I LOVE the Xtreme Wear line from Sally Hansen! First off, they're only $3. They carry a wonderful collection of colors, have excellent formulas, and have a nice wide, flat brush that makes application even and easy. Red Carpet is a beautiful shade of deep, ruby red with tons of sparkly microglitter particles that remind me of Dorothy's ruby slippers. (which I think it should have been called instead) I got decent opacity from one coat and perfect opacity from two. The finish is a little grainy and textured due to the glitter, but I'm sure it's nothing that can't be fixed with a glossy topcoat.
I think it's the perfect color for the holiday season, which is great because I'm considering wearing it to a wedding I'm attending next weekend. :)
Haha, finally someone else that doesn't wear a basecoat! I sometimes feel like a freak for not caring :p
ReplyDeleteNice color!
the xtreme line is soooo awesome! i love the wearing power and the colors they have, this one included
ReplyDelete@Pearl: Haha, I do like nail polish, but I'm too lazy to be hardcore enough for base coats, top coats, etc.
ReplyDelete@socialitedreams: yup! and they're having a sale at CVS right now, BOGO half off!
Wow, I just bought this at target then saw your blogpost when I came home! It's such a perfect holiday red. On a totally unrelated note. What do you think about Unii palettes?
ReplyDeleteHi Bria! Haha, seems like we have the same taste, excellent! :D I didn't even know what an Unii palette was until you mentioned it. Now I totally want one! My train case is a cluttered mess, plus, all my makeup no longer fits in it, so having an Unii palette would make storage so much easier! Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteYes, they look amazing. I've been wavering on purchasing one for myself since they came out. They were sold out for the longest and recently came back. I'm thrilled to finally be able to have one.
ReplyDeleteAaaaah! Jealous! I'm totally going to get one now! :D
ReplyDeleteThis Sally Hansen nail polish sure is a good price deal! I have the exact same polish! Unfortunately for me, I hate it. :( I personally find that brush is way too thin and way too long!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm just too used to OPI's brush. I swore to myself never to buy any other brand since I always end up disappointed... But then, when I see an interesting color, I really have to hold myself back!
That's a shame! Maybe you can find an OPI dupe? :D I love the color, I feel so glam with it on my fingertips. So much prettier in person than in pictures!
