Get your metallic on with Sally Hansen

Sally Hansen Metallic Nail Polish Colors

Metallic's are on fire this summer and Sally Hansen introduces three superstars to the collection.  Gilty Pleasure - a gold with gold glitter, Bronze Ambition - a bronze with silver glitter and Shooting Star - a silver with silver glitter.  These metallics are drenched in silver flecks making the texture a tad bit chunck but none the less gorgeous.

Why pay more?  These three additions retailing at $4.99 each are great alternative colors to some of the pricer metallic polishes out there.  All three colors should be available now at your local stores or Sally retailers.  Check out the photo swatches below.

Although the texture is on the chunky side, it's not as bad as China Glaze's ink collection.  I really disliked the ink collection due to the gritty and chuky feeling on my nails - I prefer a smooth clean application.  All my swatches were used with two coats and had no application issues.  When you apply additional coats, say 3 or 4, that's when the chukniess may come in.  But, nothing a top coat won't fix!

I wanted to get some swatches up real quick and I'll be posting individual swatches later this week.

Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July!  Mine was kinda blah - it rained and rained but that didn't stop the fireworks.

I have dressmaker, but I will definitely be running out and grabbing Teddy Bare! Great post!

I tried Deluxe Chocolate last week and loved it! Wicked will be my next mani. And I've been thinking about ordering the new Fall rose shades, but they don't seem very fall to me.... so I haven't decided yet.

Those are great dupes! I've always had good results from Milani, so I think I'll be looking for Dressmaker. I don't own any Chanel, and don't expect to either.

Great post! It's very helpful. I already have the Jordana (which is the same as the Milani Dressmaker) so I don't need the Chanel which is impossible to get a hand on. Thank you so much for this comparison!
