I wanted to try the Fuzzy Range of Sally Hansen since I
first saw it on a blog a year ago. I am no good at nail art. I tried it just once in THIS post, and I found it tough. Luckily this range came to India last year. Fuzzy Range basically gives a textured look
to the nails. I think its pretty unique, which is why it didn’t hurt that
much when I shelled out over 500 Rs for this bottle. All polishes in the Fuzzy Range contain matte bar glitter in two colors,
held by a clear base.
Company Claims (taken
from US website):
The ultimate outfit for your nails! Sally Hansen continues
to lead the nail category with new 3D, unique textures inspired by fashion.
Fuzzy Coat transforms nails with a 3D textured, woven fiber effect.
- Unique fiber texture
- Creates a 3D look
- Multidimensional shades
- Dries quickly
- Available in eight shades: Wool Lite, Fuzz Fantasy, Fuzz-Sea, Peach Fuzz, All Yarned Up, Wool Knot, Tight Knit, Tweedy
Fuzz-Sea has
turquoise and yellow matte bar glitter. In the bottle, the blue strips look
more green. The brush is nice and you get quite a bit of those turquoise &
yellow strips on the nails. It can be
applied in the normal way, if you want to layer it to get more glitter than dab
it over the initial layer. Fuzz-Sea gives a nice pop of color to the nails,
it can be worn as it is or over any other color (except blue and yellow
obviously!). Since its named ‘Fuzz-Sea’,
the strips should have been in shades of blue, that would have been soo pretty.

| Fuzz Sea Over Lakme Color Crush 08 |
I first tried this
over Lakme Color Crush 08, a pure white color. I LOVED the combo, I thought
‘it can’t get better than this!!!’ Then I tried it over Faces Candyfloss Matte, which is a bubblegum pink color
and I was speechless! Ok, I’m being dramatic, what I meant to say is that the turquoise-pink-yellow combination is
amazing and those three have actually been my colors this summer. Also, such textured effect nail polishes are
great for people who aren’t at ease with nail art, everyone will certainly
be in awe of your nails. I was asked so many times ‘How did you do it??’

| Fuzz Sea Over Faces Candyfloss Matte |
In India, The Fuzzy Range retails for Rs.540($5.29 in US) for 9.17ml. The quantity will last a lifetime, but its still on the pricier
side. This is a one time release only,
so if you really like it, grab it before it disappears.
While Fuzz-Sea does have a wonderful
look and effect on the nails it comes
with a few hiccups. Firstly, as
you can see in the pic below, it leads
to formation of these ‘bubbles’(small perforations) on the base color. I
thought it might be a problem with the white nail polish I had used as a base
but when I tried Fuzz-Sea over the pink nail polish, the same bubbles appeared. Secondly, no matter how much amount of
clear nail polish I put on top, the textured finish doesn’t become completely
smooth. Thirdly, it can make your
nails orange.
Nail Polishes generally don't last long on my nails. Fuzz-Sea looks
nice on my nails till the 4th day after application, then it starts
to look dull. I find tip fading on the 6th day and by this
point, I can actually peel the nail polish off my nails, peeling didn’t hurt or
damage my nails. Now removal of this nail polish is hardwork, like removing any
other glitter nail polish. I used Sally
Hansen Kwik Off Nail Remover(while it was still in good condition) to remove it
and it took lot of effort, but the nail polish was completely gone.
Overall Verdict: 4/5Inspite of all the hiccups, I don’t mind wearing Sally Hansen Fuzz-Sea because it is pretty unique and amongst all the colors available, this one really stood out. However, Sally Hansen nail polishes do lack the quality at the price they come for and that is something that must be improved upon. If you’re looking for a fun and different nail polish and don’t mind the extra maintenance on your nails, you should definitely try this.
