Today's nails of the day is a limited edition drug store polish I from late 2008, Sally Hansen Salon Heartsapphire. This one came out with Emerald Ring and another that had "tourmaline" in the name (Take a Tourmaline? Something like that...), and I never did get to see a display of them. Around the time they were released, I managed to get Emerald Ring and the Tourmaline one, and I was finally able to get hold of Heartsapphire - it's on ebay for less than retail now.
Heartsapphire is a dark blue with subtle pink and blue shimmer. My bottle of it is a little watery, probably because it's a couple of years old, so I did need a third coat to make it completely even. For an LE DS polish I've wanted for years, I'm willing to do a third coat. Here it is finished with top coat under artificial light.

Even though the polish was a little thin, it was easy to control. Applying Heartsapphire reminded me of how much I liked the old Sally Hansen Salon nail polishes. They were my favorite drug store brand, and I prefer them to the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure line (although that could be just because I was annoyed when SH took away my old Salons!).
The good news about the discontinuation of the old Salon line is that there are a ton of them available for less than retail on ebay now, including a whole lot of the Tracy Reese and other limited edition shades that were highly coveted and impossible to find when they were initially released. So even though more won't be produced, at least we can catch up on the hard to find ones we missed before.
That's the update for today, Dear Reader. Untl next time, love and nail polish to you!
