Manicure Monday - I'm Blue Da Ba Di Dab Ah Dah

Here we are at Monday again and I have a killer manicure for you, I apologize if I got that song stuck in your head but it was my intention (hehe).

I'm loving rocking a accent nail on each hand at the moment and I find it a good way to try out some of the polishes I haven't gotten around to swatching plus it also is fun when someone notices "ohhh that finger is a little different".

So what did I use!

The Sally Hansen polish applied like a dream, I did do two coats but easily could have gotten away with 1. The little variants of blue glitter in the OPI Last Friday Night polish (from the Katy Perry collection) has one blue that is a pretty spot on match for Blue Me Away. Match made in heaven? Yeh I kinda think so! I loved this mani and wished I could have rocked it all week but I had to change it up and go a little more demure for work (you'll see that one next week!)

Nails on Tour - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Celeb City

There is a reason why i've called this Nails on Tour, it's not a NOTD because I changed that last night (pics to come of this tomorrow...promise!) also I took the photo of this nail colour at the aiport waiting for my plane to go to Splendour In The Grass. I must also make note that this is one of the worst nail photos i've taken, I do apologize but I will try and get a better shot of it next time I wear it.

Let's talk about the polish itself, because I know thats what you want to hear about . This is my first Sally Hansen polish in the Xtreme Wear range so I was excited to give it a go. Application was decent, at first I tweeted that I didn't like it at all but quite frankly I think it was because I was being a little careless with my application, so not Sally Hansens fault at all!

Celeb City is a gorgeous metallic silver which I think is a true true silver colour it has tiny tiny microshimmers in it but basically it's silver.

The wear of the polish... O...M...G... AMAZING! I put this on Thursday and only had 2 minor chips a week later (see 2nd picture below). I'm hoping this wasn't a fluke or maybe it was because I used a different base coat, i'm not sure. I did buy another colour in this range so i'll be interested to see if it lasts as well as Celeb City did. I'll be sure to report back to you all on that. Actually it's not the base coat because I just noticed a chip in my current polish which is a different brand with the same base coat.

If you want to get your hands on this polish or any others in the Xtreme Wear range, I got mine at Priceline for under $7.
