I feel so damn nostalgic.

If you mentioned the words "Sally Hansen Nail Prisms" to a nail polish addict, they will most likely flip out and start going on about the ones they want or the ones they have. Now when I was young, I'd say maybe 12? I had a few of these and I used them a ton but I had no idea of their future value. I'm pretty sure I eventually threw them out when I grew out of my pre-teen nail polish phase. I rarely used nail polish in high school so little did I know what I had thrown out. Now a days, the Sally Hansen Nail Prisms are pretty highly sought after and some of the more popular/favourite ones are hard to find. It makes me feel like kicking myself in the butt thinking that I threw out some of them!

Well imagine my surprise when I stumble upon a random blogsale while browsing around on kijiji. This wonderful blogger just happened to have an almost complete collection of the prisms and was selling her back ups to make some extra cash. I jumped on the chance and picked up nine; she threw in the tenth as a gift. I was super excited and antsy waiting for my package but it finally arrived today! Of course I have pictures of their awesomeness, though these pictures don't capture their true colours as it is late and I'm using terrible artificial lighting. I will probably try to post actual pictures at a later date. Today I'm just too excited and want to get these up!

It was so exciting when the familiar golden lids came out of the package. They are all such gems. Each one more beautiful than the last. I attempted to take a picture of how beautiful they are on a nail wheel, but alas, my lighting has failed me once again.

I hope that gives you a decent idea of just how pretty these are. There are far better watches out there which are super easy to find. My new pride and joy is the Turquoise Opal. I know that it is very popular amoung the lovers of these nail polishes so I am really going to treasure it! 

I have a lot of photos stocked up and ready to go on my computer so I expect to be posting more! For those who read this I hope you are excited as I have a few new beautiful things to show you and lots more on the way!!
