Sally Hansen Diamond Strength, Champagne Toast, Nail Growth, Protective Layer, Sheer, Shimmery Pink Nail Polish

Excellent. Beautiful color and shimmer!

I love the color and durability of this product; however, I like the stickiness of the nail polish, and it is ability to protect natural nails it doesn't tarnish the layer of the fingernails which is marvelous.

Long lasting and beautiful color.

The polish is very sheer, 2 or 3 coats are needed or used over a solid color. It has just the right amount of sparkle. It's not high glitter but a subtle sparkle. Now for the negative, this polish does not last more than 2 or 3 days. It starts to chip, even with a base coat. With a top coat, it helps but not much. Still, I will continue to purchase because I love the color that much. It dries fast so I just reapply every few nights while watching TV. If you need a polish to last a week or more, this is not the one. 5 stars for sheerness 2 stars for longevity and 4 stars for value since I go through the bottle quickly.

Perfect!

Pretty but chips very easily, within days, wouldn't put the pink over the white, strips I had trouble with.

Pleasantly surprised by the attractive container with a jewel ornament. Also nice color and price

In theory, this sounds great! However, it doesn't work quite as it claims... 1. Place the stickers on your nails and paint on the white tops using the pen. Seems simple right? WRONG... Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, I cannot prevent the white polish from going underneath the stickers. I have attempted it many times. The best I can do is press the stickers on very very tight, and use the white pen as quickly as possible with one swift draw. Even so, I still get places where it goes through the sticker and looks stupid. In addition, you need to put on a second coat with the white pen otherwise it just doesn't look right. Unfortunately, the second coat makes it go through the stickers even more. So then you are left with the dilemma: one coat with less dripping, or two coats which is needed and more dripping. Still haven't found a good solution for this yet. 2. After the white tips are dry and you've peeled off the stickers, you are then supposed to paint over the ENTIRE nail including the white tips with this pink color... Sounds weird? That's because it is... So, if you paint over the white tips, you guessed it, it turns the white tips into this off-white nasty color. Unacceptable for a french manicure. I tried one coat and two coats. Obviously the second coat turns the white tips a horribly ugly cream color and one coat leaves gaps in the base of your nail. I did find a solution to this however, I painted my nails with the pink color up to the white tips. It's not perfect, but it's better than the alternative cream colored tips. I did try painting the nails with the pink first, and then placing the stickers and doing the white tips. That did not work at all. The stickers pulled off the pink paint so it looked ridiculous. 3. Cover whole nail in clear coat. No complaints here. On the flip side, I have not had any issues with my white pen drying out. As I said, I attempted this many, many times trying to get it just right, so the pen got it's use. Still wet and workable. The stickers have two tip types so you can choose flat or curved which is nice. Ultimately, with the flaws, I'd still rather do this at home than pay for it at the salon so I'll continue to use, but I'm going to continue to work on solutions for the problems, and perhaps try another system next time.
