Review: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear - Navy Blue

I'm going to re-take all the pictures for my best/ favorite products of 2010 (white background looks cleaner) later tonight. So here's a nail polish review, please note that this is a recycled review, I first reviewed this product on my Luuux account, but I've re-reviewed it, no opinions have changed but the words are phrased differently~ 

base coat, 3 layers of nail polish, top coat

products used

 one of my favorite nail designs using this nail polish, it's super simple and SUPER SPARKLY =D

 (sponging technique with glitter nail polish, no tutorial sorry)

How I applied this nail polish:

1) 1 coat of Revlon Base and Top Coat

2) very sheer coat of navy blue nail polish

3) a thick coat of navy blue nail polish

4) final medium coat of navy blue nail polish evening out the polish for an overall even coat

5) top coat

Product: Sally Hansen - Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear - Navy Blue

Finish: shiny shimmer

Color: 5/5
I love the color, it's a dark navy blue that looks like a shiny navy indoors and a sparkly navy blue with a hint of silver purple outdoors or with flash photography.

Brush: 4/5
The brush is no good for sheer coats, it becomes really streaky but works great for thicker coats.

Opacity: 4/5
This polish is quite opaque, but if you stick you hand up to bright lighting it's slightly translucent 
(light entering from the back of your nail) 

Price: 5/5
I can't remember the exact pricing of this polish but it's really cheap, around $1.99 - $2.99 for 11.8 ml
(that was the price when I bought it... but the current Shopper Drug Mart price is around $3.99-$4.99 I believe)

Overall: 4/5
I love this polish, it's definitely a pretty && versatile color that would work for all skin tones and the price is decent! I love that it's dark && can be mistaken for black in certain lightings =D If I ever run out of this color I would most likely re-purchase~

The END!!!


p.s there's a "purpose" to the next couple nail polish reviews~
