Two Ways to Win the Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Color Collection

July 23rd, 2009 by Karen 247 Comments


The giveaway is now closed to new entries, and the winners are being contacted. 🙂 Good luck!

San Francisco is famous for foggy summer days, especially through July and August. It’s part of the city’s charm, not knowing what to expect from the weather, and why visitors to SF should always dress prepared. 🙂

Sometimes, though, when it’s warm almost everywhere else in America, SF’s overcast days get *really old*.

Up here in Marin County this morning, about 10 miles north of the city, I woke up to one of those foggy summer days.

I decided to brighten my outlook with brightly colored nails — a crazy mix of colors from the new Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Color collection ($6 each).

Here are seven of the collection’s eight shades (click here to see the eighth color, Digital, a shimmery cool pink).

To make the vibrant, shimmery polishes in this collection, Sally says they used liquid crystals and pure pigments. The colors are supposed to be as clear and brilliant as high definition TV.

Looking at these colors, I can’t help but smile. The shades are like little bursts of bright color on my nails!

I think it’s time for a giveaway. 🙂

The prize

Five lucky ladies will win a set of Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Colors with all eight polishes (a $50 value).

The prize includes…

  1. Hi Def: a shimmery green
  2. Cyber: a shimmery purple
  3. Lite: a shimmery yellow
  4. Pixell Pretty: a shimmery teal
  5. Three D: a shimmery orange
  6. Hi Res: a shimmery red
  7. Blue: a shimmery blue
  8. Digital: a shimmery hot pink

    On a gloomy day, I like to wear a little brighter blush than usual. It makes me look more awake and alive.
    Also, there’s nothing like a great cup of coffee and a piece of chocolate brownie. Here in New Zealand, we love our “flat whites”, they are kind of like a latte, but with more espresso, and only a wee bit of velvety steamed milk. Mmmm 🙂

    Despite the name, my “numb” playlist on my Ipod makes me less gloomy when I have the blues.

    I just happened to see the display for these gorgeous new colors in the store today, but only two or three bottles of like three colors were left! That high res delicious color makes me want to eat it! 😀

    nail art, cheese, sudoku & my 3 year old -gets into anything and everything- neice lynds brightens up my gloomy days! (even when she gets into my polishes, she has a magical way of not getting into trouble. This past week alone she ‘finger painted’ my parents LCD tv with clear polish, and fed our poor plant Henry Sally Hansen nail polish remover… i sure hope he can get over it! lol)

    i’m not sure if i qualify for this contest though… for most of the blog entries out there for the collection, they don’t allow for Canadian parcipitants =/, if not, thats quite alright : ) i’m hoping this line will be available in canada eventually?

    – i think i may have to include reading all these responses also briten up this rainy/gloomy day. great suggestions! : )

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
