Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear--Perky Pink

Press Samples

This is the last polish that Sally Hansen sent to me to review and swatch. Meet Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Perky Pink.

Perky Pink is a glitter polish with a clear base. The iridescent light pink and peach glitter is sparsely distributed throughout this polish.

The Verdict:

This polish was not my favorite. I think if the glitter would have been more dense I may have liked it more.  This polish is good for layering but that's about it. I wore it layered and loved it. This might be finding its way to a friend who loves glitter, or I might continue to use it for layering...

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polishes can be found at most pharmacies and groceries and retails for about $2.00.

Saly Hansen Xtreme Wear--Pink Punch

Press Samples

A vibrant pink crelly with long-lasting wear? Count me in! This is exactly what you will find in the next Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polish that I am sharing with you.

Pink Punch is a punchy, in-your-face juicy bright pink. The picture above shows two coats without a top coat. (This polish was sent to me by PR for Sally Hansen, the name on the bottle is incorrect. There was a sticker on the bottle with the correct name and it did not make it into the photos. This is Pink Punch NOT Violet Voltage.)

The Verdict:

This polish is so smooth and easy to apply. It is a summer staple and is one of those polishes that you reach for when you're looking for that perfect mani or pedi color when the temperatures start rising. That being said, this is not the most unique color ever. I am sure that you have a polish like it or nearly like it already. BUT if you're disappointed in the application of your bright pink crelly, this one is for you!

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear--Coin Flip

Press Samples

Today I have ANOTHER metallic from Sally Hansen:) If you remember back to last week, you might think I accidentally reposted about a Sally Hansen polish. However, I am here to stress that Coin Flip is in fact different from Golden-I. Coin Flip is Golden-I's bronze sister. It's the exact same finish, just bronze instead of gold.

Coin Flip is a metallic bronze polish. It has the same silvery-pewter base (as Golden-I) with flecks of bronze. The flecks & base make this a very wearable, understated bronze that almost looks like a metallic taupe. The swatches shown do not have a topcoat. 

The Verdict:

Again with the minimal brushstrokes. But this is not at all frosted. The bronze flecks are stunning! I can see this polish becoming an autumn staple. It seems like that perfect "almost neutral" to wear with layers and boots. I love how luminescent this is too, it almost makes your skin glow:)

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear--Golden I

Press Samples

At times I struggle to find gold polishes that I think flatter my cool, pale skin. Also many metallic polishes are streaky in their application, which I find frustrating. Here is the latest gold metallic that I have tried. 

Golden-I is a neutral light gold. I did not find that it was overly warm or cool toned. Two coats without topcoat are shown.

The Verdict:

I liked the tone of this gold immensely. It was quite long lasting as well. The only thing that bothered me was that I could see brush strokes when I painted with my nondominant hand. While they were not ridiculously prominent, I could notice them. If you are a nail polish master, or if you use a topcoat that minimizes brushstrokes, you will have no difficulties. That being said this is my favorite gold nail polish as of right now.

Pink Diamonds & Pink Satin

Not only do these two polishes sound like they were made to go together, but they are practically the same color!

I've owned the pink glitter for a while and I have been in search of the perfect polish to do a tone on tone glitter accent nail. Everything was either too blue or too orange. This is the closest I have come so far! Next mission, find it in a cream finish!

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear--Pink Satin

Press Samples

Today I have another Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear polish. 

Pink Satin is a soft, cool, metallic pink, with violet undertones. The swatch shown is one coat without a topcoat. 

The Verdict:
I love the concept of this polish: a soft metallic pink. However, I'm not a fan of the brush marks/streaks. They are VERY subtle in person and I can definitely see myself trying this polish again perhaps with an extra coat and a top coat to smooth out the frostiness.The formula of this polish was thin and smooth, very easy to work with. This polish also dried quickly.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polishes can be found at most pharmacies and groceries and retails for about $2.00.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear--Posh Plum

Press Samples 

I love trying new polishes. As crazy as it may sound I have never tried any of the Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear nail polish line by Sally Hansen. My first nail polish EVER was a Sally Hansen Hard as Nails (I received a manicure set for Christmas back in the 90s and it had 4 beautiful polishes in it). These bottles are adorable and are extremely easy to store. Here is the first of many Sally Hansen polishes I was sent to review.

Posh Plum is the perfect name for this polish. It is quite "posh" due to its fuchsia, metallic, nearly duochrome finish.  The color is a definite homage to the 80s/90s. The above photograph shows 2 coats of Posh Plum without a topcoat.

The Verdict:
This polish is absolutely stunning. The formula was thin but not hard to control, the polish dried very quickly. There are absolutely no streaks, yet it has a very metallic looking finish. The color is bright and vibrant, perfect for summer. I cannot wait to get this on my toes, it will be perfect for a pedicure! I am very impressed with this line of polish so far, I will definitely purchase more if they are all like this one. I've heard Pacific Blue is to die for!
