This polish is Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure in 380 Peach of Cake, which I picked up for about $9.00 at Walgreens after really loving 570 Water Color which I bought about a month ago. This is pretty expensive for a nail polish, in my opinion, but for some reason I can’t bring myself to pay the same amount for an Essie polish. The Complete Salons are .5 fl oz and Essies are .46 fl oz, so there’s not that much of a difference in amount of product.
Regardless of all this, I picked up Peach of Cake because it was a color I didn’t already have, and I wanted something summery that wasn’t green, blue, or pink. All in all, I’m quite pleased with the color and the formula of these.
I applied two thin coats and a clear top coat, and, while the color isn’t completely opaque, it’s close enough that the small gaps don’t bother me. The brush is wide and the formula isn’t super thick like the Sally Hansen Instant Dry polishes, which I really like. The formula isn’t extremely thin either; it is a nice middle ground that I really like in a polish. It’s thin enough that I don’t run into giant glops of color, and it’s thick enough that it won’t take me four coats to get an even color.
I’m on day 2 of this color and I have had some chipping that came from trying to get plastic off a bottle, so I wouldn’t hold that against the polish. I always wreck my nails when I’m trying to pry the plastic covering off my morning protein shake. Other than that it is holding up well, and I’m confident that it’ll last me at least four days. I’d call these a good buy, even with the slight cons.
