Sally Hansen Pisces Of Me

Sally Hansen's Beachside Astrologer Collection gets my pick as the best drugstore polish collection of the year--so far, at least. There are so many awesome colors in this collection that I was hard pressed to only pick up a few when I finally spotted it at my local Target. I managed to whittle my picks down to three, and the first one I've got to show you today just might be the best shade in the whole set, in my humble opinion.

Pisces of Me is a metallic blue with eye-popping flecks of blue, purple and copper. You really can't appreciate the amount of depth this polish has unless you look at it really closely, so let's start things off with a macro bottle shot! Don't you just want to live inside this gorgeousness?!


And now for how it looks on the nails. The detail and depth of the shimmer doesn't come through quite as well on the nails as it does in the bottle, but it's still a gorgeous polish--and in fairness, the shimmer is more noticeable in person than my camera portrays. They flash in the light like little sparks! I took pictures in lots of different light settings to try and bring out the shimmer as much as possible on camera and show you just how multifaceted this polish really is.


Pisces Of Me has a wonderful formula. This was three easy coats.

I love the "mermaid couture" vibe of this shade--so perfect for Pisces! Do you put any stock in astrological signs? I don't read daily horoscopes or anything like that, but I do see a lot of classic Gemini traits in myself, so I guess I believe in it a little bit? I dunno. A Gemini being indecisive--what a surprise! ;)

  2. I have usually stayed away from this line as I thought they were too expensive...but I have bought several lately, including 3 from this collection (this one and shimmery red and the purple creme). This is more metallic looking than I expected? I wore one of the other colors (Seersucker? Not from this collection) and it lasted great on me, a week or so I think...
    But I I don't go in for the astrology stuff, other than in passing fun. But I thought it made for a fun collection theme!

    1. Y'know, I was the same way for a long time about this line. The prices aren't that much cheaper than say, OPI, so I thought they were a little too pricey for drugstore polish. But once I started delving into some of the colors here and there, I really fell in love with the CSM line! They've got an awesome color selection (with new additions all the time) and the formulas are usually fantastic. I thought the astrology theme was fun too! :)
