NEW SALLY HANSEN COLOR THERAPY SHADES (MARCH 2018) - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Sally Hansen have introduced nine new luxurious nail shades to the Color Therapy* range. 

*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
Apply two thin coats of a Color Therapy Nail Colour of your choice to clean, dry nails; ensuring each coat is completely dry before applying the next coat.  

*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
Apply a thin coat of the Color Therapy Top Coat (when the nail colour is completely dry) to add a glossy shine and extend polish wear. 

STEP 3: NAIL & CUTICLE OIL


Finish by applying some Color Therapy Nail & Cuticle Oil to nails and cuticles for an instantly healthier, restored, and rejuvenated look.

I have 8 of the new Sally Hansen Color Therapy nail shades to review for you today :) 



RE-NUDE
Re-nude is a nice nude nail polish shade. 

The formula of this one is kind of crelly-like and sheer, and applies slightly unevenly and patchy. It is still easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail nonetheless. 

It builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats.


SUNRISE SALUTATION
Sunrise Salutation is a deeper nude nail polish shade.

The formula is fantastic! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It covers really well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in one - two thin coats.  


BURNISHED BRONZE
Burnished Bronze is a stunning bronze - copper nail polish shade. 
I love this one! Very trendy!

The formula is fantastic! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It applies evenly and self-levels well.

It covers really well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in one - two thin coats.  
Minor brush strokes* are slightly evident when this is applied, so I highly recommend using the three-stroke-method of application to limit the appearance / amount of visible brush strokes. *the brush strokes are hardly noticeable!


WINE THERAPY
Wine Therapy is a deep red wine colour with gold shimmer scattered throughout it. 
The combination of the saturated red and vibrant gold shimmer is so pretty, my swatch really does no justice!

The formula is perfect! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It's pigmented, covers well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in one - two thin coats. 


STEELY SERENE
Steely Serene is a neutral taupe nail polish shade.
A very flattering neutral I'm sure will appeal to many. 

The formula is great! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It covers well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats.  


IN MY ELEMENT 
In My Element is a gunmetal / silver nail polish shade.
Love!! I wore this the other day and added a shimmery holographic top coat - it looked even more amazing!

The formula is fantastic! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It covers really well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in one - two thin coats. 
Minor brush strokes* are slightly evident when this is applied, so I highly recommend using the three-stroke-method of application to limit the appearance / amount of visible brush strokes. *the brush strokes are hardly noticeable!


UNWINE'D
Unwine'd is a deep Bordeaux red nail polish shade. 
It's such a "sexy" shade of red ;)

The formula is fantatsic. The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It's extremely pigmented, covers really well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in one thin coat! 


PLUM EUPHORIA 
Plum Euphoria is a purple metallic multi-chrome nail polish shade. 
I cannot begin to explain how excited I was when I saw this nail polish. The multi-chrome effect (it shifts from purple - blue - green) looks magical in the bottle. I just wish the amazing effect translated more strongly to the nail. The multi-chrome effect is only (barely) noticeable at certain angles. It is still a super pretty purple though and I like it a lot.

The formula is great! The polish is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It covers well and builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats.

I have featured the Color Therapy range on here before and can genuinely say it is by far my favourite range by Sally Hansen. The Color Therapy nail polishes I have tried in the past have had generally fantastic formulas that apply effortlessly onto the nail, are easily opaque, and dry super quickly and glossy - these new polishes are no different! I really quite enjoyed the beautifully saturated autumnal colour palette of these new Color Therapy polishes. 

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 of these new Color Therapy shades are; "Burnished Bronze","Wine Therapy", "In My Element" & "Plum Euphoria". 

Treat your tips to a nourishing manicure with Sally Hansen Color Therapy!

SALLY HANSEN LIMITED EDITION RED CARPET COLLECTION COLOR THERAPY - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Sally Hansen have newly introduced six lush and decadent limited edition Color Therapy* shades; designed to make an impact this red carpet season. 
Inject some Hollywood glamour into your life with the Sally Hansen Red Carpet Collection.

*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!


I have all 6 shades from the Red Carpet collection to review for you today :)



WELL, WELL, WELL 
Well, Well, Well is a bright stark white nail polish shade. 
Now this is a bright white! It's so stark it looks like liquid paper. 
I could see this one being great for the base of nail art.

The formula is perfect - it is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It's extremely pigmented and has amazing coverage. 
It builds up to full opacity nice and easily in one - two thin coats.


STEELY SERENE 
Steely Serene is a neutral taupe nail polish shade.
A very flattering neutral I'm sure will appeal to many. 

The formula is great - it is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats.


HAUTE STONE
Haute Stone is a dark brown-green nail polish shade with red iridescent shimmer scattered throughout it...in the bottle!

Despite how pretty it looks in the bottle, the shimmer unfortunately does not translate to the nail very well. It is there, but only noticeable in certain lights and if you actually look for it. 
It's a pretty colour, but if you're going to purchase it based on what it looks like in the bottle, I would suggest you reconsider. 

The formula however, is perfect - it is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It's extremely pigmented and has amazing coverage. 
It builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two thin coats.


RE-NUDE
Re-nude is a pretty nude nail polish shade. 

The formula is almost crelly-like, but it is still easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 

It's a little sheer and patchy but builds up to full opacity nice and easily in three thin coats.


UNWINE'D
Unwine'd is a deep Bordeaux red nail polish shade. 
I love this one! 

The formula is perfect - it is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It's extremely pigmented and has amazing coverage. 
It builds up to full opacity nice and easily in one - two thin coats.


GOOD AS BLUE
Good as Blue is a deep royal blue nail polish shade.
Such a beautiful shade of blue!

The formula is perfect - it is easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 
It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It's extremely pigmented and has amazing coverage. 
It builds up to full opacity nice and easily in one - two thin coats.

I'm totally loving the Color Therapy range and quite like this collection.  

The polishes in this collection are 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.

My personal favourites from the Color Therapy Red Carpet collection are; "Well, Well, Well", "Unwine'd" & "Good as Blue". 

So excited that Color Therapy is finally available here in Australia and cannot wait for more shades to be released! Definitely recommend trying them out!
