WHERE TO FIND THEM:The Sally Hansen® ColorFoil™ Nail Makeup collection is available beginning June 2014 at chain drug stores, food stores, and mass merchandisers nationwide.

The shades I am showing you today are: Liquid Gold, Purple Alloy, Cobalt Chrome, Sterling Silver & Minted Metal. Since these polishes are metallic I decided to also do some stamping swatches since metallic polishes usually work well with nail stamping & these polishes did not disappoint! Each swatch was done with just one coat and no top coat. The middle & ring nails are stamp swatches done over black polish with no top coat. Since metallics can be kind of difficult to photograph since they are so reflective I decided to take pics of the swatches both inside with flash aswell as outside in natural light.


Liquid Gold: I really like this shade as I feel it's not always easy finding a true gold shade, some are too yellow, some are too bronzey, but in my opinion this is just right.

Purple Alloy: A pretty purple chrome shade.

Cobalt Chrome: A nice blue chrome, although I personally don't consider this to be "cobalt" blue, it's more like steel blue.

Sterling Silver: The name says it all; a nice highly reflective metallic sterling silver shade. In the first pic it looks as if it has a yellowish tint to it, but that's just the reflection from my camera flash.

Minted Metal: A beautiful minty green metallic shade.

Overall Review: I really like these polishes a lot! They are easy to apply, dry quickly, they come from a trusted brand and they stamp beautifully!!! They are opaque in just one coat which I love & have a beautiful shiny metallic/chrome-like finish! I did not find the formula to be streaky either, which can sometimes be a problem with chrome polishes. You should be able to find this collection at local drugstores but grab them quick as these are limited edition! I will say when you stamp with these that you should work quickly as these polishes dry quickly and also I found it worked best with a hard rubber stamper. I initially tried stamping these with my squishy firm stamper but it would not pick up this polish, but when I used my Konad double ended stamper it picked up this polish with no problem. Have you tried these yet? What do you think?

Not that we have these in the UK (I'm currently stalking eBay) but I am really glad to see these work as stampers. I was hoping they might - great post
