NOTD: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Buttercup

I can say with certainty that I've never worn yellow nail polish before this. I mean, maybe when I was little, but there hasn't been a time that I can remember when I have worn it, let's put it that way. Even though I do remember buying my first yellow nail polish (weird I know), my gram bought it for me at her hair dressers years and years ago so I'm sure I wore that, but I can't remember what it looked like on me. So, although I do own a handful of pastel and bright yellows, I never wear them. It's not one of those, goes with everything, or go to colors. Then when I finally went to put this on my nails my reaction was similar to, "Oh my, maybe I should take this off?" I just wasn't used to seeing yellow on my nails, and not to mention my pale skin. It's also worth noting that as I write this, it's been on my nails for a few days now and it's growing on me. So, I am glad that I didn't write this immediately after I put it on because otherwise my reaction would have been totally different.

After trying a couple other yellows first, I decided on Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Buttercup, it's one of the newer shades. It went on a little streaky and needed 3 coats, but it's a nice yellow if you're into that! I'm still trying to get into the whole yellow thing but it is a nice change.

I also thought about putting some glitter over the top of it, but then didn't because I thought I didn't need to draw any more attention to my nails. But, if I did add glitter I was thinking it would be gold and possibly Sally Hansen Gem Crush in Big Money!

Like I said I used 3 coats to get this color and I actually didn't put a top coat on. I'm pleasantly surprised at how shiny it is and also really surprised at how it's holding up. Even though I did use a base coat, Orly bonder, I figured since I used 3 coats it wouldn't last very long and could start to peel off. But, so far, I'm on day 4 and I barely have any tip wear!

What are your thoughts on yellow? It's definitely worth trying out if you've never ventured to the yellow side of nail polish!
