SWATCH SUNDAY — Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Dark Hue-mor

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday! The last Sunday of September, which is kind of crazy. Spooky month is just a few days away, & I can’t wait to start all the spooky nail designs I can come up with!

Today tjough, I’m sharing another new shade I recently picked up. Shoppers Drug Mart had the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure line on sale a few weeks back, so I decided to treat myself. I’ve been on the hunt for a deep dark navy blue, so when I saw this beauty I knew I needed it! This is Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Dark Hue-mor.

2 coats + top coat

Formula on this beauty is smooth & easy to apply. To easy coats for full opacity. As you can see, I’m rocking very short nails right now due to a bad break while at work, so I feel like I need to cheer myself up with pretty nails.

& I love a dark navy blue so much. It makes a great base for nail art, or looks just stunning all on its own.

Look at that darkness. It’s so good! It reminds me of another favourite dark navy blue — Essie After School Boy Blazer.

I actually think Dark Hur-mor is actually darker on the nail than in the bottle, which I love! Usually I feel like it’s the other way around. Also — I had almost zero issues with removal. A lottle bit of blue in my cuticles after the first swipe, but that was it (& easy to rectify).

Sally Hansen Comple Salon Manicure Dark Hue-mor is part of the core collection, & available anywhere you purchase Sally Hansen nail polish. It generally ranges from $10-$16 CAD depending on where you buy it, & if it’s on sale.

SWATCH SUNDAY — Quo Beauty Xtreme FX Midnight Magic

Merry Christmas Eve lovelies! & Merry Christmas to those who Santa has already visited. 🎄

Today I’m excited to share an early Christmas present to myself. After a very long Christmas season, I decided to buy myself a little pick me up & hit up my local Shoppers Drug Mart for something sparkling. This is Quo Beauty Xtreme FX Midnight Magic.

3 coats + Essie Speed Setter Top Coat

This dark purple jelly shade has a thin consistency & is packed with multicoloured metallic glitters. Originally I thought they were holographic, but they’re is just a variety of different colours. The formula is a very thin jelly, which allows the glitters to build up & show through the layers.

Because of the thin consistency, I did need 3 coats but they dried down very quickly. & the use of quick dry top coat helped speed things up even more.

The dark purple definitely does mask this shade a bit, but I still adore it. This shade reminds me a bit of Icing Disco Lights, but with much smaller glitters. It’s a fun little touch of sparkle.

For my Canadian friends, you can purchase this & other Quo Beauty shades at your local Shoppers Drug Mart or via their website. This one is currently in stock online & there were lots at my local Shoppers, so you should definitely be able to find it! I know I’ll definitely be going back after Christmas to pick up Stargazing or The Party — which were the other two I was deciding between.
