Hey Peeps! It's taken me some time to get this post up, I keep getting sidetracked by random life things. Alas, I bring you 3 shades from Sally Hansen's new textured polish line, Sugar Coats. Arg, still not diggin' the textured trend. Regardless of my thoughts, I know that most of you like 'em so here we go! Btw, I purchased these myself to give you guys a bit more insight on the Pinkey Nails textured prototypes from my last review. Since I had yet to try textured polish, SC seemed to be the way to go. They're $5.49 a piece at Target, I've yet to see anything cheaper. Not sure how much JulieG Frosted Gumdrops are, but there aren't any Rite Aids in Oklahoma- so those are unobtainable for me. Check out these Sugar Coats though...
It does look like a bunch of sugar was poured into a bottle of polish. I hate the texture, reminds me of those crappy metal nail files. You know the ones I'm talking about right? Those grotesque, dangerous-looking things our moms and grandmas always carried around in their purses. Ugh. Maybe I'll use the Sugar Coats for some nail art, who knows. Next up is Cotton Candies...
Another awesome shade that, unfortunately to me, looks like someone ruined it by pouring a bunch of sugar or fine grade sand in the bottle :/ This one's formula was easier to work with though, it wasn't as thin as Razzleberry. Dry time seemed pretty good. Here's a closeup...
Hmmm, still not sold on the textured polish but it is a pretty color. Anywho, Let's have a look-see at the third Sugar Coat. Here's my personal favorite, if I had to choose a favorite that is...It is Sour Apple!
It's not too terrible looking, right? Sour Apple didn't give me any issues, the formula seemed good to me. It was just like Cotton Candies. I hate removal of these things though, I get sand or whatever that stuff is everywhere. Here's another closeup for ya...
I love the color, but as with the others - I doubt I will wear it, might implement it into some nail art or something. So, my opinions on the three Sally Hansen's Sugar Coats I've reviewed for ya today...It's pretty obvious, I don't like them. But at $5.49 a piece at Target, it seemed like these were the smartest choice for me. I didn't want to waste too much money on something I was already convinced I didn't care for. But like I said earlier, nail art- maybe. Look...
So, I noticed 2 of the Sugar Coats and one of the Pinkey Nails prototypes matched my yoga pants pretty good. FYI - I don't do yoga, but I've recently noticed another thing...I wear more yoga pants than anything :/ Well, what the hell? When I do work, I work from home so why not be comfy right? Besides, those are friggin CUTE. Anywho, I actually had fun creating that mani. And it didn't look too bad, think I managed to wear it like a whole day & a half before I removed it. Seems like the Sugar Coats didn't feel quite as rough by that point either. I'm hoping to find some nail art contests soon so I can make use of these things, they really did surprise me at how fun they were to play with. Something retarded that I noticed though...I've shopped at 4 different area Targets over the past couple weeks. ALL of the Sugar Coats Displays only have 4 different colors. WTF is up with that? I got all but Bubble Plum, I didn't like that color enough to justify it's purchase. Another weird thing, these area Targets all have the same 6 shade SH Fuzzy Coats displays! DAMNIT! I actually liked those things, so I bought all of them. Or so I thought. Till one of my readers on FB and my daughter both pointed out there's 8 shades on the site! I am annoyed that these other shades aren't currently available around me. I would most likely pick up a few more Sugar Coats, and I would definitely snatch up the other two Fuzzies :/ So....what's your opinions about Sally Hansen Sugar Coats and the textured polish trend in general? Have you tried any yet? Like 'em, love 'em, hate 'em? Let me know what you think in the comments folks, I enjoy hearing from ya! Oh, don't forget to enter my giveaway. I just added an international prize too, wooo! Click here to enter, good luck! Type at ya later peeps!
THat pink and the green one are such pretty colors, too bad their ruined by being textured. haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely with on you on not liking the textured trend, although the two I have, I love the colors of them so I want to try smoothing them out with top coat to make them wearable.
Top coat sounds like a plan to me :) Ugh, I hate the texture.
DeleteI loooove your matching nails with your pants!!!! Also your hand tattoos are cute! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love those pants lol! Some of my tattoos are the result of too much alcohol, specially those big ass flowers on my hand :/ Oh well, they're purple and bright yellow, so it helps that they're cute :)
DeleteI might get the green one to try, just cause I really like the colour and I figure if I hate the texture I can just use a topcoat hah :)
ReplyDeleteExactly! I was thinking about doing that with Sour Apple too, I really like that color :)
DeleteI think I am DONE with the whole textured trend unless they are super sparkly/chunky. I hate the popcorn ceiling type of textured polishes. I think there is a yellow one in this SH line that I kind of wanted to get but I think I'm going to pass.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I just figured out something....I like the black one, and I think I like all of them at Walgreens! WTF is wrong with me? I hated these things, till I figured out they're fun to make art with. And Lick-O-Rich, I dig the hell outta it :)
