Awesome product. I love this clear nail lacquer. The SAD thing is that Sally Hansen not longer produces this clear lacquer & it has been the best clear top coat ever!!!!

Cheap Sally Hansen Sugar Coat Nail Color ~ Treat-Heart 220 ~ Limited
So I was not very impressed with the first colors of Sugar Coat that Sally Hansen released. They were runny and just not very pretty. These new colors are sooooo much better. This particular color "Treat Heart" is a gorgeous shimmery light pink. It is loaded with glitter. It applies easily and dries quickly. This polish dries to a semi-matte sand texture finish. It only takes two coats for complete beautiful coverage. I just cannot get over how good this looks. It sparkles like a thousand tiny gems on my nails. It even rivals some of the much more expensive sand texture polishes out there. This is by far the best polish I have seen come out of the sugar coat line. If Sally Hansen keeps putting out colors like this...I'll keep buying them.

Discount Incoco Nail Polish Strips, Purple, Berry Charming
Once you get the "knack", these are so easy to put on! Just don't do what I did initially! I thought each package was for each hand........... wrong! Do NOT open both packages until you are ready to use them, because they will dry up, and you can't use them. Also, when you find the right size for the nail you are doing, and after applying and trimming it off, turn that strip around, pull the end off, and place it on the same finger on your other hand. I wasn't doing this. That's why I thought each package was for each hand! What a dope I was! LOL!
So overall, I love these!

Cheap Salley Hansen CHROME NAIL MAKEUP Nail Polish #41 SALMON PEARL CHROME
I like the polish, but I was hoping that "salmon pearl chrome" would be a pinkish-coral color. It's not. It's kind of an off-white. And, I thought chrome would be more mirror-like, but it's just a very creamy frost. It's nice, but not what I wanted.

Incoco Nail Polish Strips, Gray Silver, Twilight Review
I can't say enough about Sally Hansen nail strips (and Incoco nail strips)! Finally, I can have painted nails! My nails are thin and any nail polish I used chipped within two days sometimes they chipped in less than one day. I bought these based on the reviews and I had very low expectations, I think because what works for most people's nails usually doesn't work for me.
Honestly, the first trial didn't go well. They chipped almost immediately around the edges, but it wasn't terribly noticeable because of the pattern. The rest of the polish stayed on nicely.
The second trial was much betterI learned how to smooth the edges better so no chips. After 7 applications, I thought I'd write a review it's FOR REAL!!!
WHAT I LIKE:
*Nails last at least 7 days (they probably last longer, but I have to keep my nails very short for my sport, so I have to change nail polish once a week)
*The patterns make my short nails look feminine
*They are instantly dry no waking up in the morning with smudges!!!
*They are affordable I get TWO applications from each box because my nails are short
THE DOWNSIDE:
*Taking the nail polish off is a process have plenty of nail polish remover on hand and patience, too.
*Putting the nail strips on takes longer than painting nails. (If you count dry-time the strips are faster than regular polish, but the application time is longer.)
SALLY HANSEN VS. INCOCO
*Sally Hansen's strips come in TWO separate pouches, so I can have two applications. Incoco's strips come in one pouch that can be resealed. Sometimes the second set can dry out and not work.
*Sally Hansen's strips are often available on Prime so you can get them faster (and cheaper) than Incoco's strips
*Incoco's big advantage is tasteful designs. Some are just gorgeous. I'm a 40+ woman and am not interested in skulls and tattoo art on my fingers. Most of Sally Hansen's patterns are targeted at teens. Incoco's designs are beautiful and more appropriate for women.
TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION
*Make sure the room is WARM. I turn on a space heater.
*Once you have the polish in place, smooth it down well with your fingers.
*Make sure to smooth the tips well any rough edges will "catch" on fabric and chip
*Apply a clear top coat within 24 hours.
*Apply a second top coat after 3 or 4 days.
My other favs for pedi are: Runway, Rock on, and used to be Ballerina Princess but I think that is on its way out... I plan to try Cobra Couture this year. I like Oscar night as well if you want a warm color. Twilight is the one I wore the most last year. (and yes you can use the finger ones on the toes see below). I mostly keep my hands in a classic white french tip with an occasional overlay of the "pixie" french film from incoco just the sheer over my gel manicure. So like to have more fun with the toenail colors.
I am attaching the same thing below that I posted in other reviews in case you haven't seen it before you might find it helpful if you are new to nail films.
---------------
I love nail films. I stumbled across them about 6 years ago and have been using them exclusively ever since no more polish here. I have been using Incoco products for at least 5 years and just discovered they are available on Amazon. I had been ordering directly from Incoco before. They are a wonderful invention others have jumped on board since that time as well, but Incoco has the best selection IMO.
TIPS AND TRICKS
Using manicure strips for pedicures
I use a lot of the manicure colors as pedicures including this color. I can usually get at least two, sometimes three pedicures out of a kit as one fingernail strip can often do two, sometimes 3 toenails.
TIP: Use a manicure scissors to cut the strips off cleanly, exactly where you want so you can use the remaining portion on another nail.
TIP2: If you wrap a small bit over the top of the nail cap the tip instead of filing it they will last a LOT longer.
Problems
The only problem I have is with possible drying out of the remaining nail strips. These pedicures last me at LEAST 3 weeks, but once you open the kit the strips start to dry out. So here are some tips on that...
1. Only take out the strips as you will use them. For example take out the large nail strip when you do the thumb/big toe. Leave the others covered in the package.
2. Do you work away from a fans/AC blowers, etc.
3. Seal up the package ASAP.
4. Seal it well! I use scotch tape at the end after I have squeezed out all the air I can. Then I seal that in a Ziploc with the air squeezed out.
5. If they do dry out, they will become more dry and brittle and prone to wrinkle and crack/tear as you apply. At this point I can still use them as I am an old pro by now :-) ... I've found the early wrinkles can be pressed out with a hard smooth object (like back of a spoon). Early/clean tears can be fixed with additional strips applied/lined up on the uncovered area just don't double up. But if they are too dried out you just have to throw them out! a real Bummer when you think you have a color ready to put on and open them up to find you have none!!
NEW Application tips
1. Don't worry too much about lining it up to your cuticle etc unless you are heading directly out the door! If you are staying in for the next 24 hours it will probably come off with some coaxing by you very easily. If you have to leave in an hour or so you can remove it by just peeling it off using a tweezers or other nail implement or anything even your nails (i don't recommend using them tho) to lift off the excess, or even filing it off. Just don't give up because you can't "line up" the strips.
2. I think the directions still say to file the edges. I find they last much longer if you "cap" the edge that is fold over some of the strip. Much like any salon manicure, if they do not cap the edges, it will start to pull away.
3. Mentioned above re-read above to keep your strips from drying out.
4. Cut the strips with a mani scissors. Save the paper and cover films for remainder if you are not going to use entire strip. You may want it for a toe or a patch later on.

This is absolutely a stunning color. I always get complements on it. It may look dark on the photo, but it has a shimmer to it. So it looks a bit silvery/glassy but also purple, blue to green dark and light at the same time it is hard to peg down. Like when oil is floating on water kind of thing. Also depends how the light hits it. Anyway it is one of my other favorites for pedicures. I have noted a few others throughout the Incoco collection out here on Amazon tho I usually order directly from the source.My other favs for pedi are: Runway, Rock on, and used to be Ballerina Princess but I think that is on its way out...

Love Incoco, but the color on this one was slightly different than I expected. (There was a lot more blue in it.) Love the product, and how long it'll last me even made it through an EXTREME cleaning weekend, with no scratches or chips!

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Regular Nail Enamel - Clear - 0.45 oz Review
My nails grow fast and are naturally a bit soft and bendy. My nails would grow a decent amount, then snag, break, or just get so dirty and ragged and uneven that I would clip them super-close to avoid being embarrassed by them. I never had the money to go to a salon and even if I did, I don't trust anyone who wants to clip off my cuticles! Nor did I want fake nails they had always struck me as uncomfortable, unsanitary, a bit dangerous, and just too false-looking. So I had just figured that my nails would stay in their sorry state until I was old enough and bourgeois enough to afford a good-quality weekly manicure.
Then I became single for the first time in 6 years, and found I wanted to pamper myself and do something to feel more feminine in a small and easy way. People notice nails I know I was always aware of which of my friends had glossy, beautiful nails. I specifically went into the nail-hardener search looking for a product that would give me long, glossy, hard, natural nails.
I was honestly looking for a different product with higher reviews (OPI's strengthener) and after trying 3 different stores without success, I bought Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails in Clear instead, out of sheer shopping exhaustion. It's available everywhere and cost at least 5 dollars less than what I was looking for. At Target it cost less than 2 dollars.
I also bought a super cheap 4-sided nail buffer (also less than 2 bucks at Target). I wanted my nails to look as smooth and shiny as possible and I knew that progressive-sided buffers like this were the best first step. I once got roped into buying a 25 dollar buffer-and-moisturizer set from a mall kiosk salesman what a crock! You can buy the same buffer anywhere for less than 2 bucks and get perfect shiny nails.
That night I used the various sides of the nail buffer to sand down the ridges in my nails, buff, and shine all 10 nails. A note sometimes it's easier to hold the buffer still and move your nail over it instead, especially when doing your dominant hand.
Then I washed my hands (there's a fine dust that comes off your nails from the buffing). I noticed that my nail tips were looking a bit yellow, so I soaked them in a strong solution of hydrogen peroxide, water, and lemon juice for about 5 minutes, until they had clearly bleached out to a shade much closer to white. I washed again and dried thoroughly.
Then the moment of truth I got the medicinal-looking little bottle out of its package and opened it. As I applied it, I was very happy with how easy it is to apply. It's clear, so it's tough to mess up, even if you're as uncoordinated as I am. I applied one coat to my nail and one coat to the underside of the nail.
This stuff dries reasonably fast. I gave it 30 minutes or so on each hand before doing anything strenuous.
I was immediately pleased by how shiny my nails were. The gloss is high on this product, which for me was a big plus like having shiny hair, I feel shiny nails look healthy, youthful, feminine, and pretty. It's clear, so it's understated, but it's still obvious my nails have been cared for.
That was Friday night. This is Monday night, so I've had it on about 72 hours. I had a big 3 days that involved a trip to an amusement park, a day-trip to Washington DC, and a day's work as a nanny. Despite having only applied 1 coat, my nails are still nearly as shiny and nice right now as they were Friday. After 3 days of being rough with my hands, none of my nails have chipped, torn, cracked, split, or peeled in the last 3 days, even though they are all at an advanced stage of growth. They are long and shiny and glorious, and they definitely don't bend anywhere near as much as they did they're positively hard, in fact.
I am a convert and a believer. If you're interested in a glossy, hard nail that lasts long enough to grow out, I recommend Hard as Nails without reservation. Cheap, available, glossy, effective.
This product may not be for everyone, but bottom line it's saved my nails, no questions asked. Besides that, it's a total value for under $4 a jar. I'm usually fond of higher-end brands, but I would MUCH rather get two of these for the price of one bottle of essie or OPI.
If you're consistent with its application, you won't be disappointed!

I used this many years ago. Couple of months ago my nails had gotten to be a good lengh and wanted them to stay that way till my daughters wedding. So I started using it. With in a few weeks all my nails broke off, are split, cracked and in horrible shape. It had to be this product cause I have never had this problem before using this product. Now I have no nails, nothing to file they are so short. Must have changed the formula, was so disapointed.Best Deals for Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Regular Nail Enamel - Clear - 0.45 oz
Love, love, love. I know this keeps getting a lot of bad reviews, but it's been a fantastic product for me. I do have to agree, if you only use one coat, it will come off rather easily. However, I've been slathering this on, and it works wonders. I feel I have "normal" nails, but they are quick to split and break most days. I'm in food service, so I can't have any polish, technically, but I want my nails to be longer, so I use it since it's clear. It's been wonderful, even with all the handwashing. I applied two coats before I spent 2 weeks abroad in Japan, and my nails were all flawless, except by the end it had started to peel off, and the tiniest bit of splitting was evident. However, as soon as I arrived home, I brushed on two more coats, and no fuss!This product may not be for everyone, but bottom line it's saved my nails, no questions asked.

Honest reviews on Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Regular Nail Enamel - Clear - 0.45 oz
In an effort to put a stop my nail-biting routine, I decided to apply some clear nail polish to my fingernails every once in a while. While the polish does its job well (it doesn't taste awful but reminds me that I shouldn't bite my nails :P) it also comes off pretty easily. The layer of polish will consistently come off a couple days after its application, and is quite easy to peel off manually when it does. I suppose it would probably last longer when applied over another layer of nail polish, but still.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Regular Nail Enamel - Clear - 0.45 oz
this stuff doesn't last a day.....it chips and comes off way too easy.......I don't want to reapply nail polish in the middle of the day! Why does it not last through hand washings? I hate it. Waste of money.
