Sally Hansen Commander in Chic

Sally Hansen recently introduced a new line called the Complete Salon Manicure, which claims to include all 5 steps of a manicure in 1 bottle - base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, colour, and top coat.

I opted for Commander in Chic, which is a unique mushroom-y taupe. It's essentially a dupe for Sephora by OPI's Metro Chic (except like $5 cheaper) and in line with the much beloved OPI You Don't Know Jacques from La Collection de France.

Since the Complete Salon Manicure claims you can skip base coat and top coat, I did too in order to put this to the test completely. Commander in Chic applies very smoothly and dries quickly. I really liked the brush, which is a modified version of Sally Hansen's usual wide brush. The edges are rounded which makes for extremely easy application and minimal clean-up.

I'm pretty happy with this polish and I've got my eye on a few other colours as well. There are a number of very trendy shades in this line (think teals, pale yellows, and bright greens). Hopefully my friend Sara will review a couple more of the ones she owns so I can decide!
