Sally Hansen - Hidden Treasure

-its going in my "favorite polishes" collection!

my sister, Salena, and i were at Rite-Aid on Sunday and i came across [another] new Sally Hansen display!


this picture was taken with my phone's camera.

at first, i was gunna pick up the beige-y colored polish [fourth one from the right] but then i noticed that last polish; its a flake-y, iridescent polish. i immediately thought of the NFU-Oh polishes & picked it up! --its kinda ironic though, cause just a few days ago, i was looking at swatches of NFU-Oh's & to find one so similar..i was excited!


this one is Hidden Treasure; what a beauty!

i was so excited that i bought it..i tried it that night. i used Nina Ultra Pro Black & China Glaze Flyin High. this picture was taken before i put Hidden Treasure on top & it was taken in my basement with bad lighting..and its kinda blurry -__-


after this picture, i put one coat of HT on. but with the bad lighting... i couldnt take a semi-decent picture..so i waited til Monday morning to take a picture.


wah =) i love it! my camera isnt amazing so this picture isnt all that -__- i also added a few rhinestones to jazz it up a bit.


holding one of my new favorite polishes =) [my hand looks awkward..haha.]

i dont own any NFU-Oh polishes..but i REALLY wanna get a few! [im trynna convince my sister to order me some ;)] so i cant compare the two brands..but when i checked the other week, the price was around $10-12 for a bottle of NFU-Oh ? my Sally Hansen was $7.50 . [where i live, the drug stores sell Sally Hansen's for $6.99-7.99 & Targets sell Sally Hansens for $6.50 but i havent seen this new line @ Target yet.]

have you tried both of them? if so, whats your opinion on them? are you planning on picking up a bottle of Hidden Treasure?

enjoy your day!,

  1. over at makeupalley there is quite a hype about this one (may also be like opulent cloud when it came out)

    some stores don't have it yet and there are a lot of girls who are searching for it everywhere- oh well, it sucks again not living in the us...

  6. First off, I love the color scheme of your layout! (:
    Did you code it yourself? I used to code layouts by myself (mostly xanga and myspace in the past but never blogger)

    So I saw the same display in the Rite Aid a few blocks from my house and I was pretty hesitant on buying them since it's $7.95 a bottle. But after you used Hidden Treasure, I'm really considering to purchase it. I also like the middle 2 bottles (light shimmer turquoise and the metallic silver). Oh another one I saw on display was a charcoal black with silver micro glitter.. that was the one I was hesitant on buying although I've become fond of blacks with microglitters in them. :) You really persuaded me to purchase Hidden Treasure, and I shall! (:

    Love the swatch by the way! :)♥

  20. I bit the bullet and bought Hidden Treasure full price at Rite Aid and I'm glad I did. This one Rite Aid is the only store in the whole friggin' city right now that has this SH collection.

  21. oh wow, really?! im glad you found it though! HT is such a beautiful & fun polish! =)

  22. i know this post was made a while ago, but i actually want to say that im glad someone actually took a picture of the display so i know what im looking for. i dont think we have them yet in MA/NH, because ive searched everywhere for that nail polish. (and i dont feel like ordering nfu-oh online)...but that display looks like those colors are going to be permanent and not LE because there are so many of them and a lot of older SH polishes are being discontinued. aaaannyway, that makes me feel better to know that soon i will see it somewhere and i can calm down. lol
