More and more, consumers are looking for nail products that mimic the salon experience. This month, Sally Hansen adds 16 new shades to their award-winning Complete Salon Manicure lineup available at the drugstore. And if that wasn’t exciting enough, the entire nail polish range has also been reformulated to now include a Keratin-rich formula. With a total of 88 shades in Canada and their unique, “flawless finish brush”, it’s no surprise that Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure has become a fan favourite among polish lovers and nail artists.

More than Just Colour!

Each Complete Salon Manicure polish includes a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, salon-inspired colour, top coat, chip resistance and gel finish – that’s 7 benefits in one bottle! The new Keratin Complex takes an already wonderful formula and makes it even better – reinforcing nail strength for up top 64% stronger nails and providing more shine and up to 10 days of chip-resistant wear.

Nail Inspiration & Upcoming Trends

I recently chatted with Sally Hansen’s Global Color Ambassador Madeline Poole about nail trends and NY Fashion Week inspiration. Madeline explained how tape, dotting tools and even nails (the kind that you find in a hardware store!) can be used to differentiate your nail look. Her favourite trend for Spring is painting nails a solid colour and then painting the underside a different shade (top left). Also popular are negative space manicures, which means leaving part of the nail bare (top right & bottom left) and metallics mixed with mattes (bottom right). Below are some images straight from the Spring runways, followed by my personal favourites from the new polish collection.
