Nails I Love
SALLY HANSEN – Delphinium
Helloooooo. This is actually my first Sally Hansen post
and the first time I have worn her.
Being a bit of a snob, I’ve always looked down on cheaper brands, and in
the UK we only see her really cheap stuff rather than this, from the Complete
Salon Manicure line.
Firstly, even before
we get to the polish, can we just take a moment to applaud the bottle. This feels like splendour. Solid, chunky, round AND square, with a
lovely silver wand, this just looks plush.
And talking of plush, the brush is ah-may-zing! The widest brush I have
ever seen, you can load this up and do half a hand easily. Big fan.
Big likey. I also love that all Sally
Hansen’s have the name label on top of the wand, so that when you’re peering
down at your collection, you can easily find the one you want – genius, and so
obvious!
And so the
colour. Delphinium is a lighter than air lilac, a
low-cal confection of warmed hot air.
Super soft, super light and super subtle, this also has a beautiful
purity. It’s lilac with just a hint of
grey to take the brightness away, and fits beautifully between OPI’s Planks A
Lot and Essie’s Nice is Nice. Goldilocks
would love this – it’s not too dark, and not too pale; it’s Just Right.
In the bottle, it
looks like ice cream – all smooth tranquillity and elegance.
I’m really happy
with how this looks on my shorter nails.
I also think it’s a great office colour – understated but wowing at the
same time.
The accent nail is
another Sally – Mystic Lilac (she’ll be stealing her own show later in the
week) and I used SH Twinkle, Twinkle on the thumb and middle finger.
TT by the way is one
of the prettiest glitters I own – a beautiful swirl of silver and blue glitter
of medium and micro sizes.
Hope you like this
one! J
