NOTD - Back to the Fuschia by Sally Hansen

First of all I just love the name of this polish!  Back to the Future has to be one of my favourite films of all time, so this play on words is very funny to me.



The colour is very fuschia, very bright shocking pink.  The bottle has a hint of purple shimmer when you hold it up to the light but this does not translate much onto your nails, the polish has more of a creamy finish.

I love the colour but I am not sold on the consistency of the polish.  One of my main bugbears about nail polishes is when they are not truly opaque - even after a couple of coats.  After two coats of this polish I can see still the shadow of the whites of my nails underneath the polish.  I hate that.  It also started to wear off the ends of my nails within 24 hours of putting it on, even with a top coat.

A lot of people rave about the brush with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes.  It has a very wide large brush to enable you to cover your whole nail with only a couple of strokes.  For a clumsy person like me though, all this means is that I manage to coat the sides of my fingers as well as my nails.  Not sure that is the desired effect!

All in all this is a nice polish for those who are feeling very bold and daring.

Next up is a complete change - Basil Street by Nails Inc (a neutral cream/brown).

Until next time,
