Sally Hansen Nail Prisms #12 Coral Amber

I must say, Coral Amber just made it as my favorite holographic Prism so far! I just love this fresh, vivacious shade! I find it difficult to define this shade in terms of colour, as the word "coral" lends itself to a more orange toned shade in my mind, whereas this shade has quite a lot of red (pink) in it. I am also at a loss as to why Amber was added to the name of this polish... I see no evidence of Amber at all! I might have a little trouble defining the specific colour of this shade, but what stands out a mile at every angle is it's dazzling charm!


A breeze to apply and two coats provide a luscious finish! I used top coat on this holo and it did not dull the finish at all!

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms #11 Fire Opal

I found Fire Opal to be a very deceiving shade... It looks pretty monochromatic in the bottle, and even when I applied it to my nails, at first glance I thought it was not much more than a pretty salmon pink shade with an iridescent celadon shimmer. Don't get me wrong - that in itself is enough to make this a gorgeous polish, but I overlooked the duo-chrome finish Prisms are famous for... until I spotted the cerise pink on a different angle, that is! Like South Sea Pearl, this is not one of the most vibrant Prisms, but it is certainly worth adding to your collection!


I found this shade just as easy to apply as the previous shades reviewed, however I needed three coats, instead of the usual two coats, to achieve a satisfying finish. It is slightly sheer if you hold your hands up to the light, but not enough to classify it as a sheer. I'm impressed with the shade and the formula!

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms #10 Golden Cinnabar Limited Edition

I was a little disappointed to find that the limited edition of Golden Cinnabar was so close to the original version that you could say that they are just about the same formula. I loved the fact that the limited edition versions of Diamond and South Sea Pearl were different - and was hoping that this one would be the same! The colours within this shade range from goldenrod to amaranth, with amaranth pink and bronze in between.


I was happy with the formula of this shade - two coats were enough for an opaque streak-free finish!

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms #10 Golden Cinnabar

When gazing at the bottle of Golden Cinnabar I was not at all wowed. I didn't think I would even like it once it was on my nails! But let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised! I won't go so far as to say that this is one of my favorite Prisms, but it is much prettier than I gave it credit for! To be honest, I didn't even know what "Cinnabar" was! I have since found out that it is a red mercuric sulfide, used as a pigment. I have included a picture below for anyone interested in seeing it in it's crystal form. Now that I know this, the name of the polish makes much more sense to me! The colours within this shade range from goldenrod to amaranth, with amaranth pink and bronze in between. Even if, like me, you don't think this shade is for you, I recommend you try it out anyway - you might be just as pleased as I am!

Sally Hansen Nail Prisms #09 Blush Diamond Limited Edition

The Limited Edition version of Blush Diamond is identical to the original. A pretty French rose pink holographic polish similar to Diamond in respect of light refraction. The images below appear lighter than the original, but the actual shade is no different at all!


This shade was applied smoothly in two coats, like most of the previous Prisms I have reviewed! I used top coat on this holo and it did not dull the finish at all!
