Sally Hansen Gem Crush Nail Color

I picked up a new nail polish about a week ago, and it's stayed on my nails since - work be damned! I thought it would be a good one to show you because I haven't really seen a glitter polish this true to the bottle except for -maybe- O.P.I/Katy Perry's Teenage Dream.


The colour I picked up was 03 Big Money, which I absolutely LOVE. It is super high glitter, with tiny gold micro-glitter and slightly chunkier lilac glitter suspended in a clear base, which combined gives an almost rose gold effect. I've never needed to use any more than two coats of this (I've applied it three times) and the amount of glitter packed on to one thin coat is just incredible. As you can see above, the wand and brush are absolutely HUGE compared to that of Sally Hansen's top coat, and from the bottle to the brush to the nail, the opacity in the glitter never changes, unlike a lot of glitter polishes in sheer bases you see.

Natural light; artificial light; under flash.
I am a massive fan of this polish and am interested in getting a few more of the colours. For now, this is definitely well worth the $10 or whatever Coles was charging (I threw it in my basket along with some soy milk and mint slices, it was a bit of a comfort night haha).

Also, sorry my nails are so haggard in this post. I currently go to uni and have a regrettable part-time job in fast food, meaning that my hands take a huge toll. Hope it's been okay anyway!
