Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat

Tried this in the pink, it looked fantastic in the bottle, went on easier then I thought it would and wasn't too rough on the surface. The joy started when I tried to remove it and felt like I was rubbing my cotton bud against sandpaper, even thinking about it now makes me turn up my nose. That alone would put me off ever using it again!

Saw this in Farmers couple weeks ago, so couldn't resist buying it. I tried it a couple days later and found it just didn't give the coverage that I had expected, It's not what I would call fuzzy but more textured long bits of coloured glitter. I kept it on for a couple days and then thought it would look really nice with a colour underneath. Was a bit difficult to get off but I just kept the cotton pad on my nail a bit longer that helped wiping it off. I choose OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender, thought it would look nice with the pink (wool lite) and now I'm impressed, looks adorable. I would definalty purchase a couple more have a play with different colours underneath.

I have 3 of the fuzzy coats, i use them for layering over other colours. You would need a few coats to get the complete fuzzy look, personally i wouldn't do this i just like them layered over other colours.

I am a huge fan of Sallys and they never disappoint but this one is just icky!

First of all it's meant to be fuzzy. It looks it, it feels it - yuck! But it's not worth it. The bottle on the outside promises you a lot- but ladies be warned and save your money.

It does look nice if you are able to apply it appropriately where it will dry in time, not so thick to peel off etc. It looks both nice on its own, or paired with a matching base colour. But that wasn't enough to win me over.

It's really thin and watery and doesn't spread well on the nail as it doesn't pick up much "fuzz" from the bottle. I find that to get the fuzzy look I need to do about 3-4 coats of this - if not more.

Drying time is extremely long. Because it is a thin consistency and you have to apply so many coats, it takes forever to dry between coats, and I find - literally - if I don't sit there for 2 hours letting it dry completely it will wipe off very easily.

Once it is dried, I find that it comes off so easy with just picking it. I hardly get my nail under the polish and it flies off and lands on the ground - so not long-lasting either.

It is also incredibly hard to take off. If you think glitter polish is a hassle, you got another thing coming! I found that trying to remove it off like a normal polish with a cotton pad doesn't budge. You have to really really scrub the surface of your nail. This only transports the fuzz from your nail to your skin, where it sticks like super glue. I found that even after washing my hands 10 times, I was still finding a fuzz here and there. The best method to remove the polish is as you would with a glitter polish - wrap your nail in foil. It works better, but you still get the annoying fuzz on your skin.

I adore Sally Hansens nail polishes they really seem to work for me so when I saw this in sale bin at Farmers I snapped a couple of colours up alongside side one of Sally Hansens Sugar Coat so price wise this was a real bargain!

Unfortunately I was really dissapointed with this nail polish.

I love Sally Hansens nail polish bottles designs and handles/brushes they are perfect for applying in one or two strokes. That’s about where my joy for this one finished.

I got my nails ready, filed/trimmed (I didn’t used a base colour I awanted to get this opaque on its own). That was probably a mistake.

It came out a lot thinner and more watery than I had expected, I had to do about 4 coats and some nails had to have an extra coat to get this opaque on my nails and that made it feel really thick.

The drying time between each coat felt like forever (I think im too used to quick drying nail polishes) you really had to make sure each coat was dry well before applying the next the brush just didn’t seem to pick up that much of the glitter/fuzzy bits at a time I really think you would be far better off using a base colour under this and using this as a top coat for a bit of added sparkle or maybe a feature nail !. I also think it is a bit more a glitter polish then it is a fuzzy polish.

I chipped this about an hour after putting it on. I fixed that up and gave it a day or two but it really didn’t wear well on me, I work in an office so im continually using my hands to type and shuffle things around and I also spend a bit of time at the gym with weights so they knocked around a bit and after those two days most nails had chipped.

Taking this off was a whole different story ! This is about 1000 times worse than trying to take off a dark nail polish or even the sugar coat !. This took a fair bit of manpower to get off and I managed to get fuzz/glitter everywhere yet with a lot still remaining on my nails. I wonder if a nail remover pot or something wouldn’t be better that you dip your nails into it - I can safely vouch that neither cotton balls or buds were ideal for the job.

Overall I wouldn’t recommend this to a friend or buy this again unless you were after a detail nail or just some added glitter to your base coat.

This nail polish is not something i would normally use, let alone buy. I'm not sure why, but nail polishes like this have never appealed to me, that was until i saw my friend wearing it and her nails looks awesome! So i knew i had to give it a try.

The colour i use is white, grey and black, and although its called fuzzy nails, it really doesn't give your nail a fuzzy look. In fact the texture of this nailpolish is quite hard to describe. Its almost like tiny shredded bits of confetti, or something. I know that sounds weird, but that's they only way i know how to describe it.

Anyway, you can clearly see the textured nail polish through the clear bottle, so at least you'll get no surprises there. As for the rest of the packaging. Its pretty standard with a simple metallic lid.

Application, well i guess you could say its time consuming. The way i use this nail polish is i put a base colour coat on first, and then put two to three layers of this nail polish on until i get good coverage. The reason i put a base layer down is because i normally only use this as a feature nail versus using it on all 10 nails.

The results. Well i think this gives nails a really cool effect. As well as that, its lasts a good 3 days before chipping, and i found that it dried pretty quickly (especially since i used three coats).

Overall a pretty decent nail polish, with a unique look.

sally Hansen is a reliable brand and they offer some really great products such as sally Hansen nail Harding which has done wonders for my nails after all the years of having acrylic nails done every time I have them done it always brings my nails back to where I want them to be and this new nail polish is gorgeous it almost gives a gel like look to it looks thick but smooth gives texture to the nail as if you have stick on s on

I was really looking forward to trialling this. First coat went on weird but I thought, it says 2-3 coats so wait and keep applying. Even waiting quite awhile between coats it was patchy and felt like sandpaper. I experimented a bit and ended up trying it on top of another polish. I also found that it peeled off easier when by itself, yet when trying to get it off with remover, took a few buds.

I saw this product on my last visit to Farmers and was intrigued with the “fuzzy coat” concept so when I was picked to review it I was super excited! :D

I decided to try it on bare nails to start with so I undercoated with a clear polish (as I’ve found in the past this makes glitter nailpolish easier to get off) then I started on the fuzz!

First impression: it was quite hard to get a decent amount of the fuzzy bits to transfer from the brush to my nail. As I knew I’d have to do multiple coats I tried to make them as thin as possible but the ratio of clear polish to fuzz particles seemed a bit off and I ended up with a lot of the clear and not a lot of fuzz.

After my 2nd attempt I found that dabbing the polish on after applying it normally helped with this :o) Also make sure you shake the bottle really well!

So, in the end I managed to get 3 (thicker than I’d have liked) coats on and was pretty happy with how it turned out. I wouldn’t call it “fuzzy” though – more like long glitter, or confetti – which is still pretty awesome in my books!

I also tried it over a coloured polish as a couple of other reviewers have done but I actually liked it on bare nails more! Both ways lasted a couple of days before chipping or peeling but I was really good (for once) and let each coat dry properly before applying the next so that probably helped.

Overall, I wont be running out to buy one in every shade as they’re a bit of a novelty but I’d recommend getting one in a colour you like and giving it a try!

I to was excited to try and the pictures promoting it looked amazing but noooo one coat is pointless as only little but of fuzz shows up, u have to do numerous coats to get te right effect and then it is crazy hard to get it off. Normally love Sally Hansen but just not sure she got it right with this one
