New Sally Hansen Hard as Nails nail polish in Frozen Solid

After finally spotting the newly revamped Sally Hansen Hard as Nails collection at my local Walgreens (click here if you missed the pics), and then noticing that these polishes retail for just $1.99 each, I finally decided to pick one up. Actually, what REALLY made me want to pick one up was seeing Mary's review here.

At first I was going to purchase the foil-y lilac shade, but then the foil-y blue shade called out to me:

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails nail polish in Frozen Solid

(retail: $1.99)

Frozen Solid is a great name for this icy blue foil. Even though I've kind of burned myself out on these types of polishes, I was drawn to the iciness of this shade.

The formula is pretty thin and it required three coats for decent opacity but, even after three coats, you can still see VNL (visible nail line), so I'm thinking this color would work best as a layering shade, or at least worn under a coat of white polish.

Something that you can't really see in my pics is that Frozen Solid isn't your ordinary foil. There are iridescent particles to this polish that give it almost a scattered, duochome-y look when viewed in certain lights.

Here are some macro shots of the bottle--I hope you can see the iridescent little particles floating around in this polish:

This iridescence gives this polish sort of an ice-princess-meets-mermaid type of feel that I really love. The longer I wear Frozen Solid, the more I love it. I wore this color for three days and, by day three, I had minimal tip-wear, so I'm curious to see how long I can go without any serious chipping. So far so good!

Have you purchased any polishes from the newly-revamped Hard as Nails line? If so, what do you think of them? You can't beat the price, that's for sure!
