I bought Purple Pizzazz immediately and showed it to you a few days ago, but the next day I just had to go back and get Wet Cement and Pacific Blue (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polishes are just $2.99 at Rite Aid so how could I resist?).
First let me show you Pacific Blue, which is unlike any other blue creme in my collection:
The Xtreme Wear creme shades apply so beautifully (almost 100% opacity after one coat) and they wear well too. The color in the above pic is not accurate--my camera REALLY washes out the color. So I took a zillion pics of this shade without flash and I finally got an excellent representation of the color but it's super blurry (sorry).
Please disregard the blurriness--I'm only showing this to you so that you can see the exact color of Pacific Blue, which is a deep, electric royal blue in real life:
Aaaah, I LOVE it!
If you are a blue polish fan, you neeeed this color! Next we have Wet Cement:
After I put on this lovely gray creme, I realized that it might be a dupe of RGB "Steel", which I reviewed a while back for WeHeartThis. Check this out:
Now obviously the RGB has more blue in it while the Sally Hansen has a smidge more yellow, but for a drugstore dupe, this is pretty close! Now, if you are a gray polish queen, you probably need to own both, but if you're a casual gray polish lover, I'd say get yourself a bottle of Sally Hansen Wet Cement ASAP.
Do you have any of the new Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear shades? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
I've got Blue it and Hot magenta.
ReplyDeleteHey princess azure: Did you mean "Blue Me Away"? I reviewed that shade a while back and I love it! That is from the first collection, but these are from the new set of shades that JUST released. :) If you own Blue Me Away I think you will LOVE Pacific Blue because it's a darker, very intense electric royal blue (just like the second pic--the blurry one). xo
ReplyDeleteI didn't like the extreme wear line that much but I caved in and bought 2 bottles of the new insta dry (a mint green and the duo-chrome purple) both of them are quite pretty and the application was quite easy.
ReplyDeleteI NEED that grey shade!
ReplyDeleteI was doing my nails yesterday, and asked my boyfriend what color I should do, and he said grey. That's when I realized I have absolutely NO grey shades. If you saw my nail polish collection you'd understand why I was so shocked by this. Anyways, after seeing SH Wet Cement, I decided I have to have it. Now I just need to wait until I have the money to afford it. lol
ReplyDeleteas soon as i read your initial review of the new sally hansen shades, i went right out to my rite aid and picked myself up a bottle of "wet cement." i love it! co-workers have commented on it though... mainly they ask me why i painted my nails green... when my nails are clearly gray!! odd. i know gray isn't the most festive christmas-y shade but i love this color and the polish is great!
ReplyDeleteCitrine: We are the exact opposite. The Insta-Dry polishes peel in less than 24 hours on me, no matter what kind of base coat I use. The creme formula of the Xtreme Wear shades are bullet-proof on my nails, I tell you! lol. But I do love that mint green shade you got--I was eyeing in the store today, even though those polishes don't work for me. lol.
ReplyDeleteGaby: I am seriously crossing my fingers that you are going to be able to find these in your area ASAP! Do you have a Rite Aid near you? THey're only $2.99 there. :)
Sandi: You NEED this then, see? lol! And if you have a Rite Aid near you, they're only $2.99 there! :) xo
jennifer: YAY!!! I am so glad I could help! I bet it looks *gorgeous* on you. And believe me, I know about coworkers who stare oddly at nail colors. lol. Do you work in florescent lighting? I bet that's what made them look green. But even so, if I worked with you I'd be salivating at your nails and we'd immediately bond over how pretty they look. lol. :)
I'm sorry it took so long for me to reply! The shade I'm referring to is a dark metallic blue.
ReplyDeleteI just found them at my Ulta! I bought the Pacific Blue, The Real Teal, and In the Spotlight. I was surprised, since my Ulta is usually months behind, if anything at all with the LE np's.
ReplyDeleteI got both these colors tonight, as well as a bottle of the one with the holographic bar glitter, and a bottle of Strobe Light, which seems to be discontinued and I couldn't find ANYWHERE else. Yay for buy one get one half off sales!
ReplyDeleteI just bought wet cement and it is true love. It is suc a fun way to wear a "neutral"!
