Sally Hansen Triple Shine: Hypnautical

purchased by me

Sally Hansen's newest line of polish is the Triple Shine line, which is now available.  The only color I got from this line is Hypnautical, a barely-blue tinted jelly packed with blue-to-green flaky glitter.  The formula was surprisingly easy to work with, not too thick but packed with glitter--no dabbing needed!  I used one coat over Maybelline Blast of Blue on my index and middle fingers and two coats of Hypnautical on my ring and pinkie fingers.

Maybelline Color Show: Blast of Blue

purchased by me

Blast of Blue was part of Maybelline's Color Show Color Goes Electric Collection, which came out in Spring of this year for Fashion Week.  It's a gorgeous metallic royal blue, almost opaque in one coat, but two deepened and enriched the color.  The formula was easy to control, and it was super shiny without top coat.

Revlon Parfumerie: Lavender Soap

purchased by me

Lavender Soap is from the Revlon Perfumerie line, and it's another softly colored frost, this time in a super-pale lavender.  The scent is a sweetened floral lavender, with no noticeable soap notes.  Lavender Soap was a bit more prone to brush-strokes than Fresh Linen, and although the formula was easy to work with, I don't think I'll keep this one.  The color entirely too light-colored on the nail and at three coats it's too much work for ordinary use.  All swatches are three coats.

Revlon Parfumerie: Fresh Linen

purchased by me

Fresh Linen is part of Revlon's new Parfumerie line of scented nail polish.  It's a pretty off-white shimmer verging on frost that smells like ozone and musk, which is a fairly standard combination for "clean" fragrances.  Fresh Linen was a little bit brushstroke-y, but not too bad, and I had some VNL at three coats.  Overall, I like the scent, which was very soft and unobtrusive, and I like both the color and the finish for a change from my ordinary bold colors/finishes.

Glitter Daze My White Lighter

purchased by me

My White Lighter is a soft, translucent white base packed with baby blue glitter.  It's opaque and satin matte at three coats, a bit thick but not unworkable, and it glows blue-tinged white in the dark.  I really adore this polish!
