Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat - Part 2

And here are the rest of the swatches for the Fuzzy Coat collection:

300 - Peach Fuzz (on top of Models Prefer - Love to Shop)

100 - Wool Lite (on top of Models Prefer - Little Black Dress)

800 - Tweedy (on top of Australis - Indie)

 

I don't know if I can pick a singular stand out in this collection, but I can say that Wool Knot's formula was the least easiest to apply and also find a base colour for.  The rest I am absolutely delighted with and feel like I need to buy back-ups!

 

But, yet again, there is the mystery of the missing polish from the collection - Fuzzy Fantasy! Sally Hansen, why? I called a few Priceline stores in the Sydney CBD and asked whether they had Fuzzy Fantasy, only to be told that it wasn't even part of the kit they had been sent. So it begs the question, are we being sold leftover products that didn't sell in the Americas and the UK/Europe? And why release some polishes in some countries, but not the full collection? Infuriating. Ah helooooo nail polish companies - we have the Internet and can see what you're releasing overseas, duh!

All in all, I am extremely happy with these polishes. They're funky, on trend, and something completely new to dress your nails in.

Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat - Part 1

Fuzzy. Coat. Has. Landed!

For a while I have been admiring various swatches of Nails Inc Feathers polishes, but that's all I could do as the brand doesn't sell in Australia (unless you buy it online).  Slowly, new swatches started accompanying the Nails Inc ones, and my hopes started to rise . . .

After seeing their Fuzzy Coat swatches, I even went to the extent of contacting Sally Hansen on Facebook to enquire when Fuzzy Coat would be available in Australia, and was told "soon".  I thought that meant 6 months . . . but, unlike Channel Nine's ad campaigns for TV their shows (Underbelly - Squizzy/Big Brother/The Great Australian Bakeoff/Arrow), they are actually here now!

Spotted (and snatched up) in Priceline this week - introducing:

200 - All Yarned Up (on top of Essence - Absolutely Blue)

500 - Fuzz-Sea (on top of Sally Hansen Insta Dri - Chartreuse Chase)

700 - Wool Knot (on top of Savvy - Candy Pink)

400 - Tight Knight (on top of Savvy - Watermelon Crush)

Glitter City

Continuing on with my glitter polish obsession, here are a couple of Savvy polishes I found on a discount shelf in Priceline, that I hadn't seen before.

Glam & Chiq (no flash):

Glam & Chiq (flash):

Glam & Chiq is an almost sapphire coloured glitter polish, with a translucent blue base, scattered with various shades of blue glitter, along with a dispersing of a lighter, almost violet glitter. It's very gritty, so if you choose to pop a top coat on, it would require a few coats, however, I chose to wear mine without, as grit doesn't bother me too much. I also chose to wear it on its own without a base colour - I think doing this enables you to see the different types and sizes of glitter contained in the polish.

I can report that they managed to stay in tact during my day in the office without any chipping. Although, removing the glitter at the end of the day was another story.

Rock & Roll (with flash):

Rock & Roll (no flash):

Rock & Roll is a glitter polish with almost holographic properties.  Set in a black translucent base, there are several sizes of gold glitter which catch the light and sparkle in a rainbow of colours.

I chose to wear this using Sally Hanson's Complete Salon Manicure in Midnight in NY to give greater contrast to the gold glitter, and boy, did it give contrast.  I would say that it's the most "blingy" polish that I own.  I love it!

I also decided to try it over various shades of green/turquoise (see below), and while it didn't work over the lighter shades (due to the black translucent base), it didn't look too bad against the darker ones (Jordana - Boy oh Boy and China Glaze - Turned up Turquoise).
