Sally Hansen Sea and Be Seen

Now that I have tried to fix my 2 nails the best that I can on to the polishing. I was uber-excited to try the polishes I won from Dolly. Surprisingly enough I didn't try the Hidden Treasures first I went for the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Sea and Be Seen. This purply-blue or bluey-purple depending on you lighting has lots of tiny flecks of glitter giving the polish a nice sparkle. It just dawned on my as I type this that this series is supposed to be a basecoat, strengthener, growth treatment, color, and topcoat combined. Oops, old habits die hard and I had on OPI Basecoat.

Here it is looking more blue:

The brush took some getting used to. I have never used a brush like this and it was interesting to get used to. One stroke will cover the majority of your nail with a little on one or both edges depending on your technique. So how do I get that little bit left without have another whole stroke over the majority of my nail. I am all about uniformity and proper technique but it just seemed like I was overlapping way to much nail when I painted the second stroke. It all turned out fine in the end though.

  1. Pretty polish. Looks like you may have to trim your other nails to make them even :)

  2. I was thinking that too but these are the longest I have gotten them to grow in a long time so I am hoping to just let the other catch up somehow. My pinky and ring finger just seem to grow a lot faster than the other ones.
