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! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU7y69ez1Smswm1o7R4qT_ACORxV7xA3Q-fqgsYFlT6d7cwFsE5KLyxcsAHiD55795QXHLT7Ogpmvm8OjEOF3TcezcCJxl_Y5Hzu8owv8VRNnggA-CSo-7j6qSQfGdYp-e-ShCWC0yV6fx/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2312+Coral+Amber+-+With+Bottle.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU7y69ez1Smswm1o7R4qT_ACORxV7xA3Q-fqgsYFlT6d7cwFsE5KLyxcsAHiD55795QXHLT7Ogpmvm8OjEOF3TcezcCJxl_Y5Hzu8owv8VRNnggA-CSo-7j6qSQfGdYp-e-ShCWC0yV6fx/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2312+Coral+Amber+-+With+Bottle.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491137412549065042" /></a><br />A breeze to apply and two coats provide a luscious finish!

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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmon_pink">salmon pink</a> shade with an iridescent <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celadon_%28color%29#Celadon">celadon</a> 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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerise_%28color%29#Cerise_pink">cerise pink</a> on a different angle, that is! Like <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-04-south-sea.html">South Sea Pearl,</a> this is not one of the most vibrant Prisms, but it is certainly worth adding to your collection!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgufebvER9Ruc-V3Q0CbqwPu757W7myBrNyqqRne3ur9FYt32XyRq4guzmFH2kBvSBZ-AypO021wsDSiAq6nFYkgrb0Ej6HkHHtG-p2kCUvV9b4t-vLgyVUTj06RWynF5mTJ-bUp9bR8S19/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2311+Fire+Opal+-+With+Bottle.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgufebvER9Ruc-V3Q0CbqwPu757W7myBrNyqqRne3ur9FYt32XyRq4guzmFH2kBvSBZ-AypO021wsDSiAq6nFYkgrb0Ej6HkHHtG-p2kCUvV9b4t-vLgyVUTj06RWynF5mTJ-bUp9bR8S19/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2311+Fire+Opal+-+With+Bottle.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490747125725567810" /></a><br />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 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 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldenrod_%28color%29">goldenrod</a> to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth_%28color%29">amaranth,</a> with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth_%28color%29#Amaranth_Pink">amaranth pink</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronze_%28color%29">bronze</a> 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!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWkvtPVVqbTvljY8l7uRbSQ2Xu7VOHVZ6zTnqCopFVCx1bXBePsEJNhum57ZO-w6VCha2O0DDWNuFeBTPuhPw1zxMAvAZD3ZuvL_YZn5zoMiXI1o2WAQtSjAtGtWYowzgWRVAdk4wEi_dE/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2310+Golden+Cinnabar+-+With+Bottle.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWkvtPVVqbTvljY8l7uRbSQ2Xu7VOHVZ6zTnqCopFVCx1bXBePsEJNhum57ZO-w6VCha2O0DDWNuFeBTPuhPw1zxMAvAZD3ZuvL_YZn5zoMiXI1o2WAQtSjAtGtWYowzgWRVAdk4wEi_dE/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2310+Golden+Cinnabar+-+With+Bottle.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490018714048109314" /></a><br />I was happy with the formula of this shade - two coats were enough for an opaque streak-free finish!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilakBTSeLot2_JBuDT7DSnhZbtqP0fc7FUFWWdhhEDMPA7NaOs6Yr6qOfZqEUn4C800_jYeMw58UBSJVXUkYYcCsoaG1Dzbxu-fvXJ5CncxAjocT90j7BscgPO8RY6hJpeK7PBZv9ZkBkw/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2310+Golden+Cinnabar+-+Artificial+Light.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilakBTSeLot2_JBuDT7DSnhZbtqP0fc7FUFWWdhhEDMPA7NaOs6Yr6qOfZqEUn4C800_jYeMw58UBSJVXUkYYcCsoaG1Dzbxu-fvXJ5CncxAjocT90j7BscgPO8RY6hJpeK7PBZv9ZkBkw/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2310+Golden+Cinnabar+-+Artificial+Light.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490021267628541362" /></a><br />Photographs taken in artificial light.

This polish reminds me of an oil slick that reflects every colour in the spectrum! It is absolutely bewitching! I was mesmerised while I stared at my hands trying to determine just how many colours this beauty was going to reveal! I'm not sure I would have chosen the name Garnet Lapis for this polish due to the fact that red is not a particularly dominant colour within the polish, however it certainly is present. I took a million photos (alright, maybe not a <span style="font-style: italic;">million</span>...) in the attempt to capture each shade within this polish to show you its versatility. Quite a difficult task, I assure you! I managed to get a representation of the most dominant shades, but at the expense of clarity in many cases, and in some shots I look like a resident of Springfield! So ladies, please look beyond the flaws in my photography to see the beauty within the beast!<br /><br />(Photo with bottle coming soon!)<br /><br />This shade took three coats for complete opacity, but it was a smooth application!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnKiLxoE3-Z5aPLsZOQ4BF7cM5fkg7LPkiSuwg81dlQ3JHXrPmZzP9cLi2GB5nBUv8a0idu-TwHZYVy7AA7sHf9S6s2GwpC6BWY-zcxpvQIF3tVf400vIKDUC1nuj7RbcHWR4HmJDa8D81/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2307+Garnet+Lapis+-+Artificial+Light.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 186px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnKiLxoE3-Z5aPLsZOQ4BF7cM5fkg7LPkiSuwg81dlQ3JHXrPmZzP9cLi2GB5nBUv8a0idu-TwHZYVy7AA7sHf9S6s2GwpC6BWY-zcxpvQIF3tVf400vIKDUC1nuj7RbcHWR4HmJDa8D81/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2307+Garnet+Lapis+-+Artificial+Light.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486144405247236690" border="0" /></a><br />Photographs taken in artificial light.

I was so in awe of its beauty that I could barely tear my eyes away from my hands! This shade is so unique it is no surprise that it is one of the most popular and loved of all the Prisms! On some angles it has a gorgeous, almost golden olive green appearance, and on other angles it is a dusty pinkish-purple. When the two colours blend, the polish appears to be a shade of gunmetal, but this is generally in low-light when one of the two main colours is not drawing reflective light. I personally like this unique effect but find the two main shades much more dazzling! This shade is one of the hardest Prisms to find - and when you get lucky it is often very expensive - but even though I paid what some would consider an incomprehensible amount for my bottle, the sheer beauty of it makes this polish worthy of every cent!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjua-n0qTDwemYw-moFdIn_hw4BnzjqE7NZEPqne5nO41FpT8EzPThPVAB15ji0bwRJVoday0VZWtj6qp2yoXLj9zREMnV7ND3Bwx__wEQSl0smbcEWDhfz31AGuvkvPfs1bxU9CMZo_5Gk/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2305+Emerald+Amethyst++-+With+Bottle.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjua-n0qTDwemYw-moFdIn_hw4BnzjqE7NZEPqne5nO41FpT8EzPThPVAB15ji0bwRJVoday0VZWtj6qp2yoXLj9zREMnV7ND3Bwx__wEQSl0smbcEWDhfz31AGuvkvPfs1bxU9CMZo_5Gk/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2305+Emerald+Amethyst++-+With+Bottle.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485131562066650002" /></a><br />Please excuse my cuticles for the first few posts of these shades - I had a reaction to a product that was not pretty!<br />This shade has been the easiest to work with so far, and only needed one coat for complete perfection!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-6DtyGPeBl9TRMdr6Ph5-Gjp2VgtDdiwjyy0MrlghMsvOrWHfVhxAchk_zYkXX9ZAAPfMiD7xK8vELQzMaARabC92O0RtAZjimM8C7xomaKu8Ztxzn89j-PB2zNMjAD_Rl__fcu_ARqEU/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2305+Emerald+Amethyst++-+Artificial+Light.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 188px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-6DtyGPeBl9TRMdr6Ph5-Gjp2VgtDdiwjyy0MrlghMsvOrWHfVhxAchk_zYkXX9ZAAPfMiD7xK8vELQzMaARabC92O0RtAZjimM8C7xomaKu8Ztxzn89j-PB2zNMjAD_Rl__fcu_ARqEU/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2305+Emerald+Amethyst++-+Artificial+Light.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485132182974131826" /></a><br />Photograph taken in artificial light.

The flashes of soft mint green are much the same as in the <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-04-south-sea.html">original,</a> but the pink flashes have a slightly more purpleish hue.

Purple Diamond got <span style="font-style:italic;">tonnes</span> of compliments so I'm not alone in my admiration! A gorgeous, rich shade of purple with beautiful holographic effects!

The two versions are so different, they need to be separated and re-named! Where the <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-02-pink-rose.html">original</a> is soft and light, this version is a darker dusty pink that has a hint of mauve. This version is just as stunning in it's own right! It also has rainbow lines that dance across your fingers when the light reflects off it and you can't help admiring its beauty! In my honest opinion, if you are a Prism addict like me, you need both versions in your collection!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0erhhTMkQBPvyos9AIDSLC1BwdZDftb7__gFdI7sNGfxGgJw0dxtygsKuHoQxtbx1577p_Q-L3mJ2huRozFD_3Ik9NgOOOqrTDDYMSfMlNvENJS7exWZNpvUPhPYvJTXhOjoLIxmQG-Na/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2302+Pink+Rose+Diamond+Dark+Version+-+With+Bottle.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 222px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0erhhTMkQBPvyos9AIDSLC1BwdZDftb7__gFdI7sNGfxGgJw0dxtygsKuHoQxtbx1577p_Q-L3mJ2huRozFD_3Ik9NgOOOqrTDDYMSfMlNvENJS7exWZNpvUPhPYvJTXhOjoLIxmQG-Na/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2302+Pink+Rose+Diamond+Dark+Version+-+With+Bottle.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482877292995086626" /></a><br />Please excuse my cuticles for the first few posts of these shades - I had a reaction to a product that was not pretty!<br />A breeze to apply, and two coats were ample for a perfect finish!

The change in formula is ever so subtle, yet I cannot help but notice the differences. Where the <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-01-diamond.html">original Diamond</a> cast a striking rainbow in distinct lines when light reflected off it, this one gives a delicate consistency of pin-points of coloured hologram that dance around the entire nail surface! This version of Diamond is far more subdued - but this in no way diminishes it's striking beauty!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAvg8nRPIDTjj8kPtS13qiJv492-RrBAAXYTMl9MbiRI6C2eAc90BJNC5ZdL8vwYzPoQV29FNo2zF5p3eI6Wgd2z37Ve8Pp7AXF3kVNI_elVBM3u7nav83YE6BD3gqc3dhiH_AjA33uFvG/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2301+Diamond+LE+-+With+Bottle.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 234px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAvg8nRPIDTjj8kPtS13qiJv492-RrBAAXYTMl9MbiRI6C2eAc90BJNC5ZdL8vwYzPoQV29FNo2zF5p3eI6Wgd2z37Ve8Pp7AXF3kVNI_elVBM3u7nav83YE6BD3gqc3dhiH_AjA33uFvG/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2301+Diamond+LE+-+With+Bottle.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482243388205343490" /></a><br />This gorgeous shade has a thicker consistency than its counterpart - so two coats were all that were needed for an opaque finish.

What a colour! I am totally in love with this gorgeous silver hologram polish! The holographic particles in this polish catch the light in the most amazing way - literally casting a rainbow across your fingertips! The polish refracts the light in such a way as to show distinct lines of every colour in the spectrum. Of course it is most brilliant in direct sunlight - but I found that any light source at all reveals the beauty of this shade!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWntsjrOqW7FRUbNvS40pGS8BdhGQTNmJWHj9l2VfP8jSwYRQk96z9UJiz_YlFrTdfd8uJPk8HRhed5rQmOz2uOJFBXIwIKgPbj1b-uZAAzf0-F-pTI5M3x0lWWl8nr5tO4GGuor_EJg2F/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2301+Diamond+-+With+Bottle.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 210px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWntsjrOqW7FRUbNvS40pGS8BdhGQTNmJWHj9l2VfP8jSwYRQk96z9UJiz_YlFrTdfd8uJPk8HRhed5rQmOz2uOJFBXIwIKgPbj1b-uZAAzf0-F-pTI5M3x0lWWl8nr5tO4GGuor_EJg2F/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+%2301+Diamond+-+With+Bottle.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481670902186561314" /></a><br />I found this polish easy to apply, though the formula was a little on the thin side.

The beauty reflected within these little bottles was enough to make my breath catch in my throat! From that point on - I was thoroughly addicted and began my quest to obtain them all!<br /><br />I could not (and still can't) believe how elusive these popular nail polishes are! I have spent hours upon hours researching this long discontinued line of prisms, reading everything I could and asking questions of anyone willing to help, and have been doing so on and off for the past 8 months! I still do not have ALL the answers I seek - but I have discovered enough to warrant writing a chronicle for other addicts! My goal is to offer as much information as possible in one place - an easy go-to for anyone looking for information on these adored polishes.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJCYRYOXX-_GjU-w47F-a6nqui5Ypj3shruTNX_wGVHzbo80Vm2MJmgnvPh3muBVig0AykNHxb08QjRJOoFM0jXeNuZ4o0cPxLyr_luWcj726Ilb4rtAbDUXDTmAcfNquKXvpnPEeSa9q_/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481355892220118946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJCYRYOXX-_GjU-w47F-a6nqui5Ypj3shruTNX_wGVHzbo80Vm2MJmgnvPh3muBVig0AykNHxb08QjRJOoFM0jXeNuZ4o0cPxLyr_luWcj726Ilb4rtAbDUXDTmAcfNquKXvpnPEeSa9q_/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 240px;" /></a><br />Sally Hansen released the Nail Prisms line in 2002 and they were the first of their kind. This is what the company had to say about their product:<br /><br />Color in Motion! <br /><br />The first 3D nail color! <br />Exclusive microfine prismatic reflectants create waves of living color every time you move. <br /><br />Only Sally Hansen Nail Prisms utilize state of the art pigment, film and coating technologies. This exclusive ultra-tech system replicates nature in a way never before seen. From natural pearlescence mimicking the nacre of a south seas pearl, to the bright, iridescent effects found in butterfly wings and peacock feathers. <br /><br />The advanced, patented Sally Hansen formula treats and protects nails so they can grow strong, long and healthier-looking than ever before. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Ai8hgrmIaTCx2LMArBgjhFdLEeeT5mqNxjLPpXmeB-QOjqZQxwSMzhaZ9R1nglLhkY7XtMC06TgPlAxt65GtTuZJbgvdQ5Tv8bReT5J59bHPEdpJkT1EZquyQk500owyYmvCZTXyTtwL/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481368861410172946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Ai8hgrmIaTCx2LMArBgjhFdLEeeT5mqNxjLPpXmeB-QOjqZQxwSMzhaZ9R1nglLhkY7XtMC06TgPlAxt65GtTuZJbgvdQ5Tv8bReT5J59bHPEdpJkT1EZquyQk500owyYmvCZTXyTtwL/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 220px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 220px;" /></a><br /><br />From the information I could gather, it appears that Nail Prisms were only released in America, Canada and the United Kingdom. They were released in two differently labeled bottles, one for the US (left), the other for the UK and Canada (right). Below is what the two different bottles look like.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglp2Ew9WbzeNWIo0R9OOsTdUuTVFBJFa8_OFA5uvfBxLs4XwnJYTVAT__Dct_LeOgD0kbX2DEFpzu4OstwqMy3QaXluoj0RIv9xq3aEjLZGulosnDv_7PRaejTSgWLq-Umh-ANTyIElYMx/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481373459720944082" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglp2Ew9WbzeNWIo0R9OOsTdUuTVFBJFa8_OFA5uvfBxLs4XwnJYTVAT__Dct_LeOgD0kbX2DEFpzu4OstwqMy3QaXluoj0RIv9xq3aEjLZGulosnDv_7PRaejTSgWLq-Umh-ANTyIElYMx/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+3.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 250px;" /></a><br /><br />At first I believed that Sally Hansen released 43 shades in their core line before discontinuing it - but I have never found any reference to #33 and #34 <span style="font-style: italic;">anywhere!</span> It doesn't make sense to me that they would have simply skipped two numbers, thus leaving a hole in the consecutive number sequence - but if they do exist, surely <span style="font-style: italic;">someone</span> would have seen them somewhere!? If any of you, my readers, have seen them or know anything of them PLEASE leave a comment about it! <br /><br />And so, this is the list of shades released in the core line that I am aware of:<br /><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-01-diamond.html">#01 Diamond</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-02-pink-rose.html">#02 Pink Rose Diamond</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-03-purple.html">#03 Purple Diamond</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-04-south-sea.html">#04 South Sea Pearl</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-05-emerald.html">#05 Emerald Amethyst</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-06-ruby.html">#06 Ruby Sapphire</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-07-garnet.html">#07 Garnet Lapis</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-08-amber-ruby.html">#08 Amber Ruby</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-09-blush.html">#09 Blush Diamond</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/07/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-10-golden.html">#10 Golden Cinnabar</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/07/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-11-fire-opal.html">#11 Fire Opal</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/07/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-12-coral-amber.html">#12 Coral Amber</a><br />#13 Ruby Diamond<br />#14 Lapis Amethyst<br />#15 Lavender Pearl<br />#16 Turquoise Opal<br />#17 Pink Pearl<br />#18 Star Opal<br />#19 Lavender Sky<br />#20 Pink Gold<br />#21 Scarlet Ruby<br />#22 Bronze Coral<br />#23 Burgundy Orchid<br />#24 Platinum Plum<br />#25 White Diamond<br />#26 Cinnabar Opal aka Cinnabar<br />#27 Bronze Ruby<br />#28 Mandarin Garnet<br />#29 Golden Tourmaline<br />#30 Pink Opal<br />#31 Orange Opal<br />#32 Ruby Opal<br />#35 White Turquoise<br />#36 Lavender Sapphire<br />#37 Ruby Topaz<br />#38 Ruby Emerald<br />#39 Lilac Aqua<br />#40 Lavender Gold<br />#41 White Ruby<br />#42 Pink Amber<br />#43 Bronze Pink<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheiH_5_uAwN2-Lg2hxZsdCQyzGOiIv7iUAZdK_Mc-Ko7kwDCM7XepyMfNxUwNxbZxH3SbNJjbSeYhDDb0peYYcglg5og4ZAsV5zOK41FRp0UAglGoeMXM2MK_uaM0T59lHxjidWliH7tqr/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481382608476283186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheiH_5_uAwN2-Lg2hxZsdCQyzGOiIv7iUAZdK_Mc-Ko7kwDCM7XepyMfNxUwNxbZxH3SbNJjbSeYhDDb0peYYcglg5og4ZAsV5zOK41FRp0UAglGoeMXM2MK_uaM0T59lHxjidWliH7tqr/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+4.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 246px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 120px;" /></a><br />Apart from this core line there were also exclusives released in Canada, and possibly the UK too. These are the exclusives that I am aware of:<br /><br />Coral Pearl<br />Metallic Magenta (Canada)<br />Pearly Pink (Canada)<br />Pearl Opal<br />Golden Presents (Canada)<br />Coral Presents (Canada)<br />Opal Presents (Canada)<br />Ruby Presents (Canada)<br />Bronze Presents<br />Rainbow Presents (Canada)<br /><br />If anyone knows of any others please let me know! Also let me know if you know which country these releases belong to. <br /><br />The last special release that I am aware of is the limited edition line. This line was released in a completely different bottle which is pictured below. I will hazard a guess that these were released in the US - as they have the same format of labeling as the regular US bottles. I cannot say how many of these were released, but these are the ones I know of:<br /><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-01-diamond_13.html">#01 Diamond</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-04-south-sea_20.html">#04 South Sea Pearl</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/07/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-09-blush.html">#09 Blush Diamond</a><br /><a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/07/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-10-golden_05.html">#10 Golden Cinnabar</a><br />#12 Coral Amber<br />#13 Ruby Diamond<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4d_JtJz-bdJpwOKd7japIyeNa2lK0FuMBGHphBPI-6FpNPJ9TCVBI8n2xL74bm-QHzWMumQOAaEhpNGuuHntK4HkHdtakCmbf_KFXwshq99e_1IUSidb1MRUC7WwZCJ5WKf7uSyO0L8wW/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+5.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481389724930894946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4d_JtJz-bdJpwOKd7japIyeNa2lK0FuMBGHphBPI-6FpNPJ9TCVBI8n2xL74bm-QHzWMumQOAaEhpNGuuHntK4HkHdtakCmbf_KFXwshq99e_1IUSidb1MRUC7WwZCJ5WKf7uSyO0L8wW/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+5.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 262px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><br /><br />There are a couple of anomalies that I will also mention in this post about Nail Prisms. Firstly, it is not uncommon to have a hard time identifying the shades, as the shade names and numbers are not always printed on the labels or lids. One way to identify shades from what I have learned is to have a look for a 6 digit number on the back label. The first 4 digits denote the range of nail polish - which in this case is 4674 representing Nail Prisms. The two digits following the dash indicate the shade. For example the numbers on the back of a bottle of South Sea Pearl will read as follows: 4674-04. Hopefully that will help some of you identify mystery shades!<br /><br />Secondly, there has been many reports of shades being released in two (or possibly more) formulas. I have got <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-02-pink-rose_15.html">Pink Rose Diamond</a> in two different versions, so I know this to be true! I have also heard from others that Ruby Sapphire, Golden Tourmaline, Lapis Amethyst, Blush Diamond, Cinnabar Opal, South Sea Pearl and Ruby Diamond also have more than one version. I will post these subsequent versions if I am able to obtain them! Below is a preview of the difference between my Pink Rose Diamond bottles.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMLdOP5Kw0iL8Jj6mir9YsACxW_KNxX9_hM9E9RoPkTwjg3ilR8xCUQJ9rEmuJd_BQ9Q5FYFb9f_RapKL7a4OenQaeRh0u1NsOXHJZnepg4PHY1qdM_-uEn6JdcYhlttBX4Q7Srj3oklsJ/s1600/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+6.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481395922523187666" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMLdOP5Kw0iL8Jj6mir9YsACxW_KNxX9_hM9E9RoPkTwjg3ilR8xCUQJ9rEmuJd_BQ9Q5FYFb9f_RapKL7a4OenQaeRh0u1NsOXHJZnepg4PHY1qdM_-uEn6JdcYhlttBX4Q7Srj3oklsJ/s320/Sally+Hansen+Nail+Prisms+6.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 283px;" /></a><br /><br />The following section is updated information on multiple formula releases:<br />Since writing this post two months ago I have discovered and obtained quite a number of Prisms with formula variation, so I thought more detailed descriptions are called for and not just a general mention! So here is what I have found so far:<br /><br />#01 Diamond - apart from the <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-01-diamond.html">usual version</a> that I have reviewed, I did find one bottle that stood out a little from the rest. It somehow seemed a touch more holographic, but the minor difference does not make me inclined to do a second review or say that there is two distinct shades to be found.<br /><br />#02 Pink Rose Diamond - I have already shown you guys above that there is at least two distinct shades of Pink Rose Diamond, and I have reviewed both the <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-02-pink-rose_15.html">Dark Version</a> and the <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-02-pink-rose.html">Light Version</a> for you. However, I have since discovered a <span style="font-style:italic;">third version!</span> This third shade is what I am now calling the Pastel Version!<br /><br />#03 Purple Diamond - I have reviewed the standard <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-03-purple.html">dark version</a> of Purple Diamond for you, however I have discovered that there are at least three different variations of what I would call the standard dark version. I believe that these variations are purely a matter of how much pigment was used in each batch, as the hue itself is the same. Like Diamond above, these variations are so minor that it does not warrant separating them into different categories. Having said that, there is however another two shades that <span style="font-style:italic;">are</span> very different to the aforementioned version! One I call the Light Amethyst Version, and the other I call the Light Orchid Version!<br /><br />#04 South Sea Pearl - I have reviewed the standard version of South Sea Pearl, which I have now dubbed the <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-04-south-sea.html">Cream Version,</a> but I can also confirm another version which I could only describe as the Coral Pink Version!<br /><br />#09 Blush Diamond - I have reviewed the most common version of Blush Diamond, which I have now dubbed the <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/sally-hansen-nail-prisms-09-blush.html">Dark Version</a> but I can also confirm another formula which will be the Light Version!<br /><br />#13 Ruby Diamond - I can confirm that there is a Dark Version and Light Version of Ruby Diamond now too!<br /><br />#14 Lapis Amethyst - I can officially confirm that there are two very different versions of Lapis Amethyst! I have called them the Amethyst Version, and the Iris Version.<br /><br />Another anomaly that I had not mentioned in my original post would have to be releases in different bottles. This does not necessarily mean that the polish inside is different, as that has not yet been the case with the shades that I have found in different bottles. For those who are interested in this information, I will be adding photos and descriptions of different bottle releases.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnniTZXKUq_0e8_E3-XP6zW5SlipxXGbaPIzCHNWRp1ZJ_TRgsmKCXXRvZX9ygXOxu6UqHlH3bMkxaU9jeHiUuIMxldEGk-A_SEOFh0Yg1KdJyuDb2dI-dIEQWGRwsuXmoZ5aN8SkjP3nq/s1600/Bottle+Comparison+-+Emerald+Amethyst.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnniTZXKUq_0e8_E3-XP6zW5SlipxXGbaPIzCHNWRp1ZJ_TRgsmKCXXRvZX9ygXOxu6UqHlH3bMkxaU9jeHiUuIMxldEGk-A_SEOFh0Yg1KdJyuDb2dI-dIEQWGRwsuXmoZ5aN8SkjP3nq/s320/Bottle+Comparison+-+Emerald+Amethyst.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501481649334620914" /></a><br />Above is #05 Emerald Amethyst - on the left is a clear bottle and on the right is a painted bottle that depicts the shades within the polish.

Both types of bottle contained the same formula.<br /><br />In my online travels I have read many reviews of these nail polishes, and heard many complaints of thin formulas, streaky applications and slow drying times. I personally have not experienced any of this - granted I have not tried them all as yet. I use a <a href="http://vibrantpointofview.blogspot.com/2010/06/finishing-touches-top-coat.html">quick-dry top coat</a> which solves the drying problem, and recommend others do the same! I will post each individual shade over the next few weeks and review them all on their own merit.<br />My only general complaint about this line of polish is the shape of the bottle. It seems a little top-heavy and in danger of tipping if not careful! I much prefer the LE bottles, as they simply seem more stable.<br /><br />So that is pretty much it for the introduction to my chronicle! If anyone has any information to add - please feel free to let me know! It would be welcomed! I would also like to thank the ladies on the MakeupAlley Nail Board for helping me place some of my puzzle pieces! I hope they didn't get too tired of my incessant questions! lol I would also like to specially thank <a href="http://lextard.blogspot.com/">lextard</a> and MissCarley for their extra help! You two ladies are wonderful!<br /><br />For anyone looking to obtain these widely admired polishes (particularly my fellow Aussies!), I will have my duplicates up for swap or sale. Check out <a href="http://vibrantvspetiteboutique.blogspot.com/">Vibrant V's Petite Boutique,</a> <a href="http://www.makeupalley.com/p%7EVibrantV">MakeupAlley</a> or <a href="http://www.oztion.com.au/buy/auctions.aspx?type5=vibrantpointofview">OZtion</a> to find them.

It protects your nail polish from going dull, chipping, dinging or scratching! It's truly worth the effort for that glossy luster that ensures your nails look stunning!<br /><br />Many women skip the top coat believing that another layer will only take more time to dry... That my friends is the complete opposite to the truth! Many top coats have quick-drying properties, so they may be applied on top of wet nail polish to help it harden and dry faster. This is beneficial if you have limited time or lack in patience before getting back to your regular activities!<br /><br />My favorite top coat is inm Out The Door, which has been voted America's #1 top coat, and has held that position for 25 years. And let me tell you it deserves that title! I love how quick and easy it is to apply, and how it actually does what the label on the bottle claims - dries in seconds! That is not to say that it is completely ding-proof immediately - no top coat can boast that - but it certainly goes a long way to protect your manicure while it cures!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizYjwTCVOxXqiX3tUCxbC-MMXSRl4t96l-SyRsVbV-fX-HIfonqwCK_Bozbzk42-VZNVsLPO1PoR_3HmElQ1p_v6pdA9uEtWAIgxZF_tsvGMYqUh_evbaKxG67gGnsFqBgyVSqQ9kKLBBh/s1600/Out+The+Door+Top+Coat+73ml.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 194px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizYjwTCVOxXqiX3tUCxbC-MMXSRl4t96l-SyRsVbV-fX-HIfonqwCK_Bozbzk42-VZNVsLPO1PoR_3HmElQ1p_v6pdA9uEtWAIgxZF_tsvGMYqUh_evbaKxG67gGnsFqBgyVSqQ9kKLBBh/s320/Out+The+Door+Top+Coat+73ml.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480974680692882914" /></a><br />There are lots of choices when it comes to top coat - and it all depends on what you are looking to achieve apart from protecting your nail polish. I do tend to favor the inm branded ones - they have stood the test of time and proven their worth to me! Below are the types of top coats inm offer and their purpose.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Out The Door Top Coat -</span> As mentioned above, this is your standard quick-drying top coat.

I admit that I was one of these women not so long ago! And so, I'm writing this post to highlight the reasons why a base coat is a crucial step in beautifying your nails!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA2rGSfmbBjkyCtMSfvOTDNqf3SiBHZLXI7AeM1zKGfk4Fd1EulbB4g0OGkhjfVFgPUPz8H3fYhIS0X1ytuqIMl9Jy4_5fvHVVvCcLNTxhW-UeTkPSalFRXPnwhX0p0APlVWgYKhGmDK9L/s1600/Base+Coat.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 235px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA2rGSfmbBjkyCtMSfvOTDNqf3SiBHZLXI7AeM1zKGfk4Fd1EulbB4g0OGkhjfVFgPUPz8H3fYhIS0X1ytuqIMl9Jy4_5fvHVVvCcLNTxhW-UeTkPSalFRXPnwhX0p0APlVWgYKhGmDK9L/s320/Base+Coat.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480692680356889746" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Why do I need a base coat?</span><br /><br />The two main reasons for using a base coat are to protect your nails and ensuring a smoother, longer lasting manicure.<br /><br />If you have natural nails, a base coat can replenish nails that are brittle and dry, restoring the moisture that nails need in order to be healthy. This in turn promotes healthier nails, and prevents breakage and other damage, including splitting and peeling.<br /><br />Dark shades of nail polish can stain the nail, as well as seep into the nail bed and discolour your nails. Blue, black, or bright red and pink nail polishes are most likely to do this. Applying a base coat can prevent this from occurring. The base coat is a shield of protection from this kind of damage.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigOuynbO77ga_NZla4Fj1SUxEgBMORiIXtm9WLt8g770tlmfLOB8OYVjvFIAu6RcDc9jQmBqhrm92cGhw6tLQIcN3y5TR0UPBqm5HbroW5r9MG_6Cn8QHcEvObCa5y6NnbG6Kic76s_qVy/s1600/Red+Nail+Polish+Drop.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigOuynbO77ga_NZla4Fj1SUxEgBMORiIXtm9WLt8g770tlmfLOB8OYVjvFIAu6RcDc9jQmBqhrm92cGhw6tLQIcN3y5TR0UPBqm5HbroW5r9MG_6Cn8QHcEvObCa5y6NnbG6Kic76s_qVy/s320/Red+Nail+Polish+Drop.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480695507246770386" /></a><br />Base coat lengthens the life of nail colour by forming a molecular bond between the nail plate and the polish layer. It provides a smoother, more receptive surface for the nail polish to adhere to, while filling in the lines and creases in the nail. <br /><br />When using a base coat, you will truly notice a difference in the ease of the application as well as a longer lasting manicure with far less chipping and peeling!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Types of base coats available -</span><br /><br />I highly recommend you stay away from products that claim to be a 2 in 1 base coat/top coat. Both are formulated to do two different jobs and it makes no sense to use the same product for both jobs!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_yuyEj9eqEy79-vxrZkf4AbMu9LYFE0XKS80UUZnLbJzNM4Bmb75LKy2hgPfPyYwRWUZ1pyysRCwvfp7S110fvkXMs3T6NMmoqDVkfIJBy5Vg2IkvhQkkE-3GltPsx9FtOCUuPdZ4BnvD/s1600/Revlon+Base+%2B+Top+Coat.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_yuyEj9eqEy79-vxrZkf4AbMu9LYFE0XKS80UUZnLbJzNM4Bmb75LKy2hgPfPyYwRWUZ1pyysRCwvfp7S110fvkXMs3T6NMmoqDVkfIJBy5Vg2IkvhQkkE-3GltPsx9FtOCUuPdZ4BnvD/s320/Revlon+Base+%2B+Top+Coat.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480700616577738258" /></a><br />Base coats come in standard and ridge-filler varieties. Standard base coats are usually clear, but can also come in a thicker formula with a milky appearance. They can also have agents to thicken your natural nails or reduce splitting and peeling. Ridge-filling base coats are thicker than regular base coats. They fill in any lines, ridges and grooves to give the nails a smoother looking appearance. I have seen these sold in white and pink.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What base coat do I use?</span><br /><br />I am currently using inm ClearBond Base Coat.

I recommend this one - don't be deceived by the average looking bottle! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmsag-oxwL6w80RU7_Ra8S297935iGOPG5vryO919vSWEk5P_e7aF2fi8c_SDNk6OnOK73CG2EPE1E330kYLtn4-EM-Hqf5Q7aj26ZQQVL3G1Z0ba0d8yZupq4UFYIpu9tx92gQ-2LjMFc/s1600/Mode+Cosmetics+%2310668+High+Fashion+-+Artificial+Light.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 186px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmsag-oxwL6w80RU7_Ra8S297935iGOPG5vryO919vSWEk5P_e7aF2fi8c_SDNk6OnOK73CG2EPE1E330kYLtn4-EM-Hqf5Q7aj26ZQQVL3G1Z0ba0d8yZupq4UFYIpu9tx92gQ-2LjMFc/s320/Mode+Cosmetics+%2310668+High+Fashion+-+Artificial+Light.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479991150527454370" /></a><br />Photograph taken in artificial light <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw7fBrOeWJnkwRFPEV8eU3gwat98omkGzI9gp44fR6EOj-4gAoFCVgIskFMYeTEoSLXcCa-2UzfborRItqbVnLXDwnTwNxQzUfzW4mb4XlBjyCez21bq02_1FY870KcfJ7GaPkqR1jFO6X/s1600/Mode+Cosmetics+%2310668+High+Fashion+-+Single+Nail+Close-up.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 142px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw7fBrOeWJnkwRFPEV8eU3gwat98omkGzI9gp44fR6EOj-4gAoFCVgIskFMYeTEoSLXcCa-2UzfborRItqbVnLXDwnTwNxQzUfzW4mb4XlBjyCez21bq02_1FY870KcfJ7GaPkqR1jFO6X/s320/Mode+Cosmetics+%2310668+High+Fashion+-+Single+Nail+Close-up.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479991323674266082" /></a><br />I will be listing a bottle of this shade on <a href="http://www.oztion.com.au/buy/auctions.aspx?type5=vibrantpointofview">OZtion</a> for any Australian ladies interested in owning one!

Very simple, one-coat application! I was a bit unsure of this shade before applying it, as I have never worn a grey shade before, but I was pleasantly surprised! I must say I like the change, and will be wearing it again for sure! A great winter shade that would look fantastic with knits!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQTTi6pI1vfQe_alkGCwaBs6g-Tp3C-pj97LVV_Ns1OCoOQKF2GWeN3PV__XdygQyYWiCOVznx9dGL5V__9ZxkbapRL4jfZCD3BZrkYv7ntXpf5HHSUsB5lON7a9bdeE9niap9DwiuBM2/s1600/Mode+Cosmetics+%2310667+VIP+-+Artificial+Light.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 186px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaQTTi6pI1vfQe_alkGCwaBs6g-Tp3C-pj97LVV_Ns1OCoOQKF2GWeN3PV__XdygQyYWiCOVznx9dGL5V__9ZxkbapRL4jfZCD3BZrkYv7ntXpf5HHSUsB5lON7a9bdeE9niap9DwiuBM2/s320/Mode+Cosmetics+%2310667+VIP+-+Artificial+Light.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478876279218166834" /></a><br />Photograph taken in artificial light <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDV-6PEKPImYfuSokoLkciJS5PWlKQ3GX7WhWN9tj9nWtHO0kR1oMsoAmraSS8oDZlyPXS4tqEgTQitieodq_BCPgdiFrcCFKEOLshAheiq9iygO4BNKgYWwiOV6IQJ56EwR3KFaxfRst/s1600/Mode+Cosmetics+%2310667+VIP+-+Single+Nail+Close-up.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 146px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRDV-6PEKPImYfuSokoLkciJS5PWlKQ3GX7WhWN9tj9nWtHO0kR1oMsoAmraSS8oDZlyPXS4tqEgTQitieodq_BCPgdiFrcCFKEOLshAheiq9iygO4BNKgYWwiOV6IQJ56EwR3KFaxfRst/s320/Mode+Cosmetics+%2310667+VIP+-+Single+Nail+Close-up.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478876480731777042" /></a><br />I will be listing a bottle of this shade on <a href="http://www.oztion.com.au/buy/auctions.aspx?type5=vibrantpointofview">OZtion</a> for any Australian ladies interested in owning one!

Allow nail enamel to dry before applying stripper polish. Starting in the bottom corner, sweep first lacquer shade up the nail, curving slightly at the top, then follow with another stroke beside the first. Add a third and fourth stroke diagonally in the opposite direction. Be careful not to apply the top coat too early otherwise you will end up with unsightly streaks!
