    Just bought this in MANDARIN the other week at WalMart for super cheap, only about $3. It was a good deal- I find that Sally Hansen always has a ton of shades to choose from, and the quality is good enough for me.
    This shade is a good summer colour, a nice bright orange with a hint of shimmer - it would definitely look good on anyone. The polish goes on nicely too, you just have to put on two coats for a completely solid look.
    It takes a while to dry (considering 2 coats as well) but it is definitely worth it if you have the time. I used a clear top coat, but this stuff still lasts very long without any chipping.
    So far I am totally satisfied with all Sally Hansen nail polishes, plus this colour is really cute :)

    "Red Carpet" is my NEW favourite nail polish for the holidays! It's a rich sparkly red, like cranberry =) You can get away with just one coat for this shade if you're in a rush, too.

    After reading the other reviews I think that I have to pick up another bottle of this to give it a another shot... I picked up Strobe Light a nude-ish pink sparkle. I usually don't do sparkle nail polish, but it looked so great in the bottle I had to have it.

    It is a clear base, with tons of pink-y nude, and silver toned sparkles suspended in it. It is very sparkly, but the colour tones it down some.f you were going to wear sparkles to the office, this would be the shade you would want.

    I found it took three coats to get a full opaque cover (I hate seeing nail line!) but it looked amazing! Unfortunately it didn't stay that way for long. I started my nails off with an adhesive base coat and finished them with an extra life top coat, but by the end of the day I had chips, and once the chips started the entire nail (of colour) started to pull away from my nail. It was not great.

    Based on colour alone I recommend, not so much for wear, but I am going to pick up a creme shade and see if it fares better.

    As a teenager, I'm always interested in buying Nail Polish :) It's so fun to have fun-colored nails! I've been searching for a little while for a brand that is cheap in price, but high in quality. I didn't want to spend 10 dollars on one bottle of OPI nail polish, way too expensive!
    I was at my drugstore looking around and a pretty nail polish caught my eye. I looked at it and it was Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in color #25, Lime Lights. It's a beautiful sea-foam/green/blue/aqua color. I bought it and put it on as soon as I got home. This color is quite sheer, so I needed about 3 coats before I got the right color, but it's totally worth-it!
    This nail polish is 100% AMAZING! I had this on for about a week and it didn't chip at all! I was very pleased. I went to Walmart and checked what colors they had; this is when I purchased my second bottle, color #2, Green With Envy. It's a very pretty lime green color - perfect for summer. :) I've had it on since Tuesday, and it is Friday now and no chips whatsoever!
    I now have Color #31, Virtual Violet, which is currently on my toes. It's a BEAUTIFUL violet color and in the light it shines a blue-ish color. So pretty! Can't wait to wear it on my finger nails!
    Anyways, this nail polish is DEFINITELY worth the small price I payed - wait for it ... $2.47! It lasts so long, the colors are gorgeous, and it's cheap! It's my favorite nail polish I've ever tried. :) I soon will be purchasing Caribbean Coral and Blue me Away. So excited!

    If you're considering buying this, definitely go out and try it! :)

    I usually like Sally Hansen polishes, and I really liked this one as well! I only have one Salon Nail Lacquer that i bought during a 50 percent off sale, and it's called Down to Earth. I'm not quite sure how I would describe the colour, I guess a burnt sienna colour? It's not too dark though. The wear on this was about 5 days without tip wear or chipping, and it took an average time to dry. I didn't find the nail polish too thick or thin, but I didn't really like the brush. Otherwise, I'm quite impressed with this nail polish! When I checked back though, I found that there wasn't a large range of colours in stock, mostly reds, pinks and dark vampy colours.

    I bought this in "Flirt". It's a pretty dark plum/burgandy shade. It has very tiny sparkles which you can see in sunlight. It's a great polish for a drugstore brand and at 2.99 you can't lose.

    I have mixed feelings on this nail polish.. It's not very good quality but the colour makes me keep using it :P

    1. It's very thick, which makes it difficult for applying, let alone a second coat.
    2. If you don't put a clear coating in top, it will literally start to chip in minutes :(
    3. It's pretty slow-drying.
    4. The colours are GORGEOUS! I have silver but there are many bright, bold colours!

    I love these nailpolishes! I wear them over a basecoat and they go on really well, no streaks, and true to color. I bought them for only $2.99 each so it's a great value. I highly recommend the colors: "Blue Me Away" - an amazing bright blue with no shimmer/glitter; "Celeb City" - a crazy silver that looks like melted tinfoil; "Plum Power" - a great plum color that has small glitter in it; "Deep Purple" - an amazing pure violet color, but it can go on a tad watery, not a quick 1 coat color, but worth it to add more; "Twisted Pink" - a bold hot pink with loads of glitter; "Green With Envy" - a very interesting no shimmer/glitter lime/pea-ish green (it looks better than it sounds,lol!); "Emerald City" - a beautiful shimmery dark green, the perfect shade for Christmas!; and "Blue It" - an awesome dark electric blue. The only color I do not recommend is "Lime Lights" - a pale glittery light seafoam green with a hint of gold, it looks pretty but it is so sheer that it barely shows up. No amount of coats would give me bottle color, it was the total opposite of an opaque shade.

    To sum it up, this line is affordable ($2.99), has tons of fun colors, and the large majority of them have great quailty. I highly recommend this product ~ try a shade or 2 (or 5!) out. :)

    I was looking for a BRIGHT blue shade and this was the only brand of nail polish that had it, so for under $3 I definitely wanted to give it a try.

    The first coat went on kind of streaky, and I'm not sure why. I shook it up well, so there shouldn't have been any blending problems but there were some clear streaks on my nails when I applied it. But after applying the second coat, the color evened out and looked true to the color in the bottle.

    I love the shade, and overall am quite happy with this product. For under $3 I say this is a great buy, and it comes in so many interesting colors! Only downside would be that there aren't many neutral shades.

    This nail polish is about $2.50 CDN at everywhere ive been. It comes in a variety of shades, most of them being very bright. After I use these, they do not chip for more than a week! I have 5 of these, my favourite being Celeb City, an amazing foiled(?) silver. My only negative about the product is the lack of more muted colours... I would love to see a few more work friendly colours with cream finishes.

    This lasts for days without chipping and has loads of shades to choose from. My nails did not break while using the product, and it went on smooth and dried fast, hard as nails! I can say this nail polish has won me over!
