OC Collection: SanSan Nail Polishes



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:

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.

Etc. 
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!
