Today’s Hard As Nails goes hand-in hand with Pink Wednesday and I’m loving the name! It’s such a contrast for the name to be Tough Chick, when it’s such a pretty, pearly pink. This polish is very sheer and it took 3 coats just to reach the opacity shown above.  Ah, well, I had nothing but time today, enjoying the sun (finally!) and a wonderfully lazy day off.  I hope you enjoyed your Hump Day!

Congrats to NADEEN!  She is the winner of the new 25-piece nail art plates from Bundle Monster.  Make sure to sign up for the June giveaway, it’s another good one!

This month’s giveaway is the new Caribbean Collection from Diamond Cosmetics (which I’ll be reviewing next week)!  One lucky reader will win the entire set shown above.  Open to all countries and winner will be chosen June 30th, 2011 at 11:59pm CST.  I’ll be announcing the winner of the May giveaway shortly, so stay tuned!

Sally Hansen, you’ve really outdone yourself revamping your Hard As Nails line!  Tough Luck is my absolute favorite of the new shades.  A frosty apple green?  Yes please!  This one shimmers and shines with the tiniest touch of gold and I really believe this is a green any skin tone could pull off.  Application was perfect, with not a single issue.  I think longer brushes are easier to handle and it seems only the more expensive polishes have this feature.  So, I’m glad to see an affordable line, that truly is salon quality.  Grab this one!

Congratulations to ROBIN!  She is the winner of the Schick Quattro TrimStyle and Razor.  Thank you to all who entered and be on the lookout for great giveaways in June!

If you’re looking for a bright, summer orange (which is affordable!) look no further than Hard To Get.  This vibrant orange, frosty-shimmer is the second polish for Hard As Nails Week and I can’t wait to wear this one as a pedi!  Although the indoor pic doesn’t show it too well, there is a slight golden glow to this orange which reminds me of a summer sunset.  Perfectly opaque in 2 coats and for a frost, it showed very little brush-strokes in the finish (a frost pet-peeve of mine).  A great, new polish at an even greater deal of $1.99!

Sally Hansen has released an entirely new collection of their Hard As Nails line and over the course of the week, I’ll be showing off some of my favorites for you!  First up is the lovely On the Rocks. I couldn’t decide if this shade was a pink or a lavender, but either way it’s a beauty.  This glass-flecked polish glistens and shimmers in any lighting and did not budge for DAYS!  I was able to wear this for 4 days with not one chip at all.  3 coats are shown above, as this is a very, very sheer polish.  I love the longer brush on these new polishes and it made for very easy application.  Stay tuned for tomorrow’s Hard As Nails review!
