Sally Hansen Colour Therapy Nail Polish Review

I received Ohm my Magenta and Powder room to trial, and I decided to go with Ohm my magenta first. It's not really a magenta though, I'd describe it as vampy, deep red. A gorgeous color with a femme fatale kind of vibe.

Holy moly the application was delightful. The brush is wide and dense, and deposits a perfect amount of nail polish. The consistency is probably a tiny bit thinner than normal, but I found that it actually made application less streaky. The color is super opaque, and after two coats it lieterally looked like I had acrylics on. (I was actually asked by multiple people if my nail were fake!) The longitivity is also stellar. By day 4 it had the tiniest of chips along the tips of the nail, but hardly noticeable. I decided it to remove it this morning, after a whooping 6 days! And even then, the chipping wasn't major. So now you're wondering, why didn't she give it five stars? Well the tragedy started when I noticed that the polish of one nail was lifting off like a sticker. So I commited the ultimate nail sin and lifted that whole piece of polish off. It was super satisfying in the moment , but to my horror I looked at the underside and it had taken the top layer of my nail with it O.O Yes, the polish had lifted the very top layer, it wasn't much, but it was terrifying. It didn't hurt or anything, and I guess it was just one layer of cells. But that'd never happened before and I'm never going to manually peel of nail polish ever again.

Aside from that though, removal was great! Despite its deep colour, it didn't stain at all and my nails feel relatively strong. I don't notice any major improvements but I guess one week isn't long enough to tell.

How lucky was I to get on this trial? Super Lucky!! I like Sally Hansen's products, I was introduced to her a few years ago in Australia with Gel Polish & I have tried other polishes here and there, but this range of nail polish takes them all out!

Firstly, the colours are good - it shouldnt be too tricky to find at least one for you. I got to try Soothing Saphire (deep gorgeous Blue) and Mud Mask (neutral brown).

The brush is fantastic, nice shape and width, meaning this polish is easy to apply with little strain - I hardly went over the edges at all!!

Quick drying - even after the second coat. Two coats are required, so be prepared for that. Do try to sit still, not itch anything and not have the sudden desire that you must do XYZ right now! If you can give it 5 minutes, you will be set for DAYS!

that is right DAYS - I managed to get the first colour to last near perfectly for at least 72 hours, then I did gardening and really put the pressure on. There was a small amount of wear at the tips earlier, but unless someone was inspecting them, you wouldn't know (pics are on the wall). I did also use the top coat and I applied the Cuticle & Nail oil daily.

When removing, there was no staining and the polish was easy to remove with a few wipes. My nails looked fine, not dried out or anything bad.

This is a polish I will have good confidence in - if I'm planning a nice night out, I could prepare my nails the night before rather than rush everything on the day.

Beauty Review sent me two Sally Hansen Color Therapy polishes "Primrose & Proper", a pretty pink and "Teal Good", the top coat and matching Cuticle Oil, and as I wear gel polish on my fingernails, I tested these traditional polishes on my toes.

In order to really test them out, I deliberately dehydrated my toe nails prior to receiving the Sally Hansen polishes, to the point where they started getting white dehydration marks (which do go away if cuticle oil is applied to the nail on a daily basis, for at least a week). When my parcel from BR arrived, I applied two coats of Sally Hansen Color Therapy in “Primrose & Proper”, with a nail art design stamped onto the big toe in Sally Hansen Color Therapy in “Teal Good” (these polishes are pigmented and thick enough to stamp well - see pic on Photo Wall).

The wide, flat brush made it easy to paint my little toes with one swipe of the brush, while my big toes only needed two swipes per coat, and the formula is quick drying, so by the time I'd done the first coat, I was able to go straight back to the first toe and start painting the second coat. No sitting around waiting for polish to dry.

One thing I don't like about the packaging is that the bottles have very square edges at the base. This makes it really uncomfortable to roll the bottles in the palms of my hands prior to use. I don't like to shake my nail polish and prefer to gently roll the bottles in the palms of my hands, to prevent air bubbles being trapped in the liquid. Obviously, this is something that the Sally Hansen packaging designers didn't really think about.

I wanted a good comparison between using the polish with cuticle oil and without cuticle oil. To do this, I only used Sally Hansen's Color Therapy Cuticle Oil on the toes on my left foot, as that was the one with the worst dehydration damage. I wanted to see what the oils in the polish would do on their own (on my right foot), without the added help of daily cuticle oil.

Well, four days after I'd first applied the polish, I noticed a chip in the middle of the big toe of my right foot (no cuticle oil applied to this foot). The polish on my left foot, where I'd been applying cuticle oil daily, still looked as good as it did on day one! I removed the Sally Hansen nail polish after 8 days, and my toe nails no longer had signs of dehydration (the white marks were gone).

Firstly the packaging of these nail polishes are super cute, with rose gold lid and glass packaging with a square bottom (similar to their other polishes such as the gel one) I have used 2 colours being Primrose and Proper which is a gorgeous pink shade and Red-y to Glow which is a gorgeous deep red shade. Both colours applied really nicely. The polish has a nice consistency that isn't too runny and didn't apply streaky at all. 2 coats gave even and opaque coverage. I also really like the brush that comes with the polish as it is quite flat and wide so it's covers a lot of the nail in one swipe and I found it really easy to apply. I finished with a top coat and I got 6 days of wear without any chipping, I only removed the colour after day 6 as I made slime with the kids which just stuck to the polish so I had to take it all off. I feel like it would have still given me a few more days of wear if I kept it on. My nails felt really good after wear, they have been long and strong following wearing the nail polish and usually after a few weeks of nail polish wear my nails will just weaken and break away and I have to start the growing cycle again. However with this nail polish so far so good. Overall I love this nail polish and there is a gorgeous range of shades so I will definitely be picking up a few more for my collection!

I love the colour range available in the Colour Therapy nail polish range. Sally Hansen polishes have a good sized brush, making for an even and easy application. For most colours, I apply two coats, although recently I purchased a deep shimmery purple, which benefits from 3 coats to get an even colour.

I have acrylic nails, so can’t comment on the Therapy part of the polish, but they certainly don’t damage or stain my acrylics at all.

I trialed two shades of this polish - Chai on Life & Aura'nt You Relaxed?

The packaging is beautiful, a really solid bottle with an attractive gold metallic lid. The labels are subtle and this bottle is easily displayable.

The brush is a good size, flat and wide but not too wide for the little finger. I found the brush took 2 strokes for most fingers. It is easy to overload the brush with polish which is something to watch out for!

The Chai on Life colour really surprised me, I don't tend to go for nudes but this is a great natural colour which is not peachy or pink. It is a cooler beige shade that is perfect for work. It also has a satiny pearl finish once it dries which I love! Again with the Aura'nt You Relaxed? shade, I wasn't sure it was me until I put it on! A beautiful bright coral shade and really opaque, I only needed one coat. The shade borders on neon but it a classy way, it's a really fun colour but also totally work appropriate!

I really like the formula, it is not thick, not watery but it is 'thin' or maybe 'fluid' is a better word. It spreads really well and is super easy to apply, just watch out for too much product on the brush as it does spread out. With the right amount on the brush it applies beautifully and not streaky at all.

With the Chai on Life nude I did apply two coats for a good even colour and needed a touch up here and there for a streak or two but for a nude it was good. The polish dries really well, by the time I finished the first coat I could begin a second. Two coats were dry to the touch after a few minutes and ready to go and do stuff after 10 minutes.

The polish lasted really well, I wore the Chai on Life with top coat for five days without a chip, I only removed it to try the other shade.

I think you would maybe need to trial this over a longer period to really tell if the formula improves nail condition, I didn't notice any improvement there, but it is a beautiful product and I will definitely be buying more shades!

I love wearing nail polish, and I was eager to try these polishes after seeing this new range profiled on Beauty Review.

I purchased these polishes in two colours: Therapewter, and Powder Room. They are a sparkly glittery green, and a pearly pale pink respectively.

I have worn both colours a few times and I am very pleased with the result. These are very hard-wearing nail polishes. They chip much less easily than all other polishes I have tried. They lasted on my nails for about 7 days before the first real signs of wear showed. That was with two coats on.

The polish settles down into a nice smooth finish and is very easy to apply. I love the broad, flat brush the polish comes with. The bottles are made of solid glass, and are in a round shape that gradually changes to a square. The brush handle is rose gold in colour and is slightly tapered, making them lovely to hold.

My nails are not damaged by this polish. Some polishes can be quite hard on nails, and a bit abrasive, but this polish feels kind to nails. My nails are quite weak, so it is important to me that they not be damaged any further. I haven't tried gel polish for that reason.

I am loving this polish so far. I think it is my new favourite polish.

I've been trialling Chai on Life and Red-y to Glow, the amazing top coat and also a gentle Sally Hansen oil. These have been great to trial because I really enjoy having statement nails but often have problems with my nails becoming brittle and the polish chipping off too easily. Well those aren't worries with these new Sally Hansen polishes. My nails have been slowly growing out healthier and less brittle after just two weeks use (2 applications of colour with a few days of just the oil between).

The colours are cute with Chai on Life being a very neutral beige tone, great for the office, and Red-y to Glow being a bright red that builds into a deep dark red with increasing layers of polish. The formulas are a bit strong scented, but not as chemically smelling as other polishes I've tried. It's also quite a thin formula, going on in very light layers. This means that I end up applying 3 thin layers instead of the recommended 2, just to built the colour I like, and I find if I apply the polish thicker it takes a long time to dry.

The shape of the brushes are amazing, only needing 2 swipes at my bigger nails and only one for my pinkies. The bristles are of sturdy material so they don't bend all over the place. However, given the wide end, the wand is quite wide also and I keep worrying about getting it back into the bottle without permanently bending the bristles out of place, or accidentally knocking the bottle over when not holding it.

This polish doesn't chip for days!!! I've had supposedly great polish before, chip resistant and all that jazz, but none have actually walked the walk. These do. Each application it's taken around 4 days before the first chip. On maybe the 3rd day the polish does recede from the tips of my nails slightly, but nothing noticeable by the casual observer.

I was stoked to be able to trial the Sally Hansen Colour Therapy range. When the package arrived I eagerly ripped it open. It consisted of 2 polishes, cuticle oil and a top coat.

I love the packaging. Classy looking glass bottles with square bottoms and metallic lids. They hold 14.7 ml of product. Nice wide, flat brushes which makes applying a breeze.

The 2 colours I got were a nude called Blushed Petal and the most gorgeous purple called Slicks and Stones. I was very happy with both colours but the purple is so striking and just happens to be my favourite colour.

I prepped my nails and applied the first coat, both polishes have a great consistency. They are very fast drying so the second coat can be done fairly quickly which I love. The brush is awesome and with 2 swipes on each nail I am good to go.

I applied Slicks and Stones on a Friday and by Wednesday it started to show wear on my tips and I had a small chip so I decided to remove it. So 5 days of wear with the polish looking great is really amazing! I definately do not get this with other polishes.

Both polishes were easy to remove and left no staining at all. I really love this range and look forward to trying other colours. Thanks BR for letting me trial this. A huge thumbs up from me.

Before I start I want to thank Beauty Review SOOOO MUCH for selecting me for this trial! This is my first trial team spot and I can't be happier. I have found the nail polish of my dreams! I was sent two shades of this amazing collection: Blushed Petal (190) and Therapewter (130). I was also sent the Cuticle oil (which I love), and the top coat (which had a downside but was alright) but the reviews for those will be up separately under the products.

I also want to mention that I stopped wearing nail polish regularly about 2 years ago as my nails started to go yellow and I didn't want unhealthy nails.

So let's start with Blushed petal (190). This shade is a shade I would personally buy for regular use! It's so soft and matches my skin tone quite well (olive/tan). The shade is quite light and a bit see-through but with 3 layers, I think it looked perfect! I also liked that it was partly see through for days when I just want the little bit of colour but nothing too bold (so I can just apply 1 layer). I love painting my nails but like I said, my nails were starting to become very unhealthy so I stopped. I'm hoping that this therapy argan oil formula will help keep my nails healthy while I paint them regularly. Anyways, I have been wearing this shade on my right hand for about a week now and it still looks like I painted them today even though I showered everyday and wash my hands 5-8 times a day! (I used it with the Sally Hansen Therapy Top Coat) The shade is beautiful! The brush is very easy to use but I found it too big to use with my left hand? Not sure why haha. The packaging of the bottles is also very cute and looks quite fancy! I like having them on my dresser -they look so pretty.

Now the 2nd shade, Therapewter (130). This is definitely not a shade I would personally go for but after wearing it for a week on my left hand, I don't mind it. The shade is a greyish-goldish-silvery-glittery shade (wow what a description hahaha). I think I would love to wear this on a GLAM night out! One of those nights where I want to feel pump up and feel like the queen of the party! haha. One thing about this shade though is that it started peeling off last night, I'm not too sure if it's because of me or the top coat or the nail polish or the bad application (one of those lol).

Both polishes go on very smooth and only need 2 applications - even one application looked amazing as is. They don't feel too heavy on my nails (if you know what I mean) and remove very easily with a normal nail polish remover (I tried this on one of my nails)

Overall, I loved these polishes. Here's what I'm going to do now: I will keep using them (esp. Blushed Petal) regularly with the Cuticle and Nail oil to see if my nails stay healthy and don't go yellow again. (Will def update this review as I continue my testing) If all turns out good, I will buy a lot more shades from this collection as they are miracle products! Seriously!
