Hello ladies,
The Sally Hansen Salon Spring Collection has finally made it to Philadelphia. My friend Lisa and I have been on a grail quest for this release since March! When I walked past the display in CVS late Thursday night, I swear the entire bottom shelf of the end cap had a holy aura. I could also possibly attribute the glow to florescent lighting or my perception altered by an excess of caffeine. I'll let you decide based on the photographic evidence. Behold, Honeydew!
My pictures of Honeydew are color accurate. I can't say as much for the name. Perhaps honeydew growing on planet Neptune are blue green with a frosted white shimmer. Maybe my Neptunian theory will account for the time it takes Sally Hansen Salon polishes to be distributed. When intergalactic travel is factored into the release date, five months doesn't seem unforgivable.
The application of the Sally Hansen Salon line has improved since I last purchased their Fall collection in late November. The dry time has quickened and I had no issues with bubbling using my favorite base and top coats (CND Stickey and Air Dry). I had sheet marks with Stormy Blue, but Honeydew suffered no such injuries. I can't compare the formula to the Winter release since it never arrived locally. I used three coats here, but I feel like two would easily suffice.
For your amusement, I took the photos at Longwood Gardens. There were many people out with their cameras yesterday documenting the butterflies and blooms. Curious photographers spied on my efforts thinking I was keeping some natural delight for myself. Their presumptions were correct, though they all seemed confused that I was crouching in front of a patch of orange yellow with a bottle of nail polish and my fingertips as a focal point.
Here is my contest reminder for new readers: Enter to win a bottle of NYC Nail Glossies in Molten Metal. The contest is open to followers and e-mail subscribers.
Thanks ladies!
