Sally Hansen ~ #406 Purple Heart

Sally Hansen ~ #406 Purple Heart

Lavender crème

I bought today’s polish in a sale recently. It’s a really pretty lavender. I know it’s too pale for me to wear on its own, but there’s obviously a solution for that – let me get back to that in a moment.

The formula is a bit on the thin side but it’s still good to work with. I used three coats for my manicure. I would have stopped after two coats if I wasn’t a nail blogger because I honestly don’t think that the human eye would have been able to tell the difference between two and three coats. My camera however… So three coats it was. Drying time is pretty good, no worries there.

The stamp is from the stamping plate BP-L050 and I stamped with El Corazón’s stamping polish “Raspberry Wine”. I topped it all with El Corazón’s holo flakie topper “421h/25” and then I sealed it all up with a layer of ordinary topcoat.

Here’s what it all ended up looking like in daylight:

I really dig this colour combination.

Here’s “Purple Heart” alone. This is three coats and no topcoat. Like I said, it’s two pale for me to wear on its own, but I really like it with the nail art.

Here are the things I used today.

I found this gem at half price. I love polish sales!
