Plum Power Nail Polish by Sally Hansen

      Plum Power by Sally Hansen is a nail polish I have had for a long, long time. It is a dark purple polish that is quite "plum-like" with shimmers in it which give it a nice sheen. Two coats will you full opacity and longevity is around 1-2 weeks for me, a duration that is common to the Sally Hansen polishes I have tried, which is not bad overall for a drugstore polish that is on the lower price end. It applies easily so no worry about streaks or uneven application here. This is a color I usually wear during the colder months, fall and winter.

It's been too long since my last post, but please excuse the condition of my nail polish, as the pictures had been taken around a week after I had the polish on!

Hello everyone!

      I am back with another Birchbox post and this month's theme is Lighten Up. I got 5 products this month along with a sample of Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer.

Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Glosstini - Hunger Games Collection - Pyro Pink

Hello there!

      I have another polish post for you guys! It is Covergirl's Outlast Stay Brilliant Glosstini in Pyro Pink from the Hunger Games Collection. I have previous posts on two other polishes from the same collection that you can check out: Inferno and Violet Flicker.

 

      Like the other polishes I've tried in the collection, this polish has lots of fine silver and pink shimmers or microglitters, giving the polish a very nice shimmery effect. Also, the polish dries very quickly and applies very easily even with 3 coats of polish. I finished the polish off with Essie's Good To Go! topcoat, which is a fast dry top coat. I used 3 coats to get the opacity needed for my nails, but I think those with smaller nails can get away with 2 coats. I like that it's a darker pink color that's not in your face, making it a nice color for all year round. It has good staying power, like the other polishes, lasting well over a week without any chipping.
      It is a small-sized polish or mini polish that consists of only 3.5 ml of product. I managed to get the polishes for $2 or under each so it's not too bad if you can get them on a deal. How many of us actually ever use up all of a full-sized  nail polish anyway? I know this was advertised as limited edition collection but I still see them around in drugstores now so they'll probably still be around for awhile.
      Thanks for reading and have a nice day! :)
