Finally . . . Sugar Coat!

Further to my post all the way back in July (here), it only took four months but . . . (drum roll please) . . . Sally Hansen's Sugar Coat has finally arrived in Australia.

I guess my curiosity got the better of me and I just had to know what they were like (even though the abovementioned post demonstrates how you can create a homemade version of your own).

These polishes are relatively easy to apply, fairly quick to dry, and look fantastic.  Here are the shades:


Bubble Plum

 
Sugar Fix

 
Sour Apple


Cotton Candies


Cherry Drop


Razzle-Berry

There is also Lick-O-Rich, which is black, but my poor fingers got tired of being swatched, so I'll show that one another time.

Another important note is that the collection which has been brought to Australia is missing the yellow shade, Sweetie.  I'm not sure why Sally Hansen feels the need to leave out shades, but it's very annoying!

My favourites from this collection are Cherry Drop, Razzle-berry and Lick-O-Rich, as I believe the darker shades show the texture a bit better than the lighter ones.

I also learned that overseas (i.e. the northern hemisphere), Sally Hansen has released a new range of Sugar Coat colours (as seen on blog Oh Three Oh Four here).  I like the shades from this collection even more than the original, but I suspect they won't hit the shelves in Australia for at least another six or seven months (so I guess I will have to wait).  Until then, I think I can have some fun with these ones!
