Last week I went to the launch of Sally Hansen's new Complete Salon Manicure, £6.95 (Boots), a range of 36 on-trend shades. Revered for its treatment products, this is the brand's first foray, in the UK at least, into colour and I must say, it's pretty impressive, not just in terms of colour (it's rare to find so many covetable shades in a first collection) but as you would expect from a Sally Hansen nail polish, it excels in its formula too, with a nail strengthening cocktail of coral calcium and sea minerals.

| 'Back to the Fuchsia' |
I don't know about you but I can spend a good half an hour perfecting a DIY manicure - from base coat, to two coats of colour, finished off with a final top coat only to find a sizeable chip the next day. Sally Hansen takes the time and effort out of the at-home mani as each nail colour contains the aforementioned strengthener and growth treatment, along with a base coat, colour and top coat. The pigment is impressive too but you will need two coats for maximum impact. I chose the decidedly summery 'Back to the Fuchsia' and the hot pink colour lasted a whole two days with no chips. Even on day 3 and 4, the chips were so minor that other people wouldn't have noticed them. I think I might have found a nail polish future classic!
Best Tressed Colour Picks...
* Lack of half moons: can suggest slow metabolism; digestive issues may be experienced
*Vertical ridges: can suggest minerals from food are not being absorbed and used efficiently
*White spots: can suggest inadequate levels of zinc and/or poor absorption of calcium
*Pale/white nails: can suggest poor blood circulation, dehydration or over-consumption of animal products
*Peeling nails: can suggest potential mineral deficiencies; over-consumption of mineral-depleting foods may be implicated
