REVIEW - SALLY HANSEN XTREME WEAR (IN DISCO BALL)

How about another glittery polish? 



After Christmas, there is New Year's. We all need shiny nails to ring in 2012.


I bought Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in "Disco Ball" a while ago. It has a creamy, clear formula filled with tiny dots of glitters. The polish looked so pretty at the store, I had to pick it up.


Sure "Disco Ball" looks like a (disco) ball of fun, but how did it perform? Here's the review:

(By the way, I paired it with a beige-colored base coat.)





Application

  • The brush was NOT exactly impressive. It took 2 - 3 strokes to cover an entire nail.

  • Formula has nice consistency.
  • Glitters applied evenly.
Shine Factor
  • Polish appeared smooth and shiny.
  • Glitters glistened brilliantly. Two coats seemed enough.

Drying Time

  • Drying time was impressive. It took about five minutes.

Lasting Power

  • As with most glitter polishes, this product did not last long. It chipped the next day.

Overall Impression

  • The polish looks pretty. Really pretty. But its quality did not live up to my standards.

Rating

2/5

Repurchase?

Maybe.

Now let's see some pictures:






 Have you tried Sally Hansen Disco Ball yet?

  1. I have that one! The only thing I didn't like was that the bottle got goopy really quick. Otherwise my experience with it was pretty good. No fast chippage either. I think that has a lot to do with what topcoat you use though. I still liked it :)

  21. Sally Hansen X-Treme Wear is actually my favorite brand of nail polish. MOST of the colors I have last me up to eight days with just minor chipping around the tops of my nails. I have noticed that the glitter polish doesn't last as long and it kind of fades after a few washes/showers.
