These pretty Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Spring Racing polishes are more shades I didn't get a chance to share before I left for HK so better late than never right haha. These are limited edition so you might still be able to find them hopefully! The collection consists of 7 gorgeous Spring shades and I have swatches of two of the polishes from the collection - Peach of Cake and Tickle Me Pink.


What they say:

"Seven Spring Racing inspired shades of premier polish. As the ultimate colour authority, Sally Hansen has always set the trends when it comes to nail shades. This season is no different – the latest Sally Hansen shades are perfect for spring and are designed to make a statement. From pretty pastels to chic neutrals these new limited edition shades of Complete Salon Manicure are sure to have you race-day-ready this Spring."

Peach of Cake is a deep pastel peach creme. Any polish with "cake" in its name should be a winner lol. Sadly Peach of Cake isn't a total winner as it's a bit patchy so I recommend thin coats with a few minutes between each coat. 2 coats is pictured.



Tickle Me Pink is a super pigmented magenta creme. Bright and girlie and a very cute name! 2 coats is pictured because I applied it wonky however 1 even coat would definitely suffice!!



Overall: I have been loving the Complete Salon Manicure range this year and I really enjoyed these pretty Spring shades! They dry quickly to the high gloss shine that I love and they wear pretty well. I wish Peach of Cake had been a little less streaky but it's worth being patient with. Tickle Me Pink is that perfect shade for when you're going out but you have naked nails with only 5 minutes before you have to race out the door. One easy coat and you're done! Clearly I have too much time on my hands because yes I have specific shades in my stash that are dedicated to this category Xp

Details: The Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Spring Racing collection is available from Priceline and Priceline Pharmacy for $9.95 for a limited time only. Take a peek and other Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure shades I've swatched here!

Some quick nail art for you today! I saw this gorgeous half moon mani by Sam from A Curiousity last week on Instagram and decided to give it a go myself on the weekend. It's such a sweet combo!


I used 2 coats of Hello Darling Sugar & Spice and I freehanded the half moons using a striper brush and Sally Hansen Complete Manicure Golden Rule. It's definitely not the neatest half moons but hey glitter hides a thousand sins!!


What do you think? Thanks for looking as always!! =)

Hellooooooooo ladies!! I hope you're all having a good start to the week. I'm getting my blogging mojo back so expect more regular posting from me! I've been making regular trips to Chemist Warehouse lately to buy supplies because I stupidly burnt myself and of course I can't go past the (often random!) beauty bargains that they have there. One of the bargains I came across was the gorgeous Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in Parrot which was only $5!!! It's from the Sally Hansen for Tracey Reese Spring collection from last year which I don't think has ever actually been released here in Aus.


Parrot is a beautiful grass green creme. Isn't it gorgeous and Spring-ish!! It applied really well and is pretty pigmented and dries to a glossy finish. I think it'd make for a nice green apple manicure! 3 coats is pictured and I had to add a coat of Seche Vite to smooth over a dent lol.

Details: I bought it for $5 from Chemist Warehouse but it was the last bottle at the store I went to and I haven't seen them at any other Chemist Warehouse stores unfortunately! Best to do a hunt ;) They had a few other shades from the collection but Parrot looked the most interesting.

My blue and green collection is growing nicely now!! What are some of your favourite green polishes? Thanks for looking as always! =)

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Mermaid's Tale is a polish I've been wanting for a while as it's a dupe for my beloved Deborah Lippmann Across the Universe (I used it in my Feeling the Blues mani here) as I like to collect dupes for my favourite polishes for some reason lol. I picked it up when Priceline had their 40% off sale a few weeks back even though I tried REALLY REALLY hard not to buy anything!


Mermaid's Tale is a gorgeous dark blue jelly filled with blue and green hex glitters and smaller blue microglitters. Here I've layered 2 coats over 1 coat of Misa High Waist Hue (my "underwear polish") and 1 coat of my HG navy creme LAKA 81. I don't have many swatches for you unfortunately because 95% of my photos turned out absolutely crap hence only 2 lol. You can see I had a bit of tipwear because I didn't seal my tips and I used Seche Vite which didn't agree, I also took these pics on Day 2.
