Sally Hansen Dorien Grey

Hello my lovelies! First, let me just utter a sigh of relief because it's finally Friday. This week has been very busy and stressful for me. Hopefully the next one won't be as awful. I wanted to write this post last night but I realized that even though I edited my pictures, I forgot to watermark them. So I just went to bed instead. I really wanted to get a post up today though, so here I am. The polish I'm showing you today could be labeled as boring by many people. I, however, am a big fan of grey polish and this one is just perfect.

Dorien Grey from the Complete Salon Manicure line is a light grey creme. I must admit that I'm a tad confused by the name. On the one side, I love The Picture of Dorian Gray, but the name is not quite that. I understand that they changed Gray into Grey (although both forms are acceptable), but why Dorien? Anyway, leaving the name aside, this is a lovely shade and the perfect canvas for elegant nail art.

The polish is pretty sheer, but I still managed to get it opaque in 2 medium coats. It dries very shiny, so top coat is not mandatory. This line is actually designed to be worn without any base or top coat. I don't like painting my polish directly on the nail and I hate to wait for it to dry, so I used both. I've had a bit of shrinkage with Seche Vite, probably because it was thickening and not because of the polish itself.

I'm glad I finally found a good light grey to have in my collection. I think everyone should own a shade like this. It's both elegant and neutral without being boring at the same time.
