Nailed It! Sally Hansen #CSMTKO

I’m a nail polish addict, but even still I often opt to go for polish only on my toes because I always end up ruining a manicure in about 2.5 seconds.  It never matters what kind of base coat, or polish or top coat I use (or don’t use) I can be certain of one thing – I’ll have huge chips in the polish within 24 hours of application.

So when I received this set of polished from the Sally Hansen Complete Spa Manicure line from Influenster to review, I was a little sceptical.

7 benefits in one bottle?  We’ll see about that.  I opted to give the red a try first, and was really surprised not only at how well it covered, but how quickly it dried.  Not only am I notorious for chipping polish, I’m also notorious for smudging and ruining polish before it dries, but in about 15 minutes and only two coats of polish I was left with this beautiful red manicure

I’ve never had gel nails, but the finish of this polish is certainly more substantial feeling than other polishes I’ve used, and I was super impressed when after two full days I only had one minor chip at the top of one nail.  That, my friends, is unheard of.

6 days later…

Colour me amazed.

This past week I’ve been wearing “jaded” which took 4 coats to cover well, but once again dried super quickly and has gone 5 days and is only now starting to show some major chipping.

Over all I am super impressed.  I haven’t purchased or used Sally Hansen polish in years, but these polishes they sent me are certainly a higher quality than I was expecting!  I’ve checked in store and see they have a huge colour selection in this line so I might get myself a few more colours (and next week I’ll be sporting the “Pat on the Black” polish.  And if you are in Canada you should pop over to their Facebook page where you can get a coupon for $2 off and Complete Spa manicure polish.  Yay!!

Disclosure:  I was sent these polished by Influnster in exchange for my honest review.  All thoughts, opinions and experiences expressed are 100% my own.

    My polish always chips super fast too, maybe it is a downfall of being active.
