Pink a Card is another of the new reformulated Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure line, and it’s a lovely creamy soft baby pink.
It’s just a darling color, very work appropriate and I think it would be a fantastic base to some nail art. When I first saw it I thought it would be close to Pink Friday from the Nicki Minaj collection from OPI, but it’s actually much lighter, certainly in the same family, but not a dupe at all.
If you’d like to try these out, you can order them here, here, or you can usually pick them up at your local drug store for about $7.99 but they go on sale often.

Alright, I know I’ve said it once or twice (or twelve), times before, but nudes and soft shades haven’t ever really been my thing.
But then Sally Hansen sent me this baby, and I fell in love. And I understood the power of the nude/pale soft shade.
This is Royal Blush, and it is a peach color with a hint of pink undertone. It’s like my nails, only better. By George, I get it! I think this would be a fantastic base for a French manicure as well.
This is three thin coats, no top coat, and again, I got about a weeks worth of wear with it.

Continuing on with my swatch-a-thon of the newly reformulated Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure line, I have Tickle Me Pink to show you, and if you don’t like it as soon as you saw it, then you’re wrong- look again!
This is a blindingly shocking, in your face hot pink color, and while it’s not entirely original, it’s still lovely and I’m so drawn to these colors.
This could be a perfect one coat if you work it right, but I used two thin ones here. I think this might be a good stamping polish as well, but I haven’t tried it yet.

This lovely polish is another new Sally Hansen from the Complete Salon Manicure line, called Black and Blue.
Black and Blue flashes from teal to blue and purple in the bottle, unfortunately it doesn’t translate that well on the nail. As a duochrome it’s less than I’d hope for, but as a plan teal polish it’s very lovely.
Here is a close up of, and the best shot I got of the color shift:

This is three thin coats, and no topcoat.

Sally Hansen has recently updated their entire Complete Salon Manicure line, and let me tell you, I am impressed.
This beauty is called Peach of Cake (uuugh, the names… Haha!) and I was fully prepared to dislike this color.
Colors like this are not things that I normally gravitate to, and while I fully can appreciate the color, I usually assign it to my Mom and Grandmama. (In other words, old lady colors. Sorry Mom!)
Now, let me tell you how wrong I am.
So wrong.
So very wrong.
I used three very thin coats, and it was completely dry in a few minutes, not only that but I am not wearing a topcoat at all. I got a full week with this new formula, with very little chipping and minimal tip wear.

I really love all the rainbow manicures that are out now, so I wanted to try it myself.
First I painted on French Quarter For Your Thoughts, then started dotting away! I kept my friend Roy G. Biv in mind while dotting, so here are the colors I used in order: China Glaze Hey Sailor, OPI Red Lights Ahead, Where? OPI on Collins Ave, China Glaze Papaya Punch, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, Sally Hansen Lickety-Split Lime, China Glaze Gaga for Green, Barry M Cyan, Sally Hansen Fairy Teal, SpaRitual Undercurrent, and last but not least, SpaRitual Heliotrope!
Whooo! That was a handful! What do you think of the doticure??
I think the magnetic polishes that are out now are so neat, and I’ve tried a few of them but honestly this Sally Hansen Magnetic polish is one of the best.
When I was first applying Silver Elements it was like a normal silver foil polish, I thought it was gross and was fully prepared to hate it. Oh but then, then I used the magnet (cleverly located in the lid) and magic happened! The foil parted and tiny silver micro glitter appeared! These are much easier to use than the China Glaze ones that I got when they first came out.
You can purchase these at all major US retailers, and online as well.

Here is another shot of the mani while holding the can that inspired it all.
Colors used: China Glaze Liquid Leather for the base, GOSH Miss Grey, Sally Hansen Blue By!, Orly Lucky Duck, China Glaze Gaga for Green and OPI Did It On ‘Em.
Let me tell you, I am not a Monster drinker. My husband on the other hand, is a Monster fiend. He buys cases of them at Sams, so we have empties hanging around the house quite often. Whenever I see them I’m always struck at how pretty the colors are together, whomever designed the can did a great job, they are beautiful. I always thought it would make a great sponge mani, so last night I decided to give it a try, and let me tell you, it couldn’t have been easier. The hardest part was picking out colors!!
I ended up using China Glaze Liquid Leather for the base, GOSH Miss Grey, Sally Hansen Blue By!, Orly Lucky Duck, China Glaze Gaga for Green and OPI Did It On ‘Em.
What do you think?
This mani is another image from the new set of MASH Nails image plates that I have.
I used Sally Hansen Dorian Grey (yeah, I’m a nerd and I’m so pleased to have found that on eBay) and for stamping I used Man Glaze Fuggen Ugly.
Again, I wanted to use polishes that I have never been able to with other image plates and I had absolutely no problem picking up the Man Glaze (that’s what she said) with the stamper. Also, check out that hidden holo that popped up on my thumb!
Color me throughly impressed with MASH’s nail plates.
