This is going to be a quick post, the laptop I usually post from is just not cooperating still. It randomly shuts down and is just not working for me today. I want to post my next giveaway tonight but that will happen depending on this darn computer.

Anyways, these are 3 colors I picked up from the Sally Hansen HD collection. These things are once again absurdly priced at $6.50 and up depending on where you go. The colors are very pretty and sparkly but they all had the same issues:

Sheer- these swatches are 4 coats. Most people don't really care for sheers so please SH, get that through your head.
Water consistency- Flash flood warning for my cuticles! I repeat flash flood!
Uneven application- which might go hand and hand with the thin watery consistency but if you look closely you can see what I mean. It kind of collects at the tips.
Pretty in bottles, not so great on nails- these all have interesting shimmery qualities in the bottles but once on nails I would like to know WTF happened to it?

These are gorgeous but I just don't have patience for them. I'm ready to swear off SH polishes other than Insta-Dri and the $2 Xtreme Wears. Maybe I'm just being a polish diva but I'm just not loving these.

Laser- this I thought would have some purple shimmer in it because in the bottle it does. Disappointing for me but still a gorgeous shimmery dark blue.

Byte- I thought this would have some blue flash but once again, nope.

DVD- in the bottle this is blue and purple with silver shimmer and I guess it kind of shows but not quite how I would have liked. I'm not too big on the silver look so I think this one is just a meh for me.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend, I know mine was very very busy!
