Since I've been collecting, I've really been focusing on the Hard as Nails line because I just fangirl so hard over those matching brush handles. I mean, how freakin' fantastic are those handles?! I feel like I've amassed a good amount of the Hard as Nails polishes at this point so I think I am going to start focusing on some of the other collections next. Magical duochromes, I've got me eyes out for you!! But if you want to see a truly impressive collection of vintage Sally's, check out Kaz's collection over at Pretty Random. It is the reason why I started collecting them in the first place!
These polishes pictured today have mostly been accumulated from eBay, blog sales, and the kind hearts of fellow polish lovers. Last month, the lovely lady over at Another Bottle of Polish sent me an amazing package of about 15 or so of the Hard as Nails and Hard as Nails with Nylon polishes, several of which I never thought I would see in my lifetime, so thank you so very, very much!!! <3 Some of the vintage Sally Hansens are pretty easy to come across these days, for example, you can find tons of Prisms on eBay right now and they pop up quite frequently at closeout stores. But others...well, not so much. It's all about patience when you live the vintage polish life =)
Anyways, enough babbling about how awesome and amazing vintage Sally Hansens are, on to the pics so you can see for yourselves!!

Do you have any old-school Sally Hansens in your stash? I would love to hear about them!
Thanks again for stopping by today!! Hope everyone has a great day =)
Wow, that's an amazing collection of Sally Hansen polishes!
ReplyDeleteI've got a Teflon Tuff that looks like your "Wink", but I am not quite sure if it *is* that one, of just a similar one. I bought it cheap in a blog sale :)
Thank you!! I got my Wink off a blog sale recently too, she was selling a bunch of them, I bet its the same one =)
DeleteThere are some seriously amazing polishes right there.. I'm blown away, I wish i collected polish way back when :P
ReplyDeleteAren't they fantastic!! Hey, I've only acquired most of these in the past year or so, they're definitely out there you just have to hunt for them =)
DeleteWow, that is an amazing collection! Just WOW!
ReplyDeleteI love vintage polish, especially Nail Prisms. I have 42 or so and one magical, but no chromes, sadly.
Thank you so much!! WOW 42 Prisms, that's quite a collection!! I hope to build up my Nail Prisms collection one day =)
DeleteWow! Once again I'm so jealous of your collection!! I loved/owned a few Sally Chrome polishes. I would love to get my claws on some again!! Great post! <3

Thank you!! There are a ton of the Chromes on eBay right now, some of them are pretty cheap!!
DeleteVery cool again! I love how the handles of the glittery polishes are glittery too! I don't have any old school polishes, but I think I saw some Prisms in my Mom's stash. Sadly, they dried up!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that the glitter polishes have glitter handles too!! So cool!! Go dig out those Prisms!! Add some nail polish thinner if they're all dried up and they will be good to go!
DeleteLove this! And now I'm going to be on the hunt for the Hard as Nails Magnet and Dimension!
ReplyDeleteThere is an eBay seller that is selling some of these glitters right now! Those two are sold out though =( Here is the link though if you want to check the rest of them out! I recently bought 5 from them! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sally-Hansen-HARD-AS-NAILS-Colored-Caps-YOU-CHOOSE-Original-Polish-Enamel-1-2-/251104361151?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3a76fc7abf
DeleteMAGNET and DIMENSION are available at www.stores.ebay.com/cassiecosmetics
DeleteLooks great! I have 3 new ones ...lol.
ReplyDeleteThey just started selling sally over here :)
Thanks! Sally Hansen is a great brand, new or old! Still some of my favorite polish out there!
DeleteImpressive Sally Hansen collection! I do love your stash posts! :D
ReplyDelete~ Yun
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying them!
DeleteOHMG OHMG OHMG *running around in circles* - what an amazing collections of vintage SH's - such fun bottles too :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm glad you like them =) The bottles are the best part!
DeleteSooo pretty!! I love all those old names, especially Dividends. =P
ReplyDeleteI have a couple Chromes that I had from back in the day. My other vintage SH (Prisms) are from swapping. Love your collection though!
Thank you!! I love all the names too, especially the astronomical ones like Quasar, To The Moon, Planetary, etc. =)
DeleteSo cool that you still have a few Chromes from way back in the day! I wish I would have saved all of mine! These are all from eBay, swaps, blog sales, etc. in the past few years.
Every time I see your stash sets, I feel like grabbing all of the polishes I want! Those glitters, oh my gosh! I want them all, seriously. They're stunning! I need Sally Hansen to go back to making all of these awesome polishes. I so regret not buying any of these beauties when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteWell the good news is, an eBay seller has some of the Hard as Nails glitters up right now for cheap! It is very rare that they pop up so definitely snatch a few up if you want them.

DeleteOMGGGGGGGG HELLLL YESSSSS! Rich Lady - I NEED! Of course I'm dying for all of the Halloween polishes as well. Vampira = holy freakin cow. I'm loving these posts so much! SO fun!
ReplyDeleteUGH I am dying for the rest of the Halloweenies too! I have filed a claim with the USPS about my lost Trick or Treat, hopefully they will find it and bring it to meeeeeeee!
DeleteAmazing collection! So many beauties :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the matching brush to bottle too!! It made finding the right color so easy!!
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly!!! I wish all polishes had matching handles! They only brand I can think of today that does that is Essence Colour and Go, but they don't have sparkles in them like the SH ones do =)
DeleteMy goodness, they're so gorgeous all put together like that! Yaay!
ReplyDeleteI used to wear the Chrome polishes all the time when I was younger!
ReplyDeleteThis page makes me weep, especially with all those colour coordinated caps :'(
