Going to a salon for a traditional five-step manicure is a time investment that many busy modern women just can’t make. Sally Hansen has come to the rescue with a complete salon-like manicure in a single wonder bottle that has been garnering rave reviews.
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure (RRP €8.99) is a 7-in-1 formula that will nourish, sooth and pamper your nails as well as give them a pop of lustrous on-trend colour to add to your spring wardrobe. It includes a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, a topcoat and shiny, chip resistant, highly pigmented colour – all in one multi‐tasking polish.
While a manicure usually involves five layers (strengthener, base coat, two applications of polish, and top coat) the Sally Hansen product has a two-coat application, is quick to dry and easy to remove. Plus, it doesn’t leave nails stained or dulled after it’s removed.
Inspired by runway trends, the collection of 38 colours will ensure your nails suit your mood this spring whether its nude sophistication, saucy pinks, flirty corals, sassy reds or sultry night-time metallics .
The technology:
Formulated with three time-released protecting shine enhancers, Complete Salon Manicure has a keratin complex for up to 64 per cent stronger nails. Housed in breakthrough nano-tubes, the shine enhancers are released as your nails flex during daily wear and tear, helping to provide maximum chip-resistance.
The brush:
This precision brush developed exclusively by Sally Hansen has an 800-bristle count with precision product pick up.
