sour Apple is gorgeous. It's really already became a favourite of mine. The formula was great. I was worried that being a textured polish, it would be hard to apply but applying was a breeze. In the photos i have 2 coats but if you applied a good even coat, you could definitely get away with only 1 coat. Drying time was also good, it dried fairly quickly within 2-4 minutes. The texture of the polish is also great. As you can see in the pictures that the texture is very noticeable and definitely looks textured.

Another thing that impressed me is that it stayed on for very long. Usual polishes will tend to show signs of wear and tear on the third day or so when no top coat is applied. If you take a shower, normal polishes will show signs of peeling, if not completely peel off. With the Sugar Coats there was no sign of wear and tear or peeling even though i wore it for an entire week and with numerous showers taken the polish still looked brand new.

Impressed...Yes very. I'm going to have to buy all the other Sugar Coats by Sally Hansen. 

What do you think? Do you like Textured Polish?

Sally Hansen Lustre Shine- Plume

So today i went shopping. In particular i went to priceline which was having a 40% off all cosmetics sale. I promised myself that I wouldn't buy a thing but ended up walking out of the store with 2 nail polishes. Not that bad I'd like to think. This being one of the polishes. So today I've swatched Sally Hansen's Lustre Shine nail polish in the colour Plume. The Lustre Shine range seems to be duo-chrome polishes which i totally love and can't get enough and since i haven't tried this range, today was the best time to try it.

Sally Hansen has been a brand that i always buy from and will continue to buy from. They are decent priced polishes and work well. The formula for this polish was great and so was drying time. It tried really quickly. I only required 2 coats to achieve this look. It was however alittle streaky but I've realised that all duo-chrome polishes are like that, well atleast the ones I've tried and you can kind of see that in the picture.

Here is the polish bottle up close so you can see the duo-chrome. This polishes base colour is a bronze-gold with blue and green effects. At different angles the nail looks either gold, blue or green. The picture below shows a slight green tinge from a different angle. Mostly you will see the foil-y bronze/gold colour but if you're outdoors the duo-chrome effect works better, especially in the sun you can see all three colours on your nails.

Applying was a breeze and i had no problem with this polish whatsoever. They retail for $9.95 here in Australia but i was able to snatch it up on sale for $5.95 due to the 40% sale at priceline. The particular colour Plume is incredibly pretty and having such good results with this polish makes me want to try the rest of the Lustre Shine range.

As i mentioned before that it is slightly streaky, it isn't a big deal and it doesn't affect the way the polish is applied. In all honesty the slight lines on my nails don't bother me at all and are not even that noticeable in real life. I highly recommend this polish and am very pleased.

So have you tried any Sally Hansen polishes? Maybe from the Lustre Shine range. If so comment below telling me whether you liked it or not. Are you excited to try this range, and which colour is your favourite.
