- the advanced new nail polish that combines colour and care.
Color Therapy blends saturated colour and a nourishing complex of natural Argan, Acai, and Evening Primrose Oil to condition weak, dry nails.
- the Color Therapy nail polish and top coat contain a patented micro-delivery system that delivers an Argan Oil-enriched formula, resulting in intensive nourishment and instant moisture, for healthier looking nails - It's the ultimate nail therapy!
Enjoy the ultimate nail therapy in three easy steps with Sally Hansen Color Therapy.
Here's how it works -
STEP 1: NAIL COLOUR
*No need for base coat!
For full benefit, let the oil complex in the nail colour make direct contact to the bare nail.
This will allow the nourishing oils to diffuse into the nail plate; providing simultaneous colour and care.
STEP 2: TOP COAT
STEP 3: NAIL & CUTICLE OIL
From the colourful world of Global Colour Ambassador, Madeline Poole, comes a spectrum of 14 pigment-rich Color Therapy shades inspired by luxurious tones.
I have all 14 of the Sally Hansen Color Therapy polishes, that were newly released in Australia, to review for you today :)
*It should be noted that this dries a little darker on the nail than it looks in the bottle.
The formula is great - it is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail.
ROSY QUARTZ
Rosy Quartz is a delicate "barely-there" pink nail polish shade.
It is extremely sheer, but it applies effortlessly onto the nail and builds up nice and evenly.
I doubt this could ever build up to full opacity.
It really just depends on your preference as to how many coats of polish you will need to apply.
My swatch shows three thin coats.
I quite like the clean look of it at three coats.

*Due to how pigmented this colour is, it stained my nails and cuticles slightly blue-green when I removed it - #SmurfHands.
Although Sally Hansen suggest not wearing a base coat for full Color Therapy benefits, I would still wear a couple of coats of base coat just to be safe.

Overall, I really quite like the Color Therapy range.
It is everything I could have wanted and more!
The Color Therapy polishes are all so beautiful and generally have fantastic formulas that apply effortlessly onto the nail, are easily opaque, and dry super quickly and glossy.
I also love that the Color Therapy polishes have the same amazing signature wide flat brush Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure & Miracle Gel line have; making the polish so easy to work with and application using the three-stroke method a breeze.
I have worn these without base coat, as Sally Hansen have suggested, and can honestly say that the general appearance of my nail beds has improved. Also, I quite enjoy the way the polish feels on my nails - it actually DOES feel moisturising and nourishing just like when applying moisturising hand cream. I really love the idea of being able to wear beautiful polish that simultaneously cares for my nails.
Sally Hansen claim the Color Therapy system should last for up to 10 days on the nail. I did not wear these polishes for the full 10 days to test the claim, but I did have a few of them on for a full week / 7 days. The polish wears pretty well. The polish only suffered some tip wear (which is to be expected). Other then that, I had no major chips, and the glossiness of the polish did not dull at all. Really impressed!
My personal favourites from the Color Therapy line thus far are; "Blushed Petal", "Primrose and Proper", "Red-y to Glow", "Slicks and Stones", "Soothing Sapphire" & "Therapewter".
