It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels well. 

It builds up to full opacity nice and easily in two - three thin coats. 
It dries quickly and to a matte finish. My swatch shows it with a coat of glossy top coat.

I don't normally wear polishes that are this orange toned, but this will have to be an exception. 
I really like this one!

I absolutely love that the SCOUT polishes are a healthier nail polish choice infused with vitamins, superfoods and essential oils and no nasty chemicals. I also really like the concept of the nail polish being breathable and water-permeable yet chip-resistant.
So, the formula's are good, they are vibrant on the nail, fast drying, chip-resistant and healthier for your nails - what more could you really want in a nail polish?

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 XTREME WEAR "DREAM SCENE" COLLECTION SHADE EXTENSION - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Experience a spectrum of classic, trendy and wearable nail colour, combined with an unforgettable shiny finish and long-wearing formula; with the new Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 'Dream Scene' collection. 

I have the 6 new Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Dream Scene shades to review for you today :)

RED-ICAL ROCKSTAR

Red-ical Rockstar is a bright red-orange nail polish shade.

It's so bright it's almost neon!

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

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

CAMEL-OT

Camel-ot is a camel / tan neutral nail polish shade.

It looks like it has the slightest delicate silver shimmer scattered throughout it, giving it a little "something something" on the nail (it's barely noticeable unless you're looking for it).

The formula of this one is a little weird (it's almost sheer / crelly-like). 
It applies slightly unevenly and patchy.  

It builds up nicely to full opacity in two thin coats.

DAYCREAM

Daycream is a neutral ballet slipper pink nail polish shade. 

I love how feminine this looks on the nail. 

The formula of this one is also weird (it's kind of sheer / almost crelly-like). 
It applies unevenly, streaky and patchy, which is pretty standard for this shade of polish.  

It builds up to full opacity nicely in two - three thin coats depending on application. 
I highly recommend using thin coats, the three-stroke-method of application and trying to not over work the polish, for best results.

I love the colour, but i'm really not digging the formula of this one, which is disappointing!

ON CLOUD SHINE

On Cloud Shine is a delicate pearlescent pink nail polish shade with flashes of gold undertones. I am OBSESSED with this one!

I have already worn it three times since I got it, which says something!

The formula is great. It applies evenly and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 

This polish would be best worn as a topper over another nail polish. 
It literally transforms any polish to pearlescent goodness. It's seriously amazing!
It is quite sheer so I doubt it could be built up to full opacity on its own. 
I personally enjoy the delicate effect of one coat on my bare nails. So pretty!

My swatch shows three thin easy coats on it's own.

DROP THE BEET

Drop the Beet is a deep fuchsia / "beetroot" pink nail polish shade. 

I love love love this one! It's so pretty! 

So perfect for this time of year!

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

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

ROCK MY WAY

Rock My Way is a chocolate brown nail polish shade.

I don't typically gravitate towards browns, but this is a good'un.

The formula of this one is almost crelly-like which is strange, considering the nature of the colour. It is still easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. 

It isn't streaky or patchy and it self-levels well. 

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

*  *  * 

I like the classic colour palette in the Dream Scene collection, but to be completely honest, this Xtreme Wear collection did not "wow" me as much as Sally Hansen collections normally do; it was just kind of "meh" to me. It could be because the formulas of these Xtreme Wear polishes aren't as amazing as the Complete Salon Manicure, Miracle Gel and Color Therapy formulas I have become accustomed to. It's not the worst nail polish I've tried by any means, but it's definitely not the best (in my opinion). 

My personal favourites from the collection are; "On Cloud Shine" & "Drop the Beet".

Go to the "extreme" with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polish.
Which shades will you be picking up?
