Sally Hansen Steely Serene

I have one of the polishes from the new Sally Hansen Color Therapy collection. This Color Therapy line includes argan oil that nourishes and moisturizes nails. It's not only a nail polish, but a treatment too. I can't make claims on the treatment factor. I use a treatment base coat by Sally Hansen's called  Nail Rehab Rx as a base coat already, so my nails have been in good shape prior.

I will say, I don't normally test out wear time before I swatch them for the blog. There are just too many factor that can contribute to that, however, this polish has some serious staying power. I was really impressed. This may not be the case for everyone (the whole many factors part), but it certainly caught my eye.


Steely Serene 

 Steely Serene is a medium putty (grey-nude-purple) creme.

Collection: Sally Hansen Color Therapy 2017

Color: I LOVE this color. You know I'm still on the nude-neutral train and this is an amazing neutral shade. It's a very chic and flattering color. I could easily wear this all the time and it would go with everything and always look classy.

Formula: This had a smooth and easy to apply formula. I used 2 coats above.

Price: I paid around $7-$8 for this at Target.

Overall: This wore like iron on me as well as another color from the line. I got around 6 full days of wear time with this without any chips. No chips at all. I had some tip wear and my nails grew out a bit on the bottoms, but no chips! I was shocked and very impressed. That on top of the gorgeous color and formula makes this a great polish. I highly recommend this color or at least trying a polish from this line.

KBShimmer Office Space Collection (Full)

* I received 4 of these polishes exchange for my honest review. I purchased the other 4 in this collection. 

I have the new KBShimmer Office Space collection to share with you today. This collection will be released tomorrow. I was really excited to hear KBShimmer was releasing this because it's a collection of neutral shades. I'm all about nude and neutral colors and I'm happy to see indies starting to dabble in this shade range. I was only offered 4 polishes of these to review but decided to purchase the other 4 to complete the collection I was so excited about it. Let's get started

Caught On Tape

Caught On Tape is a pale mauve creme. (2 coats)

Cubicle Pusher 

Cubicle Pusher is a muted holographic grape shade. (2 coats)


Fax Of Life

Fax Of Life is dark platinum grey polish with a linear holo. (2 coats)

A Hint Of Manila

A Hint of Manila is mega flame holographic vanilla/soft tan shade. (2 coats)


Makin' Copies

Makin' Copies is a pale silver with white shimmer and linear holo sparkle. (3 coats)

Staple Relationship

Staple Relationship is a deepened grey polish with silvery flakes and holo sparkle. (2 coats)


Supplies Party

Supplies Party is a warm cream shade loaded with metallic flakes and holo sparkle. (2 coats)

Take Back CTRL

Take Back CTRL is a dusty rose creme. (2 coats)

Collection: KBShimmer Office Space Winter 2017

Colors: I love this office space theme and the colors match it perfectly. This collection has a great mix of nude, neutral mauves, and gray/silver shades. I like the variety of neutrals offered in this collection. The variety of finishes is a plus too. My favorites in this collection are Cubicle Pusher, Take Back CTRL, A Hint of Manila, and Staple Relationship.

Formulas: These all had great formulas. The cremes were spectacular and easy to use 2 coaters. The other formulas were great and easy to use. Makin' Copies was the only color that needed 3 coats for me for opacity, but the formula was still good.

Price: These will be $9.25 each and are available on KBShimmer's website tomorrow!

Overall: I'm very impressed and pleased with this collection. I love the theme and the colors. I forsee nude/neutral shades picking up more momentum in 2017 and I appreciate indies jumping on that bandwagon. This collection offers a variety of different types of nude/neutral shades and finishes to really suit every taste, skin tone, and occasion. I would really like to see a sequel of this collection or another nude/neutral collection from KBShimmer later on because I can't get enough of colors like these!
