Sometimes, if I really like a product and it's cheap enough, I try to get my hands on as many of its variants as I can. (See Careline Lipgloss Post) Not all at once, maybe 1 or two items per visit to the store. Gives me time to use the products first and prevents backlog.^^ Eventually the collection grows..SanSan Nail Polishes are no exception.
Where to Buy: HBC Stores Nationwide and on their website
Price: PHP 37- (Less than 1 USD) for a 12 ml bottle
Likes:
Big 3 Free*.
Price
It's cheap to begin with, but on top of that, HBC Stores are constantly on sale so I was able to score some bottles for PHP 30-34. Hey, a peso saved is a peso earned.
Color.
they have some really nice colors. from and the color payoff is great.
Consistency
is mostly very good* . I like thinner polishes and these go on very smoothly
Shelf Life.
These don't dry out quickly. It's normal for nail polishes to thicken upon exposure to air, but I bought my first bottle of SanSan polish more than a year ago and it's still good as new. On the packaging, expiry date is 3 years after manufacturing date.
Brushes
are nice and easy to handle
Packaging.
The square bottle not only looks good, but is great for storing, too.
Dislikes:
Dislikes:
Inconsistent Formulation.
I'm not sure if it's because I got some bad batches but some polishes go on more smoothly than pthers.
Moar shades plz.

Though it's Big 3 Free, I don't know you might still want to check the other ingredients in the list if there are other stuff you wish to avoid.

| Ingredients |
- Use a topcoat to make your polish last longer and to keep the colors vibrant.
- Some sistahs experience yellowing/discoloration of nail with prolonged use of these polishes,. As a general rule, I change my polish every couple of days, but if you want to keep it longer, I suggest a base coat just to be sure.
- Products bought with my own money. This is not a paid/sponsored review.
I will feature these polishes one by one in their own NOTD posts.in the future when I have time. For now, here are some quick swatches.

I am having some problems with my blog. For instance, when I submit my link to some people for review. they say that the link redirects them to another site. Has anyone had this problem before? What should I do about it. I'd hate to have to move. Thanks in advance!

When you lined all the shades up, I realized Sansan has a great color collection. :D I only have a nude peach-brown that I forgot the name of and a deep blue-purple called Amethyst from this brand, but now I want to check out the green, blue and gray shades you featured in this post.
