Sally Hansen Opal Nail Glazes

I saw these mentioned on Scrangie's blog. Just a mention, but I was intrigued and sought them out. I could only find a scant few pictures of them on FlickR, on Lextard's photostream. Hence this post, because I know people are looking for pictures of them and I want to help.

I took a chance and bought some, because I wanted to experience the "lustrous glow of real crushed opals". WHOOO REAL CRUSHED OPALLLLLSSSSSSS!! Anyway they are nice, but it's not like strapping a fire opal to your nail or anything. They tend to be sheer, slightly opalescent (of course), and in soft pinks, subtle reds, and very light purples. The formula is very nice, not runny, not thick, and easy to apply. Super easy. They dry quickly, but not so quickly you get clumps or remove dried polish with a second stroke. They have a nice wide brush (not as wide as OPI DS brushes) and a wide flattish stick. This makes it even easier to apply.

These also are discontinued. Eyeroll. You can find them on eBay and suchlike. Eventually I will get some more, but until now enjoy a few!

Sally Hansen Prisms

Okay, Sally Hansen may not have any prestige. You can find it anywhere. If it was a celebrity, it'd be Danny Bonaduce.

But when you take a closer look it's kinda more like Madonna. All over the place, sometimes super tacky, but has longevity despite cheapness. My Mom wore Sally Hansen, and guess what, I do too.

An overlooked Product of Magnificence is Sally Hansen Prisms. They are fun, have wicked duo- and trichromes, sometimes holographic glitter, and the formula is nice, if a bit runny. It applies easily if you don't leave too much on the brush. It dries quickly and two or three coats, and they don't need to be thick, is plenty.

You'll have to search for these, they are not in stores, but I had no problem getting some. I am sure I'll post more of these later.
