Currently Loving: Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Holiday Collection

by Amber on December 14, 2009

Can you believe I’ve never worn a Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No-Chip Nail Color?  At least not that I can remember!  Why didn’t anyone whack me over the head with a skillet and paint my nails with one of these shades while I was out?  They’re awesome!  As I was wearing “Mon Cheri”, the perfect Christmas-red with micro-glitter glimmer, I could see why so many avid Beauty Junkies rank these fairly high on Total Beauty–almost an 8 out of 10 at the time of this post.  The brilliance and shine of the colors make them totally gorge, and it’s not the easiest to chip up in my opinion.  My keyboard-clicking, sink-to-the-dishwasher hands were pretty resilient with minimal wear and tear after 4 days, and probably would have made it to 7 with a little more wear had I not been swatching other colors.  Check out these shades from the holiday collection:

Candlelight — super-shiny opalescent glimmer in a sheer base
Moonlit Glow – silver glimmer in silver base
Toast of The Town — champagne glimmer
Love Match — rose-bronze glimmer
Mon Cheri — cherry red glimmer
Hopeless Romantic — burgundy glimmer
Timeless — blue-red with slight shimmer
Lovestruck — dark wine/burgundy cream

Those are so pretty! I love Sally Hansen nail polish, especially the line that has the neon colors, like blue and yellow.
