but that's about it. My daughter thought that chocolate brown would look good with this teal color; however, it didn't really show up underneath because there wasn't enough contrast. It was a pretty rich dark chocolate color too...espresso. We tried this with black and it really looks pretty nice. Its not as dramatic as I would have liked and its probably not something anyone would notice without really looking unless the lighting hits it right. The look is definitely not what is printed on the brush handle on top of the bottle! It is similar but much more subtle. I think a black crackle or shatter overcoat would be better because it wouldn't be limited to one undercoat color.
As far as application, it goes on nice and smooth...as long as you are generous with the amount on the brush and you get it done quick! Do not go over the same area twice too often to try to 'fix' anything or try to put it on with just a little on the brush because, either way, it will take off the undercoat polish and smear it. You will have to do it all over again! As soon as I figured this out it was pretty simple. Be generous with the amount and put it on in smooth even strokes. If you miss a spot, go back and do it after the first coat dries.

Discount Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Fast Dry Nail Color: Flashy Fuchsia #220
Just left feeback, but can't find it. The only other feedback left about this product is not an accurate feedback. I change my polish every few days. This polish is perfect, as described as shown. It is worth the money as well. If you want a cheap product, do not buy this. It goes on professional not cheap. In addition, often people do not read the complete description. This brand of polish is always perfect. I do not always leave feedback for stuff I buy, but this product is worth an A+++++++ rating.
NOT!!!!!!! I received (1) Sally Hansen pink polish as pictured, but thought the picture was wrong. I always go by the product description when ordering, but this time I did not get what I expected. I was also charged shipping (free shipping indicated in item description). This is NOT worth $4.54 + shipping + tax. I always read product reviews before I buy and wish there had been one for this item. Save your money.

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear, Twisted Pink, 0.4 Fluid Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $2.82

I like how bright this particular color comes on. Everyone noticed and commented on how pretty and vibrant it was. The polish is really easy to take off. On some of my fingers it just peeled off in one big piece.It does chip pretty easy. The stuff dries so fast that sometimes it becomes tacky while you are applying it which is annoying but for the price (1.99 at wal mart) and size of the bottle you can't complain too much.

Maybe I got a bad bottle of this stuff but it is very thick and hard to apply smoothly. I've tried other colors from this line and they don't have this problem, so I'm not sure what's up with this one. I've applied it multiple times and each times it's gotten thick and clumpy in the middle of the application.Honest reviews on Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear, Twisted Pink, 0.4 Fluid

Sally Hansen 2-in-1 Nail White Pencil with Cuticle Pusher, 0.03 oz Reviews
I've been using nail white pencils for the past 15 years just to even out the line between my nail plate and free edge. They work wonderfully if you sharpen them and wet juuuust the tip in a drop of water. It does wash off after several handwashings, but as needed reapplication is quick and easy! This, along with a fresh filing and a coat of clear, makes my nails look acrylic-perfect without the damage!!
But I do have good news: I took a chance and ordered the "Flowery" brand from Amazon, and it is harder material and easy to sharpen, works just like the Revlon and seems like it will last a long time.

I have ordered (on purpose) this pencil on three separate occasions. No matter how carefully I sharpen it and apply it to nails, the pencil reduces to talc and does not dutifully do one nail well. I will not order a fourth!Best Deals for Sally Hansen 2-in-1 Nail White Pencil with Cuticle Pusher, 0.03 oz
If you have been looking for the Revlon nail whitening pencil, do not buy the Sally Hansen version. It doesn't sharpen well; it breaks off every time I get it to a point sharp enough to work. Very frustrating. Unfortunately, it looks like Revlon has discontinued their version.But I do have good news: I took a chance and ordered the "Flowery" brand from Amazon, and it is harder material and easy to sharpen, works just like the Revlon and seems like it will last a long time.

Purchased several at one time and not one will hold a point. Sharpen and break . . . sharpen and break. No matter how easy you are they break. A pencil a week is a little too expensive. Other brands have held up with sharp points these will not! Once a bad pencil but after several, a bad product.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Sally Hansen 2-in-1 Nail White Pencil with Cuticle Pusher, 0.03 oz
I was sorry to see my walgreens stopped carrying these! My nails get compliments they are so white. The previous reviewer was maybe not wetting the tip per instructions. That allows you to gently glide the pencil under the nails so the tip doesn't break.Monday, May 26, 2014

Discount Sally Hansen Mega Shine Nail Treatment-0.43 oz
I purchased this and my expectations weren't high. I was thinking it would dry my polish faster and that's about it! I was sooo wrong! This polish is so amazing!!! Not only does it dry my color polish faster but my nails look like I just left the salon!!..Actually to me they look better than some salons that I've been to! My nails look so glossy and they feel so smooth when I run my fingertips over them!. I hope Sally Hansen keeps on making Mega Shine b/c I love this product and it's saving me tons of money by not having to go to the nail salon!
To give you background on the product. I purchased it new in box from local drug store. I used it as soon as I opened it when I arrived home.
Overall satisfied with the top coat and will most likely purchase again... But this time from Amazon since it was quite a bit cheaper (even when it was on sale in store)

Cheap Surgi-wax Brazilian Waxing Kit For Private Parts, 4-Ounce Boxes
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $20.94
Sale Price: $16.47
Today's Bonus: 21% Off

I love this product! I started using it in August of '09 and have repurchased it many times. I had never waxed any part of my body before using this and took a big risk going with a Brazilian my first time out. It can be messy, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be a pro in no time.
Here are some key tips based on my experience:
1) Make sure the wax is heated until it's thin enough to get all the way down to the skin. If it's too thick and sits on top of your hair, it's going to hurt when you pull it off. Warning though, it will be hot when you apply it. Find the right temperature that is comfortable for you, but is thin enough to apply down to the skin level. For me personally, I like it very liquidy/thin.
2) Pull it off quickly! Don't be tentative, if you go fast it won't hurt at all.
3) Buy a mug warmer to keep it heated. I bought mine from Fry's Electronics for about $10. This is a must in my opinion. Before I bought the warmer, I had to keep going back to my microwave to reheat the wax.
4) Make sure you use the oil and re-apply if you need to. Occasionally I'll have to go over the same area more than once and it's a good idea to re-apply oil there to make sure the wax doesn't stick.
My method:
I sit on a towel and use a lighted mirror with magnification. This really helps to see what I'm doing. I also use a tweezer to get any stray hairs that may not have been picked up by the wax. I follow up with tea tree oil which I believe helps prevent ingrown hairs. I've heard that lotion/moisturizer with salicylic acid also prevents ingrown hairs, but I personally haven't tried this yet.
Although I'm not a hairy person (I'm Asian) my hair seems to grow out fairly quickly. I hate stubble, so I end up waxing once every week. One container/tub lasts me about 5-6 waxes. I buy the 3-pack and I'm on the Amazon subscription plan so it's even cheaper. This is the cheapest price around. Good luck!
*Update 8/11/12*
I just wanted to add that I started using tea tree oil right after I wax and it has made a huge difference. It really helps prevent ingrown hairs and it also makes the hair grow back slower and thinner. Now I can go for 2-3 weeks without waxing. I use Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil.
A few tips:
Definitely apply the oil before you wax. This is to make sure you pull on only the hair and not your skin since without oil the wax will stick to your skin.
Look away when you pull. This helped me to gather strength because if I look at it then I chicken out, and I end up tugging on the hair which makes it more painful.
For females, wax 2 weeks after you period. I heard this is when your skin is not so sensitive so it's less painful.
This wax IS the BEST at home wax for bikini, underarm and even legs! Don't be fooled by the "For Private Parts" slogan on the boxit is amazing! I have about 6 jars at home becuase I am afraid I will run out, or they'll stop making it!
If you have never done a biki waxhere are a few tips from a LONG time waxer...at home and salon:
-DO take advil or tylenol (NOT ASPIRIN; will cause you to bleed if you accidently pull to hard on your hair) before you waxwait at least 30 mins.
---Trim hair, the longer the hair, the harder for the wax to stick and more chances the hair will "curl" or get "tangled" in the wax and be pulled in the wrong direction (this causes pain).
---Don't try to wax a 5 inch section. Go 2 X 1 inches, especially f your a newbie.
--Do use the pre wax oil and wait at least 5 minutes before waxing.
--Wax in whatever position you feel comfortable. Some of us sit on the floor for the top parts of our bikini wax, some of us stand.
-DO place newspaper under your feet / or when sitting on the floor-this will catch any "drops" that may fall.
--DO ENJOY your new brazilian wax!!!
:)
TIPS:
If you are a newbie to brazilian waxing, definitely get it done professionally first a few times. After the first couple waxes, you will notice that your hair growth is slowly, thinner, and more sparse (remember hair grows in cycles!) So when you do the brazilian yourself with SurgiWax, you won't need to cover so much ground! Even though I consider myself a pro with brazilian waxing now, I still get it professionally done once or twice a year, because it's just so ridiculously thorough.
Invest in a coffee mug warmer. I know a lot of reviewers have said this. Listen to us! If you don't get a mug warmer, you will be making a lot of trips to the microwave!
Lay out a towel to sit on. Seriously. I like my wax very thin and hot, so a lot of times they drip before it even reach where I want it to. I have a "SurgiWax" towel now (because the wax is impossible to get off the towel. So just say goodbye to your jankiest towel and put it to good use.
The microwave times on the jar is incorrect. But usually, I microwave the jar for a minute first, and then in 30 second increments. Usually, it takes me 2.5 minutes to heat up the jar (when it's full)... Again, I like my wax thin. But that's just a personal preference.
If your bedroom closet has a sliding door mirror, then you are in luck. If not, invest in a standup mirror. If you want to be thorough, you definitely need a mirror to get in all those nooks and crannies.
When I first started waxing, I thought it would hurt more the further back into your precious lady. That is NOT true. Start from your bum, and work your way toward the top. It actually doesn't hurt as much back there. Your skin tends to be more sensitive where it's closer to the belly.
Even though I like my wax thin, when I spread it on, I like to spread a little bit more on where I am going to rip it off from. You'll thank me later :)
When you are about to pull the wax, hold your skin taut! and I mean really taut! The tighter your skin, the easier it'll be to pull it.
Apply pressure to the skin right after you pull the wax.
If you are like me and run out of the pre-epilation oil before the wax, DO NOT FEAR! I found baby oil to be a good substitute!
You are on your way to looking good once you get over the intimidation factor of brazilian wax.
Good luck :)

I started out using Surgi-wax to do a Brazillian style wax. I got about 2 waxes out of it, and it did a great job, but I thought it was bit expensive considering shipping and handling. So, I bought Sally Hansen's bikini wax kit at my local store. It's soft wax...and was a painful nightmare! It was messy, and didn't remove the hair efficiently, which meant redoing a lot of areas. The wax stuck to everything and was a HUGE mess! I quit half way thru and just shaved. Plus, I was left with swollen, red welts for a week. THUS, I HIGHLY recommend Surgi-wax! It's worth the money, and it works. The hard wax is so much easier to deal with. It takes out the hair in one yank, which means less pain. It gets 99% of the hair and leaves skin soft and smooth for at least 3 weeks (for me anyway). The wax stays pliable for about 10 minutes, and you do have to make repeat trips, but that is better than dealing with the insane stickiness of soft wax. The oil that comes with the kit is great to use before and after waxing. Once you've used hard wax you'll never go back to soft waxing with cloth strips! Surgi-wax is a great product.Best Deals for Surgi-wax Brazilian Waxing Kit For Private Parts, 4-Ounce Boxes
This stuff doesn't completely remove every piece of hair but it's cheap (compared to a $80 session at a salon) and does the job well. I highly recommend it! I found this way better than shaving since 1 day after shaving I'd get stubble and itch. YES the first few times are painful, but as your hair thins out from waxing, it shouldn't be as painful after. Therefore, do this every month to prevent your hair from grown back thick. One complaint I have is that the microwave directions weren't very accurate. They say to microwave the wax for no more than a minute but with my 1100 watt microwave, I had to microwave for more than 2 minutes before the wax was spreadable. I get 2 waxes out of one jar. This works well on armpits, too.A few tips:
Definitely apply the oil before you wax. This is to make sure you pull on only the hair and not your skin since without oil the wax will stick to your skin.
Look away when you pull. This helped me to gather strength because if I look at it then I chicken out, and I end up tugging on the hair which makes it more painful.

Yes, Brazilian Bikini Waxing hurts, there is no doubt about it. It is an acquired habit. I personally LOVE waxing down under, no more ingrown hairs, no bumps. It's wonderful! This wax is comparable to salon wax. Doing it at home was easy. The wax picks up all the hair. But I have discovered another amazing use for this wax--my underarms!!!

Surgi Wax is definitely the best in brazilian wax, in terms of getting the job done, price, and pain level. It gets most of the hair out (and I mean 99%), it's very reasonably priced (1 jar lasts me 4 waxes), and it doesn't hurt... that much. Well, I think hard wax hurts less than soft wax (applied with a muslin strip), and it's a lot cleaner.TIPS:
If you are a newbie to brazilian waxing, definitely get it done professionally first a few times.

Buy Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Luminous Matte Pressed Powder .23 oz
I've just paid a high price for this item because I don't know what I'll use to replace it yet. I love the color on my fair skin, but will be searching for something new in the coming months.I guess after seeing it used on What Not to Wear, and reading the description, I wasn't actually expecting sparkles. It's not major, but it is there. I'm not sure it actually does all that much. The powder itself is light and goes on well, but I wouldn't purchase again. Which I couldn't if I wanted to as I understand the Carmindy/Sally Hansen collection has been discontinued.
