I Found My Silver Lining

My first nail polish was a Sally Hansen's.  I'm sure it was one of my Mom's.  My Mom used to have the most glamorous and long nails.  Gosh, I wish my scanner would work on my printer because I'd love to show you a photo of my mom...her senior photo.  She's simply beautiful.  And I ended up looking like Dad!  No fair!!!

So, Sally's Hansen has a looonngggg history.  And, fortunately, they have kept up with the times.  When the new limited collection of their Complete Salon Manicure came out and, after I snagged all the 'Hidden Treasures' I could find, I got this one next...

This is 'Silver Lining.'  Right off, the photos do not show a true, accurate representation of this polish.  In real life, the sparkles are rich and iridescent in a silver base.  It looks like it could be watery, but it wasn't.  Not quite.

Ah, that's a better photo!  But sadly, I only took one of it as my pedicure.  I have no reason why.  Maybe I just forgot. :/

I'll definitely swatch this one again as a manicure.  It's a new favorite even though it is a lighter color.

And, along with this look, I did a manicure.  Here's a polish that isn't quite so bad for a cheapy, nail supply polish...

This photo shows the orange shimmer in this polish.  It has, what I would label,  a bright coral base.

Not a photo rich blog this time.  I guess I didn't want any overkill on photos, this time.  Hmmmm....

So, I'll wrap up by saying that this brand is 'Cleopatra' and the name of this shimmery coral is 'Reconcilable Indifference.'  That's a fun play on words.  This polish wasn't a total wash-out like other cheapy, nail supply polishes.  It actually did OK with 2 coats.  It's a bit watery but came out to my liking.

And my Mom is still one of the most beautiful women I know.

Have you ever bought a cheap polish that you ended up loving?  Can you actually get the owner of a nail supply shop to sell to you, even without a nail license?
