Sally Hansen Laser

Sally Hansen Laser is a deep blue glass-flecked shimmer with purple duochrome. When I applied the first coat, it looked very sheer, but I got a good opacity with three coats. However, I had a heck of a time getting the purple to show on camera - most of the pictures I took made Laser look like a simple, bright blue. For some reason, the picture that shows the purple the best is also the blurriest...oh well.

I did take a picture in the sun, but it's not color-accurate at all, so I'm not including it. However, none of these pictures are truly accurate. The polish in real life is more like royal purple and royal blue - the shade is closest to that shown in the second picture. It's absolutely gorgeous, and if you like blurples at all, definitely get your hands on Laser.

    Holy crap, that is beautiful! Why are purples so hard to capture in pictures? Lol. I love burples!

    Tilly- :( I'm sorry you can't get them...Laser is definitely the star of the collection in my eyes, though; I don't like the others (except probably DVD) nearly as well.

    Aurora's Nails- Thanks! I don't know why purples are so hard to capture. I wish they weren't, but oh well.

    I really like the look of the polish.....but not a total fan of blue...and that is what I see...LOL ...but I do love purple...and it sure would be nice to see it. But I take your word for it. :)

    Ok stupid Swede here...but why do you say purples?

    Have a great Monday! I might take a little break from blogging, because I have a pile of stuff to do. I've been messing around too much too long. Just thought I'd let you know. But I will definitely pop in and see you. :)

    xoxo

    shortnails- I only wore it for two days, but it didn't chip at all during that time.

    Inga- The purple does show up a LOT more in real life, I promise. And I'm not sure what you mean by asking why I say purples...maybe you mean blurples? If that's the case, blue + purple = blurple. :) I hope you have a great Monday as well! I definitely empathize with needing to take a blogging break. I will probably have to do that soon with school starting soon.
