Sally Hansen Holiday Prints

Hello friends!  I'm back from a small vacation to Florida for Thanksgiving... got to meet my boyfriend's family and spend some time on the beach.  Now that I'm back, I'm hoping to get back on the ball.  Let's start off with a great press release from Sally Hansen!



SALLY HANSEN INTRODUCES A NEW TWIST ON TRADITION
WITH HOLIDAY EDITIONS OF SALON EFFECTS REAL NAIL POLISH STRIPS

THINK: Festive, fast, no-fuss nail color.

WHAT THEY ARE: Limited-edition holiday prints of Sally Hansen’s hit, Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. When Sally Hansen first introduced its peel-and-apply nail polish strips, the manicure breakthrough took the world by storm. Now Sally Hansen introduces trendsetting prints exclusively for the holidays, putting the spirit of the season at your fingertips. Like all the prints in the Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips collection, the five festive prints let you peel, apply, file, and go, delivering a real-polish manicure without mess or stress. Whether you’re playing Santa and stuffing a stocking or heading to the party of the moment, these seasonal strips are the ultimate accessory.

WHERE TO FIND THEM: Sally Hansen products are available at chain drug stores, food stores and mass merchandisers nationally.

Color Club Perfect Mol-ten

Just two more in the Foiled collection and this is Perfect Mol-ten, a green metallic foil.  It's a bit of a cross between a mint and a forest green.  Formula was very good.


I used a base of Zoya Get Even, and 1 coat of polish.  I did not use a top coat.


In the sun, you can see the reflective surface of this polish - great for stamping in Konad so I've heard.


In the shade, you can see the color a bit better... I think this could be a great Christmas color.


Finally a slightly blurry indoors photo with the flash.  Not my favorite but not a bad color.


Have a great Thanksgiving week to all my American friends!
