SWATCH SUNDAY — Sally Hansen Color Therapy Slicks & Stones

Good morning lovelies & happy Sunday! & happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians!

I’ve been so busy with work I feel like I haven’t had a chance to really go check out the Fall nail polish collections near me. Winners is calling me. But in the meantime, I’ve been trying to pull from my own nail polish stash, & wear seasonal appropriate shades that I already own.

Case in point: this beautiful purple shade from Sally Hansen’s Color Therapy line — which I think I purchased back when the line was originally released circa 2016. This is Slicks & Stones.

2 coats + top coat.

First thing I noticed is the colour appears much darker on my nails than in the bottle. I feel like the beautiful metallic shimmer didn’t transfer as much to my nails as it looks in the bottle — but that could be down to me not shaking the bottle enough… maybe? Either way, I love the colour of this point. It’s deep, & dark, & purple. An absolute banger shade for these cooler October nights!

Close up. Again, you can see the difference between the shade on the nails & the much larger metallic glitter in the bottle. It’s a shame it doesn’t look exactly like the bottle, but the colour is so gorgeous & a little bit witchy.

So I’m a bit confused if this line is still available to purchase — I did find some listings on Amazon & it’s listed on the Sally Hansen website, but I can’t remember the last time I found it out in the wild, so your guess is as good as mine!

What do you think of Sally Hansen Color Therapy Slicks & Stones? Do you love this beautiful purple as much as I do? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below because I’d love to know what you think!

Happy Sunday ♥︎

Autumn Gloom Floral

Hello lovelies & happy Monday.

Autumn is in full swing, & I’m loving every moment. There is nothing better than the ‘Ber months. Flannel days, hot cider, all things pumpkin spice — I couldn’t ask for more.

Naturally I’ve been drawn towards darker colour on my nails, as you’ve probably all noticed. I decided, though, there wasn’t enough floral happening so I decided to hand paint some pretty floral on my nails, but still keep with the deep dark jewel tones which have been calling to me.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
  • Color Club Jewel of A Girl
  • & then a whole bunch of Color Club shades that don’t have names listed (purchased in multipacks at Winners/Marshalls)
  • NailStuff 7mm Mermaid Tail Liner Brush

I’m pretty proud of how these turned out. The colours really compliment the shimmery jewel tone of Jewel of A Girl, & pop very nicely. I did use a ton of shades for this look, but literally none (except my base) had a name on it. I actually have a lot of Color Club shades I don’t use very often because they’re nameless.

Maybe someday I’ll do some investigation to figure out what they’re names are, but today is not that day.

What do you think of this gloomy Autumn floral? Do you like this vibe?

We’re only a couple days away from October, so I’m already starting to plan what I’m going to do for the month — pumpkins, & ghosts & spooky vibes are definitely on the list!

Happy Monday loves. Enjoy it.
