Sally Hansen Fuzzy and Sugar Coat Press Release

Hey Friends!

Today I have press releases for two new collections from Sally Hansen!

INTRODUCING FUZZY COAT TEXTURED NAIL COLOUR BY SALLY HANSEN

Imagine textured nails with 3D fabric finishes in a flash! Transform your manicure with Sally Hansen’s newest nail innovation: Fuzzy Coat Textured Nail Colour.

Taking inspiration from the strong textural themes at the latest runway shows, Sally Hansen has developed a new, exclusive special effect formula that makes nails the focal point of any look. The breakthrough formula goes where no nail colour has gone before, creating eye-catching optical effects and adding lust-worthy texture to your manicure. Blurred, woven and marbled fiber looks resembling hand-spun yarn are combined in a multidimensional network of colour to create a matte finish with a fibered texture effect.

HOW TO USE IT: Shake gently and apply 2-3 thin coats

Fuzzy Coat Textured Nail Colour is available in 8 beautifully textured shades: Wool Lite, All Yarned Up, Peach Fuzz, Tight Knit, Fuzz-Sea, Fuzzy Fantasy, Wool Knot & Tweedy

PRICE & AVAILABILITY: $7.95, Available at drug and mass retailers across Canada

INTRODUCING SUGAR COAT TEXTURED NAIL COLOUR BY SALLY HANSEN

Treat your nails to one of this year’s sweetest trends with Sugar Coat Textured Nail Colour from Sally Hansen.

A multi-dimensional formula infused with a sugar-like texture for a 3-D volumized, colour-saturated nail look. Sally Hansen’s latest polish breakthrough leaves nails looking good enough to eat with a sweet sugar-dipped effect. The Sugar Coat leaves nails brilliantly varnished with a hard candy finish in rich shades—a sweet treat for nails.

The formula applies like a crème and quickly transforms into a sugarcoated, semi-matte finish for a deliciously vibrant manicure.

HOW TO USE IT: Shake gently and apply 2 thin coats

Sugar Coat Textured Nail Colour is available in the following delectable shades: Bubble Plum, Sugar Fix, Cherry Drop, Sweetie, Razzleberry, Sour Apple, Cotton Candies & Lick-O-Rich

LAUNCHE DATE: July 2013

OPI Launches the San Francisco Collection For Fall/Winter 2013

OPI Launches the San Francisco Collection For Fall/Winter 2013

Urban Inspired Nails!

San Francisco by OPI brings street chic style with West Coast flair to nails and toes for Fall/Winter 2013. This new collection features a palette ranging from sky and sea-colored hues of blues and gray to reds, burgundies and browns inspired by some of the city’s most iconic elements – Chinatown, the Golden Gate bridge and the Embarcadero. This fall mélange is mixed with texture, seen in three new Liquid SandTM nail lacquers in earthy hues of taupe, blue and gray: It’s All San Andreas’s Fault, Wharf! Wharf! Wharf! and Alcatraz...Rocks. Liquid Sand lacquers dry to a textured, matte finish, infused with reflective sparkle.

“To me, the women of San Francisco and the city itself really epitomize today’s multifaceted beauty consumer,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “San Francisco offers a European flair with distinct West Coast attributes. These elements inspired a collection of urban chic nail lacquer shades, thanks to the sophisticated combination of high fashion and eclectic street style.

“With twelve colors ranging from moody grays and blues to garnet and ruby jewel tones, these lacquers are designed to accessorize fall’s hottest looks, from military details to winter whites,” continues Weiss-Fischmann. “On fall runways, models were seen wearing luxurious textures from head to toe. The three new Liquid Sand nail lacquers incorporate the texture trend through nails, with rich matte finishes in colors to complement the season’s fashion.”

San Francisco by OPI includes the following shades:

China Glaze Getting Down to the Nitty Gritty: Textured Polish Press Release

Afternoon friends! We have all heard a ton about textured nail polishes and now China Glaze has thrown its hat into the ring as well! Comprising of only textured cremes China Glaze is putting out their textured collection, let's see what the press release has to say!

*********************************************************************************

GETTING DOWN TO THE NITTY GRITTY

China Glaze® Introduces Texture: the Newest Technology in Nail Lacquer

Los Angeles (January 2013): China Glaze® introduces Texture, a unique new lacquer that applies as a crème but dries with a 3D texture effect. Unlike traditional nail art techniques that require multiple steps, Texture only requires one step—painting the nail.  Texture dries matte, but can be combined with China Glaze® Fast Forward Top Coat for a glossy effect. With a finish similar to that of a sugared rim, Texture is the perfect accessory for a beach day, night-on-the-town, or special rendezvous. 

In The Rough— light lime-green with textured grit

Itty, Bitty & Gritty— melon with textured grit

Of Coarse!— bright, cobalt-blue with textured grit

Unrefined— bright pink with textured grit

Bump & Grind— hot pinkish-red with textured grit

Toe-tally Textured— tangerine-orange with textured grit

The China Glaze® Texture collection will be available in May 2013 at fine salons and beauty supply stores nationwide. 

China Glaze is free of DBP, toluene, and added formaldehyde.

These look pretty interesting! These are the first creme textured polishes that I will have access to in Canada and I'm looking forward to seeing what they are like versus the glitter filled textured polishes that I have already tried. 

What do you think of these textured cremes? Any catching your eye?
