Holy Grail of the Week (just passed): Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail color in Deep Purple

Everybody seems to love the Sally Hansen range of nail polishes, and over time, I've picked up a couple Xtreme Wear shades at those discount beauty stands, but I've never really worn them. It wasn't until Priceline were having a sale on Sally Hansen that I stopped by the stand and saw this color that I finally decided to take the plunge and try it out. Thankfully, I was not disappointed!

This color, Deep Purple, is a gorgeous, shimmery blue toned purple (one of my favorite colors) with finely milled glitter. I think this is a color that would be absolutely wearable for any skin tone, and would please fans of any shade! I found the polish was opaque with just two coats.

Now, I don't have the best luck with wearing of any brand of polish on my nails. Particularly with OPI shades, mixing with working at a supermarket, the tips of my nails are constantly being chipped and flaking away, which infuriates me to no end. This polish on the other hand, did not chip! It wore for at least five days with no problems, and when the tips did begin to wear, the polish faded away, and didn't chip off.

I was really impressed with this polish! I haven't tried any other colors from this range, but I am definitely going to purchase more. The shade range is amazing, and for $6-7AU, a great bargain! I really recommend going to pick some up.

Have you tried any of this range?

  1. so you use a base coat and top coat? it helps the nail polish last longer. I use zoya anchor base and seche vite top coat and they are amazing!

    1. I use an opi base coat, and either a maybelline or sally hansen top coat! I wish they would work, but maybe I'm just too rough. I've heard seche vite is amazing!
