Sally Hansen Navy Baby and Calypso Blue

I have for you today 2 polishes I picked up in Boots a few weeks ago, they are from the Sally Hansen line of 'Complete Salon Manicure' polishes.  These polishes are described as a complete manicure as they are '5 Products in 1 Bottle'  They advertise as not needing a Base Coat or Top Coat as they contain both of these alongside Growth Treatment, Hardener and Colour.

I only got the two of these as had never tried them before and even though I seen a few other colours I liked I thought I would get 2 to try first.

As always I went straight for the blues, a light and a dark one.  I love both of the colours on the nail but had a bit of a problem with application due to the brush.  It was rather wide and did not have a straight edge at the tip so this caused me a few issues when applying.  This seems to be the design of the brush as the website describes it as an 'exclusive double brush to cover the entire nail surface in 1 even stroke'

Even though the product does not require it, I never really go without a base coat so I still just done my nails the usual way.

Here is the first one I got, Navy Baby.  I absolutely love this polish as it is a very dark navy blue with a blue glowing shimmer running through it.  This is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Navy Baby and 1 of the Shield.





Next I have for you Calypso Blue, which is a lighter blue colour with a shimmer running through it too.  I apologise in advance for the funky colour of my hands in these pictures, no matter how many different ways I tried to take the photo, these were the only ones that showed the actual colour of the polish, but made the colour of my hands funny.

Anyway, this is 1 coat of the Knight, 3 of Calypso Blue, and 1 of the Shield.




I would probably pick up some more of these polishes if the colour was great but the brush does put me off a little bit.  It may be fine for others, but it just wasn't really working for me, which I hate saying as I don't really like being negative about a brand but I also feel I should be honest with you guys.

Thanks for looking <3
