I was so excited when I heard about these that I want to 15 different stores looking for them. I finally found them, brought them home, swatched them and forgot about them!
I don't know the name of the collection. All these colors are extremely pretty and definitely worth getting.
Flair. OMG Amazing purple! It's stunning- can you see the tiny blue and red sparkles? They're there, I promise!
Flash. Bright, luminous blue with little sparkles that flash in the sunlight.
Glow. Fantastic bright green with golden glow. One of the best light greens available, in my opinion.
Spark. A deep, bold navy with hints of purple and lots of shimmer when the sun hits it.
Vivid. Strange name for this color, don't you think? I love this color- it's a rich mahogany, or maybe it's cherry? It reminds me of some kind of wood. Red-tinged brown with red and hints of black. Looks amazing in the bottle AND on the nails!
I got mine at CVS, but now that they have been out for a while I've seen them in every major drugstore and grocery store. One caveat- it was pointed out to me that the bottles hold a deceptively tiny amount of polish- only 0.3 fluid ounces! For comparison, an OPI is .5 fluid ounces. The size and shape of the bottle makes it look like it holds a lot more.

I *just* bought Spark yesterday it's beautiful. Now I feel like I need flair too.
ReplyDeleteWow those look amazing! What store did you end up finding them in?
ReplyDeleteWoho, I painted my nails with glow last night:) that's cool! I love it!
ReplyDeleteGlow makes me drool. Big time!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours. I wish we had decent drugstores in the UK. I spent £60 in Superdrug this week and I didn't even get anything fun!
ReplyDeleteSteph, you do. LOL ;-)
ReplyDeleteTiffany, I finally found them in a CVS. I had looked there twice, but one day they had them!
Sanna, yay! I love Glow :D
Emelie, me too ;-)
Kittylamour, that's no fun! But you guys have Boots, right? I hear Boots is pretty awesome. I'm jealous of Canadians and their Shopper's Drug Mart! I've been to one a few times and OMG! Chanel and toothpaste, I couldn't believe it!
These are from SAlly Hansen's
ReplyDeleteLacquer Collection, an ultra shiney
line of brights and deeps with a jelly finish. A limited edition was released last summer (that's where I got my summer brights) and this year they released some more edgy colors.
Not bad for a drugstore brand..
Nice nails girl!
Thanks for the info, Sage1! And thanks for the compliment as well :D
ReplyDeleteHmm, Boots is OK but everything it more ££ than any US brands. Superdrug is better for shiny stuff and cheap things (We have 2True makeup brand with is all £1.95 each of 3 for £5) but that's kinda the only two cosmetics outlets there are outside of HE stuff. So praise be for H2T and 8ty8 and TD :D
ReplyDeleteVivid is stunning!
ReplyDeleteWhile I am generally not a fan of SH, these colors kinda renewed an interest in this line for me. My mom likes the formula, so eventually I'll pick up Vivid for her. I swear Vivid is a dupe for OPI Wine Me, Dine Me from OPI's '07 Holiday collection. At least it looked like it when I had picked up the bottle in the store while I was wearing OPI WMDM as my mani! Gorgeous color!
ReplyDeletehontapocasgreen on mua
Kittylamour, definitely, I don't know what I'd do without my 8ty8, H2T or TD!!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, it really, really is!!
Hey hontapocasgreen! It's a great color, I really love it. It is similar to Wine Me And Dine Me, but more brown, where WMADM has that kinda black/red thing going on. Both are awesome :D
Amazing colors! I'd love to have everyone of them!
ReplyDeleteSminkan, :D
ReplyDeletei would like to get vivid...but i think i have too many reds...sigh i might cave after ur pic! :)
ReplyDeleteOcelot1, I have too many reds also, but Vivid is SO PRETTY! ;-)
ReplyDeleteFlair makes me drool, it's so beautiful! I LOVE it!:D
ReplyDeleteIs Spark at all similar to Yoga-ta Get This Blue or MAC's Naughty Nautical? I have a tendency to buy the exact same blue over and over again.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I'd say Spark is somewhat similar to those, but not close enough to be a twin. Yoga-ta Get This Blue and Naughty Nautical are both bright, clean blues while Spark is kind of a 'dirty' purple-blue.
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks like I'll be adding yet another dark blue to my collection! Thanks!
