I brought this when Rite Aid was having a 50% off sale. I really love silver and gray polishes, so this color was right up my alley. I just finished painting my nails with this color - it really is a nice metallic grey with a blue tint. The polish was a little runny though, but nothing you can't fix. But overall, the polish goes on opaque and really smooth.
I absolutely love Sally Hansen polishes (I just wish they didn't use animal testing.)

Awesome color. Sally Hansen nail polishes rule--even if they are a tad bit expensive for a drug store brand.

The first thing that attracted me to this polish was the name. So cool. The color is absolutely gorgeous as well. Medium-dark metallic silver-gray-slate blue. Opaque and smooth in two coats. Very chic. Love it.
However, the formula is a but too runny and drippy. I expect better out of Sally Hansen. Also, Sally usually has a flat brush that seems to fit my nails perfectly, but this polish doesn't have that. Sad face.
Overall, though, I love this polish and will repurchase. The name and color are badass, and it dries relatively quickly with a topcoat. I just wish it had that cool brush. :'(

This is a metallic grey toned blue. I love this polish. I am not a Sally Hansen collector but, when I find a good polish I'll keep it and this one will stay. It doesn't chip and the color is awesome.

A touch of slate blue rather than pure gunmetal color, but still a beautiful shade! I enjoy the consistency, and opaque way it settles with maybe 2 coats (though 3 is probably your best bet for more than 3 days of wear).

Well, I saw this nail polish @ Walgreens for $2.00 and the reason I bought it was because I love silver type colors. This color was gunmetal and pearly and it looked pretty. I painted my nails with it yesterday and was very very impressed. I have used many different kinds of nail polish (brands) before. This Sally Hansen product went on soooooo smooth and was not clumpy at all. Very impressed with this nail polish and will most likely go out and get some more in other colors. Very nice product especially for the price!

Love this color, A beautiful blue gray, very unique. The only 2 downfalls are its a little thick, and it doesn't have the best dry time.

This color remindes me a lot of Channel Black Pearl, except its like a $22 difference. I painted my friends toes the other day with this color and it surprised me that it was almost a bluish gray. Very pretty, highly recomend this whole brand!

I love the blueish-gray effect the color has. The brush it large and it fits its name perfectly. I love it! The one con it has about it though is that it doesn't dry as quickly as others. The price was great though and I will most definitely be buying more Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polish :)

Amazing price, very very pigmented. One coat is sufficient. A little too dark for my taste as neutral or pastel colors flatter my skin tone more, however it's a great nail polish nonetheless.

I purchased this thinking it was a very close dupe for Chanel Black Pearl, it wasn't. Black Pearl is multi tonal green,blue, platinum and peacock tones, this is bi tonal gray and blue. First off, I have never been a SH fan. Not having worn SH for many years I presumed the formulation changed and this seemed promising so I gave it a chance. This color is aptly named, a true shimmery steel blue gray that isn't too dark or too washed out. However, on my nails this looked flat and really enhanced blue veins that I never noticed I had and which seem to mysteriously disappear once this was removed. The polish itself is rather thick but self leveling which is challenging for frost finishes. Lastly the reason I returned this to CVS is because this never thoroughly dried hard. Go figure. It drove me nuts that I'd wait so long between coat applications and my nails were always slightly tacky which is why I cannot comment on wear time. I removed this within hours of application. Back this went for a refund and on to a new DS polish brand, Confetti.

I love the bluish-grey metallic colour and name of this nail polish. It stays on for a long period of time with minimal chipping. I think I wore it for about 10 days before just wanting a change of colour. It's a beautiful, eye catching colour. I bought it at Walmart for $2.49 CAD.

Love this colour - it's so unique for a drugstore polish. The price is to die for - at Wal-Mart it's almost always on nail for a dollar or two. I have pale skin so I usally stray from darker colours, but this is one of the few I do own and love!

I really love this color, but maybe it's just me but the application was a little difficult. It's almost too runny, but like I said could be my bad application skills. I've have to try it again and see what happens.
Love the color, said to be a close to Chanel's Black Pearl, but with a slightly different hue (more blue than green). Wear was great, minimal chipping (worn with a top coat and base coat).

I LOVE this colour! It's such a "cool" colour for the winter! The price is great and I love the colours of this Sally Hansen line. Definitely keeping this colour of awhile. The brush is a bit too think for application purpose but other than that, great colour!

I like this polish, but it isn't my favourite.
It is dark, without being too dirty looking.
There is no glitter in this polish, and the lasting power is good (about a week without chipping without a top coat).
Overall, I would purchase it again, but am not a big fan of the brush.

I love the color of Gunmetal! It is a greyish-blue color with a bit of shimmer. I will definitely buy this again.

I am love with this color, formula and packaging. The color is a blue-grey that is neither too dark nor too light; just perfect for my pale fingers. Application is smooth and two thin coats achieves the color in the bottle. I love the long, thin wand, as it is in my opinion easier to control (as opposed to shorter wands like Essie). Brush is a bit waif-like, but also allows for neater application on my toes, which is a plus. Overall, I love everything about this polish. Retails for $2.99 CDN at RCSS, Loblaws.
