Spotted: Sally Hansen Limited Edition Fall 2013 Salon Effects Collection (US and Canadian versions)

Very rarely do drugstore collections seem to launch at the exact same time in both US and Canada these days, and it's even more rare that I receive photo submissions of a collection from both US and Canadian readers at the exact same time. But that's what happened today, and I'm so happy I can show you the new Salon Effects designs for both the US and Canada, thanks to two lovely readers.

Quick recap: The Rent The Runway collections also include new Insta-Dri polishes, new Complete Salon Manicure polishes and new Xtreme Wear polishes

US VERSION:

Huge thanks to reader Peeka Boo for these photos of the US version at Rite Aid! There are eight designs in this display.

(Canadian version)

Big thanks to reader Shannon for these photos of the Canadian version! Shannon found these at her local London Drugs. 

There are eight designs in this display (just like the US version). The designs in the Canadian version have the exact same names as the designs in the US version (with one exception), but there are a few designs that look different (more on that in a minute). And obviously the display is different, since I don't think Sally Hansen is running the Rent the Runway Sweepstakes in Canada.

See the difference in the above two designs compared to the US version? Here's the US version again:

The change in color could be due to different cameras (and different lighting) but even the patterns themselves are slightly different, if you look closely.

Have you spotted this new Salon Effects collection  yet (in either the US or Canada)? If so, what do you think? Any must-haves here?

Thanks again, Peeka Boo and Shannon, for the terrific pics and info. I really appreciate it!

  1. G, I think you're right about the differences in the US vs the Canadian ones being due to the lighting/camera of each photo because I bought Ama-zen and it looks just like the one shown in the Canadian picture (and I live in Ohio!). :D. PS- I also bought the Koi fish ones and they are cute!

    1. Thanks for confirming that, Carol! So is the pattern itself like the US pic above, or the Canadian pic above?

  2. Oddly enough though, if you take the image shown on the display under the US Ama-zen box and turn it upside down- that's what is seen through the window of the box released in Canada. Are there two different versions or does the pattern maybe just vary from strip to strip? I'm not really familiar with these so I don't know if that's something SH has done before or not. Now you've got me intrigued. :)

  3. I don't think the patterns are different. When you open the pack, the image on each strip varies, because each nail sticker is cut from a different place on the roll. Like puzzles pieces from a bigger picture. This is especially true with empress-ive. Each nail isn't exactly the same, more like.. each nail continues where the other left off. So I'm sure there are no differences between US & Canada..
