TOOK ME 3 YEARS TO GET THIS!

It is all about pretty because this whole post is 99% pics. Of one polish. The polish I have wanted since this nail mania started when I accidentally happened upon Chloe's blog. It's still one of my favorites even though she stopped blogging 2 years ago. SO many of the polishes I own are directly her fault.

This is a Sally Hansen Nail Prism, Turquoise Opal. It's one of those amazing polishes that probably didn't get enough credit it when it was introduced, and it's one of those polishes I look at and wonder why on earth they would ever stop making it. I've occasionally looked for it on eBay, and when I searched the other night I found one for $39.99 and one that was started at $4.99. I snagged that one at the tail end of the auction for $11.50. I was more than a smidge pleased with myself. 

This is one of those polishes that needs underwear, and I this is one coat over a single layer of black. When I was swatching it, I did try it on its own, but it wasn't this good even after 5 coats. Def needs the underwear.

I think I took about 50 pictures and still wasn't able to capture every color. I finally had to give up trying. On the many shots where my hands seem to be yellow or some other odd, not quite Diane flesh-tone, rest assured the polish is showing its true color.

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 
 
 



Even now as I'm looking at all these pictures, I'm upset that I couldn't capture it the way it deserves. It's been awhile since I felt the need to take a picture while driving. I would have taken more but as luck would have it, I didn't hit any of the red lights. Figures, right?

I'm in love with this polish, obviously. I'll continue to search for it and hope to snag another at some point just so I have it. I'm probably going to stamp over it, but I'm not taking it off for at least one more day.

It's not like I'm going to get bored with it because every time I move I see a different color.
