Sally Hansen Terracotta
Hey guys! I have another shade from Sally Hansen’s designer series. According to the information I got, Rachel Roy enlisted Sally Hansen to create a rich neutral nail that suits all skin tones for her eclectic, 70s-inspired fall collection. The result? Terracotta, a creamy toffee Complete Salon Manicure shade — the perfect accent to Roy’s pattern-heavy, layered looks.

The bottle is different (thanks for saying something Nat!) cause it broke in transit. It was a clean break and I was able to transfer it to one of my empty franken bottles. This one applied like a dream. It applied on smoothly and I’ve never had a problem with Sally Hansen’s formula. Their formula can be a bit on the thin side, but it’s not watery at all. If I remember right, this one dried pretty fast for a creme shade. Shown is 2 thin coats with no top coat.

I don’t particularly like how it looks against my skin tone. I’ve always stayed away from nudes and neutrals for this reason. It just looks wrong. 😦 But I can’t complain at all about the product itself since it’s quite superb. This should be available at wherever Sally Hansen is retailed in October.

It looks like a cheap drugstrore foundation, I like it for that reason. That wouldn’t be a nude to me at all but I’d wear it because of its outdated 70’s vintage feel. (On a related note, I’ve always thought that a brand like MAC should release their foundation range in polish, that’d be so interesting)
Have Sally Hansen change their bottle or something?

Ahhh! Nat, I’m glad you said something about the bottle. It broke on its way to me so I had to transfer it. Editing post now. 🙂

P.S. Interesting take on a brand releasing shades based on the shades of their foundation. It would be neat to see I think!

It looks like the matte color of the SH polish my grandma wore. Because of that, I wouldn’t get it. LOL *old as dirt*

Haha! It reminds me of nude stockings almost.

This is very retro 70’s. Right on the money. I had about 6 bottles all around this shade by mid 70’s when I finally was getting a bit more grown up and not into my no bra, no polish – hippy days. New bottle shape for this line in SH? Or is it the angle of the photos?

Oh – now I see what the deal is with the bottle! And ! Kimberly – call me your grandma – I wore it then in the 70’s and will wear it again. I had been looking for a Terracotta shade I had told the lady who cuts my hair since last fall. Now that we got back into corals I figured they would crop up again pretty soon – they were around in the mid to late 80’s as well. But you had to look at brands known for older lady safe shades then to find it like Estee L and Mary Kay (with at that time the same company made both of their polish lines).

Bottle broke during transit to me. 😦 I had to decant it quick to save it.
