Sally Hansen Color Foil (Chrome) 'Rose Copper' Swatch and Review

-
Hey guys! What's going on? Today I bring you another swatch and review for a Sally Hansen nail polish. I love the way that there are sooo many different finishes, bottles, brushes and lines of nail polish which Sally Hansen creates. I think they really push the bottle (get it?) when it comes to releasing different lines of polishes. Today I will be reviewing a great example of this, Rose Copper from the Color Foil range.


Mmh, look at that shiny, foily, chromey goodness! And I think that I just invented two new words! As far as I can tell, there isn't much nail polish on the market that has a finish similar to this. That's why I just love this. The coverage is really awesome, it was practically opaque in one coat, but I felt that I could see just a teeny lil' bit of nail line at some angles, so two coats is shown. Oh, also it dries super fast, like, super fast! The colour is called 'Rose Copper', but I think it's pretty much just a straight up rose gold.


One thing that I did notice as soon as I put this on my nail is that the colour was really wrong! It seemed that the pigments had separated, and the first nail that I painted ended up being silver with a rose gold streak! I gave the bottle a good shaking and then applied it to the next nail, which ended up having the same problem. Not to worry, though! I gave it another shake and the other nails were A-ok! In the photo, you can see what the first nail that I painted looked like, compared to a nail that was colour accurate. By the way, the bottle does say to shake before use, so I guess that is it was my bad for not reading the instructions.


Speaking of the bottle, I noticed that the shape is exactly the same as the bottle's from the 'Velvet Texture' (Read more about that here) as well as the 'Patent Gloss' polishes.


The brush is the same as too, but it's a good brush, no complaints here!


The other instructions on the bottle mention 'not to use a top or base coat' and to 'touch up the polish as needed'. Hmmm, I wonder if that means that it doesn't have a long wear time? I have got it on my nails right now and the finish does look a bit scuffed....I wonder why no top or base coat though? It's kinda a mystery to me.


Overall, I really enjoyed this polish. Besides the (fixable) pigmentation problems that it had, the finish and colour were really beautiful, and I would definitely love to try another polish from this range, coz' it's so, so pretty! Also, that drying time, guys, it's awesome! It just makes this polish super easy to use, it's so quick! What do you guys think? Do you love this polish? So you have any idea as to why no base coat or top coat should be used? Do you think that this wears well, or really badly? Let me know right here in the comments or on Instagram and Pinterest (my username is thegoodnailsblog)!
Thanks for reading, and may your nails be good!

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before ...
