Eel Skin by Sally Hansen

I bought this nail polish for the bargainous (is that even a word?) price of £1.99 from a discounted cosmetics shop in the next town over from me.  Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes usually retail at £6.99 at Boots so £1.99 is amazing value!  The only thing is that the discount shop usually have discontinued polishes but to me thats no bad thing, it means you can get polishes from there which you can't buy in Boots.  I really, really wanted Delphinium by Sally Hansen which I know someone else had bought from there the week before, but it was long gone by the time I got there :(

Anyway, on to the actual polish.  This is a light grey colour, very similar to one I have from Rimmel called Grey Matter.  I am always on the look out for a light grey polish as I think they can look amazing, but I have never found one that is light enough for my liking.  This one included unfortunately.  To me it just looks a bit dull on.  Not light enough to be interesting, not dark enough to be dramatic. 



So not my favourite colour then.  The consistency of the polish is ok, a little thick to apply but it did even out after two coats.  As always the really wide Sally Hansen brushes are great as you only need a couple of swipes to cover the whole nail.

So thumbs down for the colour and the polish itself is ok.  Don't all rush out to buy this at once will you!

Next up is Effervescent Opal by Revlon.
Until then,
