Sally Hansen Princess Cut

This is a newer color from the Sally Hansen Diamond Strength line. I saw it and was interested, since I like Glass Slipper so much, and this seemed like it may be the pink equivalent.

Sally Hansen Princess Cut is a pink flakie in a sheer pink base. I can't decide if the flakies are iridescent or not. What do you think?

Layering for these pictures is over the following polishes:
Barielle Car-ess (ultimate creme nude)
Models Own Pastel Pink (medium creme pink)
Petites Night (black creme)
Sally Hansen White On (creme White)

Closer shot of over black and white, which will likely give you the best idea of what it looks like. Over black, you can really see the different sized pieces of material. There is also a fine pink shimmer on the nail, but this is the only polish I see it on, so I'm still deciding if it is shimmer in the polish. Over white, you can see that it tints your base color, so that's something to think about before layering.

On its own, just for reference. I had a hard time getting a good shot where you could see I had something on my nails. It darkens your tip so on its own it'll make your nails look dirty or stained and the flakies are barely visible, so I'd def only use this to layer.

What do you think of this polish? I'm kinda meh about it. I'm not thrilled with it over any of the polishes I layered. Do you have a polish in mind I can use that will make me like it? =) I'm open to suggestions!

  2. I think it looks like an not to much in your face iridescent flakey. Like it. I had seen it in Rite Aide but passed on it thinking it would look like Zoya's they did in that set of 3 flakies - one is in a pinky base.
