To say that I was excited when I saw this post from Nouveau Cheap is an understatment! The new Sally Hansen Lustre Shine Nail Color looked so gorgeous to me. I was on the hunt for these!
I found these at Walgreens for $8.49 each. I thought that was a pretty steep price so I picked up just ONE to give it a try.
I was most drawn to Lava at the time, let’s take a look:
First of all, I LOVE the bottle, I think it’s unique and very pretty to look at at. Second, these drugstore nail polish continue to get smaller and higher in price! This one is just .33 fl oz, even smaller than the new L’oreal line, at an even higher price.
I’m not sure what you would call this, a linear holographic polish?? I’m not an expert but it sure looks like a linear holographic color to me!
See the photo below looks like a pink line and a yellow/orange line of color:
Lava is filled with micro-micro particles of color. It made me think of eyeshadow pigment put into a nail color base. There are no chunks or raised pieces of glitter. It makes for a very smooth application, I used 3 coats for good coverage.
I took so many pictures because…I LOVE THIS NAIL COLOR!
FYI: It looks exactly like this in person! Gorgeous and color changing and I can’t stop looking at my nails :).
Overall, as I said, I love Lava! I’m still deciding if I want to spend $8.50 on more of these. They are so unique though!
What would you do??
