Nails of the Day: Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in Good to Grape

Another winner in my book, Good to Grape is a really creamy opaque mid-toned purple. It reminds me of China Glaze "Spontaneous". I tried to find another review on this shade so I could find out what collection its from and the odd thing is, I couldn't find one single picture of it on google images. Could it be that my review will be the first of its kind? And if it is not, please, do not ruin this moment for me. I found this color along with about 3 other brand new shades at Walgreens if you are interested. I had been to Rite Aid and CVS prior to going to Rite Aid so I could see if anyone had any of the SH Crinoline left and sadly, they did not. And Walgreens was the only store I had visited that had Good to Grape. The formula can kind of vary from shade to shade but this one is pretty much identical to Himalayan Blue in that it is very creamy with a rich and beautiful pigmentation. I am a three coats kind of girl whether I think two coats did the trick or not but I really think that this one is best with three coats. I used the Revlon Colorstay Top Coat which I've been enjoying lately over top. I have found that my manicures with the Revlon top coat + a Sally Complete polish have lasted upwards of 7-8 days. A rather large milestone worth mentioning. Enjoy! All photos included are taken by me.

And for fun, my little girl wanted to get in on the action and show HER nails of the day (below) by Essie, I refuse to say the name of the shade because of one of the words being "risque" and inappropriate to be associated with a young girl. But the second word is "Divide". Thanks!

    1. That is a shame. I thought China Glaze "Spontaneous" was a good dupe, you should check it out! I found a pic here http://shizzle-nizzle.blogspot.com/2009/03/notd-china-glaze-spontaneous.html

    1. She even took the picture herself. I didn't even know she did it. She is my mini-me, loves makeup and nail polish, and loves watching YT videos on makeup stuff. So funny, I've created a monster!
