Sally Hansen - Cha-Ching


Sally Hansen - Cha-Ching

Sally Hansen Cha-Ching

My jaw almost dropped off my face when I first encountered Sally Hansen's Gem Crush collection. Glitter galore and so many colors to choose from! Of course, I am almost always drawn to anything red and sparkly, so I picked up Cha-Ching. Cha-Ching contains tons of red micro glitter and larger pieces of silver glitter. I was so excited to wear this polish and it went on easily enough, and only took 2 coats to achieve full coverage. The coverage, however, appears dull without a topcoat, even with all that glitter packed in. A topcoat fixes that little problem right up, but there's still another problem with this polish. It completely chips off the nail in about a day!!! This is with a good base and topcoat! I know glitter polishes don't have super amazing staying power, but this flakes everywhere and even came off the nail in one full swoop. Ironically, the polish that did not chip off was very difficult to remove.. Needless to say, I wanted to love this polish so much but am terribly disappointed. Shame on Sally Hansen :( At first I thought the Gem Crush line was a limited edition, but it has been in stores for a while, looks like it's here to stay (hopefully with a re-formulation).
