SALLY
HANSEN – Downtown Rubies
Hi
Goddesses
When I first saw this polish I absolutely
fell in love with it and thought I had found the perfect glittery red, and then
the next day I saw Smitten With Mittens!
Oh well.
Downtown Rubies is a glitter first and a red
polish second. This is the bit you need
to understand before you enter into a deal with this polish. It’s quite sheer – glitter in an almost sheer
red suspension. It’s going to take 3 –
possibly 4 – coats before you get the opacity you desire. And it spreads like snot.
Seriously.
This is a really hard polish to manoeuvre. It’s like treacle or tar for the nail, and
because it’s mostly glitter, it doesn’t spread well. It really was a pain in the ass to put on.
Once on though, oh she is pretty. She’s all glitteriness and sparkle and
blingaliciousness. She’s somewhere
between a pure red glitter and a glittery red – you’ll get a better idea of
where she sits in that spectrum from my sparkly reds post (here – Downtown Rubies
is on the pinkie).
I wore her, I loved her, but I’ve moved on –
sorry!
Enjoy J xx

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
