A flawless manicure can make you feel so effortlessly put together. Whether you love a bold red or prefer to keep it neutral, the right polish can brighten up your look and completely elevate your style. It’s the perfect accessory.
Until it chips or dries out your nails. Because haven’t we all been there before? Thankfully, Sally Hansen has you covered with a three-step system that allows you to have healthy nails, while wearing nail polish that lasts. The argan-oil-infused Color Therapy Nail Polish, Top Coat and Nail & Cuticle Oil all work together to keep your nails in tip-top shape while you stay perfectly polished. The innovative formulas contain rich argan oil to nourish dry nails, so there’s no need to go bare.
When used together, the nail polish and top coat combo claims to give up to 10 days of shiny, chip-proof wear. And the shades? There are 14 pigment-rich colours to choose from, so whether you prefer to rock a statement red (try Red-y To Glow) or wear a classic pale pink (we recommend Rose Quartz), the Color Therapy range has got you sorted.
But because finding a polish that cares for your nails while lasting for longer is no easy task, we put the Sally Hansen Color Therapy range to the test. We asked bh’s Rosie to test the polish for 10 days, so that we could see the results for ourselves. And since we could all use some help in the DIY mani department, we’re also sharing a few tips to help you get the most out of those freshly painted fingers.

Which manicure tips do you swear by? Will you be trying the Sally Hansen Color Therapy range?
I just use any old facial/body oil for cuticles. Works the same. My nails are messed up after acrylics though so I wouldn't really know. Also hand cream doesn't dull nail polish. That's absurd. Just wipe it off your nail polish after, doesn't cause any permanent dullness though.
Sally Hansen has some great nail products to keep nails strong and healthy, I have several.
