As I mentioned yesterday, I won't have many posts this week due to my balls up with managing my swatching schedule. I usually swatch on a weekend which didn't happen this week! Doh!
Today I have the only Sally Hansen polish in my collection...the glorious Amber Ruby from the Nail Prisms line. Wish I had some more of these, once again I missed out.
So I may have missed out on most of these, but I have this one, and it's a goodun :-) Amber Ruby is a red/orange/gold/green/ duochrome. This has a super thin formula, this is 4 precious coats. The application brush was horrendous, just a thin strip and extra long due to the shape of the bottle.
So the Prisms line was released in 2002. What has the polish world been doing in the last 10 years!? There hasn't been a collection line like this since. Yes there are long discontinued brands which contained duochromes/multichrome polishes, but Sally Hansen's Prisms line contained over 40, YES over 40 polishes! including shimmers and holos. It puts Models Own Beetle juice collection in perspective really, just a small dot on the duochrome world map.
All I have to say on this matter is,
Dear Santa
For Christmas, could I please have the resurrection of the long discontinued Sally Hansen Prisms. I've been a really good girl and I think they would look pretty on.
Thank you very very much
Love
T xx
It's very unique. I've never seen anything similar to this color :)
ReplyDeleteI only have one of these polishes as well; Fire Opal. I've only ever used it once, its so thin and like you said the brush isn't the best, but you've managed to get great swatches with yours, it looks lovely :) xx

hope Santa will hear our prayers.. T_T
i love Sally's Prisms too..
Fantastic duochrome colours. A pain that it takes 4 layers though. I don't have any old Sally Hansens, just a few relatively recent ones, but some of them are pretty good eg. DVD.
ReplyDelete@neelai good swatches :-)
ReplyDelete@andy,Haven't got any of the Sally HDs although DVD does look a goodun
ReplyDeleteOMG! I have this on my wish list! Super pretty!
