Sally Hansen Crackle Polish

So I'm at Walgreens doing a little shopping, and I happen to spot a brand spankin' new display of Sally Hansen crackle polishes! OMG!! There are all different colors: purple, blue, white, silver, gray, gold, black.. I want them all. ALL OF THEM I TELL YOU!! I chose the black one to start off with, here are some pictures:



Products used: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish in #15 Presto Pink and Sally Hansen crackle overcoat in #08 Ink Splatter, with Maybelline Express Finish base & top coat applied over top. Tip: Apply a thin layer of crackle polish to get more crackling effects (in above photos, my pinky and ring fingers have a thicker layer applied and you can really tell the difference!!)

I know I've really been trying to not buy any nail polish this year, but come on! I consider this more of an investment, because it forces me to use the colored polishes I already own as a base coat =) So my old polishes get more use and I get to use my new black crackle polish.. it's a win-win situation!!

In hindsight, the Sally Hansen crackle retails for $6.99 each, and I could have actually bought the black OPI crackle for less where I work (I have only been eyeing it down for months now, haha), but OPI doesn't have many different color options in their "shatter" polishes yet.. and I couldn't resist! Also, I'm in love with the Insta-Dri polishes too, they really do dry instantly!!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #370

See I told you that I would buy another one of those Sally Hansen Complete Manicure nail polishes!! This is #370 "Commander in Chic", I'm really digging these dark fall colors this year :) Pretty sure I've seen this color featured in a magazine before.. but I couldn't tell you which magazine it was!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #340

This is my first time ever buying Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polish, and I decided to be daring and try a dark color.. #340 Black Platinum. I was surprised to find that it had one of the newer wide brushes, I've never really used that wide of a brush for nail polish before so it wasn't the best application ever =P  I never wear dark shades on my hands but I Really Like this color! I put on two coats and it dries pretty quickly, I have had some chipping but nothing too terrible. I'll probably buy more polish from this line in the future.
