Sally Hansen Colour Therapy Nail Polish Review

I was lucky enough to be sent two polishes, the cuticle oil and the top coat to trial from Beauty Review. And this is definitely one of those products I will be purchasing more of as a result!

I was sent two colours that I normally would never choose. I spent the first week wearing Blushed Petal (190) and the second week wearing Teal Good (460). And I am impressed! Blushed Petal is a peachy-nude shade – I love neutral polishes but I thought this one was a little too peachy for my skin tone. I did actually grow to quite like it especially adding a statement nail. This will be a great shade for summer though so I shall be reusing it then. The Teal Good colour, again, is not something I would usually pick myself. However, after applying and wearing for a few days, I actually kind of love it! It is a deep teal shade – both warm and bright. Perfect for winter and have actually had random people compliment me on the colour!

The polish lasted around five days before I started noticing some chipping along the tips of my nails. I am usually terrible with chipping my nail polish but I haven’t had any chipping anywhere apart from right on the tips of my nails which to me is just normal wear and tear. So it appears to be reasonably long lasting and on this alone I will purchase other colours.

This polish is pretty standard in how it applies. When I first used the Blushed Petal I found it went on quite streaky and after applying the top coat (despite leaving my nails to dry for quite a while) it only made it worse. So I removed the polish the next day (of which it came off super easy and I was really impressed with that – I had having to scrub off nail polish) and reapplied being a little more generous with my application. This second time it went on a lot easier with very little streaking. I did not have this same issue with the Teal Good colour so this may just be because of the lighter nude shade. I found two coats to be about right for both of these polishes. One didn’t quite provide full coverage; two coats provided just enough coverage without being too thick.

These polishes claim to care while you wear. I had doubts about this but I actually found my nails are looking better! I have terrible nails – they break constantly, have crazy noticeably ridges all over and peel. So really, my nails couldn’t get any worse! So far, my nails have grown! When I removed the first polish to trial the second, my nails were looking a little less ridge-y (smoother) and they didn’t peel like they normally do after removing nail polish. I will attribute this to their argan oil formula as most other nail polishes often dry out my nails; I haven’t had this with this polish.

Overall, I will definitely be buying more of these polishes. They lasted well considering my nail polish track-record and the colours, despite me initially not really liking, have grown on me and actually look really good on! The only task now is to decide which other colours to buy!

I reviewed the two shades Pampered in pink and Teal good. Pampered in pink is a really pretty hot pink shade (ideal for summer) and Teal good is a dark teal shade. The nail polishes come in a standard glass nail polish bottle, but is very pretty. The lid is rose gold making this nail polish look rather luxurious.

The formula is a good consistency and isn't too gluggy. The applicator brush is a standard nail polish brush allowing for easy application. I found the nail polish applied on really nicely. I apply two coats to make sure my nails look nice and bright, I apply one coat and then wait 2 minutes before applying the next.

After applying all coats of the polish I wait until the polish is dry and then apply the colour therapy top coat. Unfortunately when I applied this is did smudge some of the polish underneath even though my nails were dry, I found there was less smudging when I used a less amount of top coat.

Once the process was complete my nails did look really nice and the nail polish was really glossy looking and opaque.

I don't feel that I have used this nail polish for long enough to notice any effects from the argan oil however my nails appear healthy after using this and aren't cracked or brittle which has often occurred for me when using other brands of nail polish.

Overall I really enjoyed reviewing this nail polish. It is definitely one of the best ones I have used and I highly recommend.

Woohoo lucky girl i got sent two great colours plus the top coat and the cuticle oil!! Chai on life - 180 is a great neutral colour and Aura'nt you relaxed - 320 is a yummy peachy pink colour. Great size bottle that feels really sturdy and classy. 14.7ml. Love the brush its a shorter bristle than a lot of other brushes and it helps it go on really well and hold a bit more polish. I found it super easy to apply. Strong scent as most polishes have but not enough to make my husband leave the room (which he usually does) With both colours i did exactly the same. Cleaned my nails, applied two coats allowing time to dry between coats and then on one hand i apply top coat and on the other i don't. Im really keen to see if the top coat makes a huge difference or not. Drying time seems similar to most polishes but i tend to do it at night and head to bed straight afterwards.

Love the colours and i get comments on both of them as they provide quite a nice sheen and actually make your nails look great - almost like you've got a gel nail done from a professional!

3 days i get from the hand with no top coat, chipping around edge of my nails and it starts to come away from around my cuticles too. 5 days from the hands with the top coat before it starts to wear away at the edges. So id say its best to do the top coat. Im impressed at how long it lasts as my hands get a hard time with cleaning, dishes and id had a busy few days at work too. Im currently trying it on my toenails and I'm 4 days in so will see how long that lasts as I'm usually wearing polish on my toenails for at least 3 weeks this time of the year :)

Definitely keen to try some other colours as i do think it helps your nails. Super easy to apply. super easy to take off with no stains. And looks great! Well done Sally :)

Oil - Nice consistency. As per instructions I applied on the cuticles as well as nails every day for a week and massaged them. After just a day I could feel a difference on my nails. They were looking healthier. After a week the nails were a nice pink with a healthy glow. I have a problem with my cuticles with the skin peeling off. While I was rubbing the oil, I had no more issues with skin peeling. But a day after I stopped applying the oil the skin started peeling off again.

Top Coat - It did what a top coat is supposed to do. Couldn't make out the difference between this top coat and the others I normally use. It worked and I would use it again.

Nail Polish - I got a couple of other friends to try the two shades along with me. They found the pink too thick but loved the silver. I liked both shades. Both lasted around 10 days with the top coat on.

Primrose & Proper - A nice shade for day time. Nice consistency. What I liked about it was, having an olive coloured skin, not every matt pink looks good on me. But this one did.

Therapewter - A nice shade for day and night. I loved this colour. Silver is my weakness and this one is just awesome. Both a single or double shades look good. I will definitely be buying this.

I was lucky enough to be chosen for this trial and received two fill sized bottles of nail polish along with a bittle of Top Coat and Cuticle Oil. The colours were Mud Mask, a brown neutral and Aura'nt You Relaxed? a bright coral. Bottled in a squarish, sturdy bottle, the product itself is a good consistency, not too thick and not too thin. The star of the polish is the brush. Flat and square, it dispenses the perfect amount for each nail. I found that two coats were enough. Usually nail polish will past two days before chipping, but with this polish i was able to last four. I'm not sure if this was the polish or the top coat, (which i'm not a fan of), and the argan oil ingredient seems to work. My nails didn't feel as dry as usual when i removed the polish. I'll definitely look for a coiple of new colours from this range.

I loved testing out the Sally Hansen Colour Therapy Nail Polish colours which I was sent, and was overall very impressed with these polishes!

Mud Mask is a gorgeous colour, a very muted brown which would be great if you're wanting something more professional/corporate/basic. Super chic.

Pampered in Pink, as the name suggests, is much more fun and out-there — a bright, bold, hot pink, total Elle Woods colour.

Both of these colours applied super easily and evenly, largely thanks to the helpful, flat-shaped brush, and dried surprisingly fast. In terms of wear they lasted an average amount of time — maybe three days before I noticed slight chipping going on? Overall very happy with these and would buy again!

I was lucky enough to be sent two Sally Hansen polishes, a top coat and a cuticle oil to trial.

I was sent Soothing Sapphire (a lovely, rich, shimmery royal blue colour) and Rosy Quartz (a baby pink). I really like the fact that there was argan oil to help nourish the nails. The bottles are beautiful - thick, square glass bottles that look so luxurious with silver tops.

The brush is wide and soft, allowing for easy and even application. I find that the pink is a bit sheer and needs 3 coats to be opaque, but 2 coats would be beautiful if you want a sheer polish. The sapphire is a beautiful shade that is opaque with 2 coats and perfect for fall/winter (or even a party!)

I feel that drying time was standard, and each polish lasted about 6 days on me before chipping, usually they would last around 4 days. I felt that they did indeed care for my nails when I was wearing them, since usually when I remove them, my nails tend to be drier and almost flaky. This was not the case with these polishes.

Both polishes were easy to remove and didn't stain. Overall, I love the ones I was sent and will be looking for more in this range!

Nail Polishes - Rosy Quartz - this is a really nice light pink natural colour that would work well for doing a french nail, I just used it over the top of my natural nails and it actually made them look really nice and healthy without looking overdone. My nails weren't in the best condition when I used this colour, due to having damage from acrylics and gels but when I took it off after a week they were looking in a much better state. I did get some chipping/peeling but it wasn't too bad and it wasn't particularly noticeable either, probably due to the light colour.

Ohm My Magenta - wow this is a really bright magenta colour and definitely stands out. I kept noticing my nails all the time when I used this and it was a nice bold colour that got quite a few compliments! Again I did have some issues with it starting to peel off abit after about 4 days, even with the top coat and I had to take it off day 5 as it was starting to look abit horrible, but again I was quite pleased to see my nails looking noticeably healthier and in better condition.

Overall both are really lovely colours, I was also really impressed by the size of the products, they are quite big for a nail polish so I feel there is good value here. They also dry very quickly!

Over a year ago I tried jamberrys. Love the concept but just couldn't get them to stay on. After I gave up my nails were weak, always peeling and ripping off. I tried a few products to heal my nails but nothing worked. Had a bit of success with cuticle oil, the peeling wasn't as bad. I resigned my self to weak naked nails. I even had a gel manicure done and they still ripped off. Nail polishes never last more than 24 hours on my nails, even high end brands. Then I saw the article about these color therapy polishes and got really excited, I was of course sceptical but oh so hopeful. I mean this is 2017, our nail polishes should be amazing by now haha. I begged to be part of this trial, if they worked on my nails, after all I have tried etc, then they must be amazing. The cuticle oil was a nice oil, I took note of the fact you don't use before applying the polish. So I left it on for a bit then washed my hands. I was interested in the polish brush, short and stubby, but it actually made applying the polish a lot easier. It dried so fast, faster than the quick dry polishes I have tried. The top coat took a little longer but still fast. I tried the color slicks and stones which I love, a dark purple with a touch of glitter. Hubby loved the colour too. The result was amazing, wowsers, the polish stayed on for nearly a week, that doesn't happen to me,!! Best of all, my nails did not peel or rip at all!! I can't believe it. I am speechless. How did it work?? Wowsers!! I am going to chuck out my collection of useles polishes and stock up on this stuff. As a busy mum having pretty nails is a treat, but now I know it will not only stay on for more than a few hours, as well as continue to strengthen and heal my nails, I'm gonna have pretty nails all the time. THANKYOU THANKYOU. Sally Hansen Color Therapy, you did it!!!

I picked up this Beauty from the last Beauty Vault . Many times I have gone into Farmers and thought of buying this nail polish.

The packaging comes in a clear bottle. Labelling is gold . I got this dark Navy Blue colour. The consistency of this nail colour is a medium to thick thickness. Has this nail polish scent like chemicals.

I find it dries after five to ten minutes application. Two layers of nail polish is the perfect amount of layering . After removal my nails aren’t tinted . They feel good not dry.

I was impressed with the formula of this nail polish. I can see myself purchasing more colours in the near future.
