Glitter gradient nail art with OPI and Sally Hansen

Hello lovelies,

hope you're all well! You all know I'm a sucker for a good gradient manicure so after yesterday's Gradient Dots manicure I have here some glitter! I've played a bit with OPI Don't Talk bach To Me from the Germany collection and Sally Hansen Gem Crush Big Money.

I think the colour combination came out rather well so enjoy the pictures!

Sally Hansen All Fired Up - cool bright red! Review ans swatches

Hello :)

Looking for a bright red colour? Look no more :) Today I'll show you Sally Hansen's All Fired Up.

All Fired Up - cool-toned bright red creme. The pigmentation of this polish is good, I've used two coats. It dried fast and the formula was nice, not runny/watery :) I really like this colour as it's a nice change from all the dark reds and purples I usually wear. Oh and also Complete Salon Manicure polishes come with large flat brush that is wide almost like the bottle neck :D But suprisingly if you'll learn how to work with it it's a very pleasant brush.

Crakling all the time with Sally Hansen :)

Hello lovelies,

Today I have here another Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Antiqued Gold applied over China Glaze Westside Warrior from Metro Collection. I applied one thicker coat but the Antiqued Gold had good pigmentation so I could do even with a thinner coat.  It dried reasonably fast and removing was ok too. Overall it’s a very nice gold crackle polish, better than Boot’s 17 (this one is not a proper gold, it’s something between silver and gold).

Sally Hansen Wine Not from Complete Salon Manicure Collection

Yeah...how I love deep red colours! I bet I will never have enough...maybe I should count them and come to some senses.....no, forget that :D

Wine Not - deep rich red with shimmer. I found Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure to be a good quality polish. I only used two coats for a full coverage, it dried reasonably fast and removal was no problem. This is not an original colour but it has it's place in every girl's nail polish box....it's just classic!

My mannequin nails with Sally Hansen *N*a*k*e*d* Ambitions

Hello lovelies,

I've decided to go neutral. After all those bold reds and purples I needed a change at least for few days. Since this gorgeous little baby was sitting in an 'untried' drawer my choice was easy.

*N*a*k*e*d* Ambitions - pale pinkish beige colour with tiny silver particles. I've used two thicker coats for a good coverage. The polish dried little bit slower but I haven't used Seche Vite. It applied very easily thanks to a good formula and wide brush that somes with Complete Salon Manicure polishes.

Overall it's a very nice and elegant colour I'd wear to work or somwhere I can't have bold colours on my nails.

Sally Hansen Fractured Foil Crackle Overcoat over Essie Carry On

Today I'm starting a serie of Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat polishes and Complete SALON Manicure polishes. I will show you 7 Crackle Overcoat shades (out of 8) and all my Complete SALON Manicure polishes (which comes to 9 or 10).

First up is my favourite: Fractured Foil Crackle Overcoat - silver sparkly crackle polish. It looks to me like a dupe to OPI Silver Shatter. It applied very nicely, it's pigmented enough for thinner or thicker coats and cracks nicely. drying time is very good, but I use Seche vite topcoat almost everytime. I've applied it over Essie Carry On, dark blackened plum colour.

Sally Hansen - Ruby Stilletos swatch

I picked up this polish because it reminds me China Glaze's Ruby Pumps, only with more berry undertones. Polish has red glitters in a rosey-red base. Brush was ok to work with and removal wasn't very problematic. I only swatched the polish so I can't tell you how long it stays without chipping. However my experience tells me that if there are glitters in the polish, it doesn't chip so early. I have no topcoat so you can see that the surface is a bit rough.

Tenhle lak jsem si koupila, protoze mi pripomina China Glaze Ruby Pumps, jen s vice fialovo-ruzovym podtonem. Lak ma cervene glitry v ruzovo-cervenem zaklade. Se steteckem se mi pracovalo celkem v pohode a zadne vetsi problemy jsem nemela ani s odlakovavanim. Tenhle lak jsem jen vyzkousela,takze vam nemuzu rict, jak dlouho vydrzi na nehtech bez odlupovani. Moje zkusenost mi ale rika, ze kdyz jsou v laku trpytky, tak se hned tak brzo loupat nezacne. Nemam zadny nadlak, takze je videt, ze povrch nehtu je trochu hrbolaty.

Sally Hansen Honeymoon Red with Nfu Oh 59

Flaky Nfu Oh polishes are simply made for layering so I combined Sally Hansen's Honeymoon Red with Nfu Oh 59. The result was not as beautiful as I expected but maybe if I would use two layers of Nfu Oh instead of one, it would be nicer.

2 coats of Sally Hansen Honeymoon Red
1 coat of Nfu Oh 59

Supinkove Nfu Oh jsou proste stvorene pro vrstveni, takze jsem zkombinovala Sally Hansen Honeymoon Red s Nfu Oh 59. Vysledek nebyl az tak krasny, jak jsem ocekavala, ale kdybych pouzila dve vrstvy Nfu Oh misto jedne, urcite by to vypadalo jeste lip :)
