Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Golden Rule Review

Hya this is just a quick blog with photos about the new nail polish I received in my February bellabox here.

Firstly let me apologise for my stubby little nails, I could just about hide my head in shame and thought very hard before I published the following photos.  Soooo embarassed.

I work in athletics with children and need to keep my fingernails trimmed short and generally I only ever wear  nude/light pinks shades on my finger nails.  What I love to paint is my toe nails and this is probably where I would get the most use out of this gorgeous glittering polish.

The next photo is a swatch of Golden Rule with 3 coats and then one coat of Golden rule over a bronze nail polish that I can't remember the name of sorry!!

I don't think I will be giving my day job up anytime soon to be a hand model!!

The photo above gives you some idea of the different tones of gold through this gorgeous nail polish.

I actually painted three coats though I feel I could probably get away with two but I wanted to make sure the golden glitter showed up for the camera.  It is such a rich golden colour it makes me feel like my nails have been dusted with gold leaf.

Applies easily and drys quickly in between coats, the polish feels a little rough on my nails from the glitter but they also feel very strong.

Lovely glossy look with a gilded edge, I really like this colour.  This shade really comes into it's own at night under lights turning into a rich luxurious gold.  I think this would pull off a Little Black Dress with minimal gold jewellery perfectly.

This nail polish is suppose to be chip resistant but I will give you an update on that in a few days.  UPDATE: By day 4 I was noticing that some of the glitter had worn off around the tips of my nails, no chipping just general wear and tear.  What I like about glitter is that because there is uneven glitter coverage you don't notice so much.

I don't think I would wear this on a daily basis it's very glam but the more I wear it the more I love it.  I did apply one coat to my nails when it first arrived over the nude champagne shade I was wearing and it did look very swish, unfortunately I removed it before thinking of taking a photo to show you all, DUH!!

Please leave a comment below I would love to hear your thoughts or recommendations for some of your favourite Glam nail polishes.

    Oh, it is so pretty. Not overly yellow, as many gold glitters look. Should be great over a dark polish. I'm going to keep an eye out for it.

      Hya, I think it would look good over dark polish too. The other one I was thinking was Gold tips at the end of Silver polish, the other nail polish that came in the BB box this month was a beautiful Silver "Shoot the Moon" and it would go really well together.

    Love the colour! The glitter doesn't look as packed (?? I can't think of the word!!) together as they do compared to mine. Maybe it's the lighting and reflection that's making it seem that way. I'm surprised you used three coats though.

      It's layers of glitter, first coat was very sheer and the second coat still had gaps, so I added a third coat and really liked the coverage. It is a very sheer clear gloss with glitter basically. I don't think I will normally wear it with three coat, next I am going to use it over a dark base.

    thanks for the review :)!
    This looks absolutely gorgeous, it feels glamorously wearable. I look forward to your update on it's chip resistance later on, that seems to be the issue I have with most polishes! x

      Thanks Lily, it is very wearable, I thought it would be too much for the day but I just love it!! So far so good on the chip resistance but it's only been two days, my nails feel very strong though.
