Sally Hansen in Lightening & Tweedy

Brand: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri & Fuzzy Coat Textured Nail Color

Shades: Lightening & Tweedy

(sunny yellow color with glossy finish & black and white color with textured finish)

Cost: $ & $$

The Scoop:

I was inspired by spring again here, but let's face it, this is really ugly. I thought it would look like a bumble bee. This is my second time trying the fuzzy/feather technique and I think it's safe to say this is a fad that should fade away.

Nails Inc. in York

Brand: Nails Inc. Feathers Collection (Limited Edition)

Shade: York

(peachy orange and white color, textured finish)

Cost: $$$

The Scoop:

This one isn't really a polish so much as short, thin particles suspended in gel, but isn't the bottle pretty?  It looks like spring.  It's definitely a conversation starter (2 cashiers at Fairway stopped to look at my nails), but it's not really for everyday wear.  Use about 3 coats for full coverage, file off the loose pieces (application is a bit clumpy and rough to the touch), then add a topcoat to protect the "feather" particles.
