I picked up a couple of the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes. I had stayed away from them because of the humongous brush...but I just had to get Mermaid's Tale. One bottle of polish is just so sad and lonely, so I picked up Jungle Gem to go with it :) BTW I used an old brush to apply the polishes.
Mermaid's Tale is a blackened-blue jelly based glitter with large blue & green glitter, as well as smaller, dark blue glitter. I've been told it is a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Across the Universe and it is similar to Milani's Teal, from the Jewel FX collection. The sun really shows off this beautiful polish!

Jungle Gem is a teal creme polish, with excellent coverage. I probably could have gotten away with one coat.
I really like the formula of both of these polishes, but the brush is a deal breaker for me...would probably not buy any more :(
I really want Mermaid's Tale (and a few others of this line) but they are charging € 10 over here for just 1 bottle!

I bought them both off eBay for 7.95. I just can't see paying 10 for a drug store brand polish.
DeleteMermaid Tears is a color I've been wanting. Such a gorgeous glitter! :)
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Lisa!

ReplyDeleteThey're both gorgeous! I have the Orly one, but have never worn it! I think I'm gonna do a jelly sandwich soon using Zoya's Frida. I dunno...anyway - great colors! ;)
I haven't done a jelly sandwich in awhile, good idea ;)
DeleteI really love Mermaid's Tale but I hate the CSM formula :/
ReplyDeleteI didn't really have a problem with the formula, but I really dislike the huge brush.
DeleteJungle Gem is favorite (:
ReplyDeleteIt's a great creme teal, I agree!
DeleteI just picked up Mermaid's Tale, it's gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteYou will love it, so easy to work with!
