Hard As Wraps - Update/Review

Last Sunday I blogged about a new Sally  Hansen's Hard as Nails, Hard as Wraps nail polish I purchased which is normally quite pricey but I got at it half price. (Click here to go to that post)

We it's been 5 days since I painted my nails with it and now it's time to tell you the results.  First here are the pictures of my finger nails 5 days after painting it...

Let's see of their 2 claims about their product are true:

1.  FLAWLESS COLOR THAT LASTS (4/5 stars)
As you can see [kind of] see the nail polish has worn off on all finger nails.  They claimed that the color would last longer but for me it lasted about the same time as the cheaper versions of Sally Hansen's I have purchased.  But my with my job and lifestyle (washing poopoo, kids hands, rubbing on hand sanitizer many times a day, shampooing my hair everyday, etc, etc..) Even the toughest, most expensive nail polish won't stay on perfectly for more than 5 days (actually it's started wearing off on the 3rd and 4th day already).

I give a 4/5 because it did last through my working days reasonably well and it's definitely better than those 3 for 15 baht nail polish hehe...I shouldn't compare I know...=D

2.  NAILS THAT WON'T BREAK OR PEEL (5/5 stars)
It also claims that I will get hard nails that won't crack or peel.  Well, guess what!  It actually seems like it's working.  Normally by now my nail polish is off because I've peeled the top layer of the finger nail off (they're terrible like that my nails!).  But even as I try to force to peel my finger nail right now it won't budge!

Anyways, I gota prepare for church tonight.  I'll put on a new layer of nail polish (after removing the old one of course), freshen myself up and head off.  Have a nice weekend!

Nail Polish Marathon

I've been putting on nail polish on, different colors in a row for a pretty long time now.  Even before makeup I would collect nail polish.  I had a whole bunch which I gave away before I started work.  But then I found out I could wear nail polish to work so I've started collecting again!

I just want to share on 2 Sally Hansen nail polish's I own.

The first is this bluish kinda glitter one. It's Sally Hansen's Hard as Nail Xtreme Wear in (19) Marine Scene.  I have this for some time and almost used up half of it already.

Here is the bottle:

I'm so glad I work in a place where I can paint my toe nails, oh and wear jeans too!  Compared to working in Thailand we dress really casually here =)

I also shared the Marine Scene nail polish with some of my youth girls.  There was a Sabbath we all brought our nail polish...hmmm...I must sound like some radical pastor's wife! HAHA

And Here's my 2nd Sally Hansen's nail polish:

It's Hard as Nails, Hard As Wraps in Mauve Cream.  It doesn't have any glitter but it gives a nice shine/gloss finish.  This one has a so-called formula that seals and hardens nails.  At the back of the box it says:

You Have - Fragile, soft, torn, chipped or cracked nails in need of protection.
                     Nail color that doesn't last through the week.
You Want - Hard nails that won't break or peel.
                     Flawless color that lasts.


I just got it last night so I'll see if it works.  So far it just seems like a normal nail polish.  I have really chipped nails, and tried different stuff to no avail so I'm still kinda in doubt about this one.  I got it because I like the color and it was on sale!

Both nail polish was on sale when I got it. =D  Actually all nail polish I've gotten so far I'd get them when their on sale.

The usual price for the bluish one was SGD$11 but I got it for $6 or $7.  The pink one was originally $14 dollars and it was on sale for $7.  I got both at Watson's.  I'm not sure if Guardian has it.

Over here the main drug stores are Guardian and Watson's.  While in Thailand it's Watson's and Boots.  So that's the comparison for you. =P

*Quick Review:

Marine Scene (bluish):  Dries quick, long-lasting.

Mauve Cream (pinkish):  Doesn't dry as quick as some other
polishes I have.  Will update on the long-lastingness and nail hardening =D
