Sally Hansen HD Nail Polish in DVD - about $7 in most drugstores

Sally Hansen has a new collection in the HD range for Spring/Summer! It consists of 8 new polishes ranging from hot pink to a tantalizing midtone purple, and all are jam-packed with beautiful effects. Some of the polishes have a gorgeous glass-fleck shimmer, some have duochrome aspects, and some have both! To see swatches of all the polishes in the collection, check out these amazing swatches over at StephsCloset!

I snagged DVD because I'm a sucker for shimmer, duochrome, blue and purple, and this polish is all of the above. Unfortunately it's also very sheer, so here in the first photos you two coats of it layered over Orly Snowcone. I think it would look amazing over a slightly deeper blue, and a deeper purple. It sort of reminds me of the old Sally Hansen Prisms in Garnet Lapis, but with lots of flecked shimmer. It morphs from a light lavender, to cornflower blue, to an electric rose depending on the light. The shimmer flecks also create an almost metallic look. Even though it's quite sheer, just like Garnet Lapis the effect of this polish when layering is beautiful enough to warrant that layering. I really want to pick up Laser next!
