FAN. TAS. TIC.
Wow wow wow.
This is gorgeous!
It's a true silver with lots of silver shimmer.
It's highly opaque and makes me feel futuristic!
I love the quality of this, and I love the price even more!

If you want a true silver polish this is it. the other silvers I have are more metallic-y grays, but this is a real silver. It applies very well, and like all the other Xtreme Wear's I have it wears like iron, and you don't need to use a base/top coat with it. I've also used this for stamping and it works great. definitely would repurchase.

It's pure silver sparkle like others have said.. It can be a bit overwhelming, but I really like it! It didn't chip or fade for 2-3 days on me without a topcoat. I think that's pretty great because everything chips or fades on me within 1-2 days. It looks much shinier when you first apply it and it wears down without a topcoat.

It's a really unique color and I bought it for only $3.

I love this polish! Its not just a run of the mill silver. I tried it next to many other silver polishes, (in the hopes of finding the equivalent of lady gaga's sparkly gold). Other polishes seem to be metallic grays, but this one is true silver- not gray. Two coats covered all splotches or streaks, although one was almost enough because of the metallic reflection. The formula is a bit thinner then I would like but I wouldnt call it runny.

This is a unique silver I would recommend !

I adore this color! My mom came over the other day and was going through my stash of np and also fell in love w/this color! :) She wants to wear it in Vegas this July! :) Silver sparkle delight would be the way I would describe this color...

This is SUCH a cute color! I love anything metallic, and this is perfect! I wore this with a pair of silver flats I have and wear alot, they are an exact match! wear is great too, i wore for 6 days, no topcoat!
only complaint: a little thick when you're applying and doesn't dry fast.

Already a huge fan of the Xtreme Wear line of polishes, I bought this color based on the rave reviews on MUA. The photo of the girl holding her phone is very accurate to the color and sparkliness of this polish. For some reason, I imagined it would be a bit darker and less glittery.

I gave it five lipsticks because it's an excellent product and the bottle is honest to the applied color, but I wouldn't buy it again because the color/glitter factor doesn't suit my age and occupation.

Those seeking a good silver sparkle though, this is your polish!

Like other polishes in this line, the quality is incredible, not just for the price, it's incredible even next to the most expensive polishes. it lasts forever (4+ days) without chipping even without a top or base coat.

2 coats gets you completely opaque coverage.

Silver perfection. Easy to apply, fast drying, and one coat is enough. <3

Love this color! I wanted a chrome type color to use w/my Konad stamper. So I got this, and I ended up using it on my full nail instead of stamping w/it. It's a great metallic color almost like tin foil glittery effect. I couldn't stop looking at my nails. Love it, will definately purchase again.

With Minx being the new "it" nail product, I feel that this color gives a similar effect, and costs fractions less. I love it! It applies well, and doesnt take too long to dry, and the formula has a good consistency as well.

Now I just wish the other colors from the same line would be as great..

Creates an effect akin to what I assume your hands would look like if you were a Terminator with chrome fingernail plating and the organic covering on the tips of your fingers had been scraped off. And it's just as permanent: be prepared to scrub and scrub to get this stuff off.

To clarify, these are both good things!

I love this color, cause I love Silver polish, and I love shimmer! This polish is the best of both worlds! Two coats provides wonderful coverage. Great staying power. A must have if you love the glamour. I do!

My friend painted my nails with this - it is gorgeous! This silver polish is actually very "dense" in colour, not just clear with a little bit of glitter. It's frosty and goes on smooth with no streaks. It dries fast, and after a few days has not chipped yet. I love this colour!

This nail polish is absolutely AMAZING! It's shimmery, so it's perfect for the holidays. It looks like a shimmery metallic silver foil...like tinsel, but toned down so it would be great to wear regardless of the time of year. One coat is all you need. If you want complete opacity and ultra shine, go for two coats. If you make any mistakes painting your nails, that's okay because all the shimmer and light-reflecting particles will hide it. I'd love to buy the gold version of this if they make it. The Sally Hansen website doesn't even list this shade in their collection of colors, so who knows? The nail polish lasts a long time, too. I'm buying more shades from this line for spring. (It was about $2 at Target; I got it for $1 with a coupon.)

UPDATE: This nail polish is a perfect dupe for Zoya's Trixie and slightly lighter in color (but better, IMO) than MAC's Studded.

I was surprised how much I liked this polish. :) I used it for a pedicure (I thought it would be too flashy on my hands) and it was absolutely amazing! A very opaque, foil silver. I only used 2 coats for full coverage, and it went an entire week without chipping without a topcoat. Makes me want to try other polishes from this line. :)

This shade has become one of my favorites. I love how it applies sooo easily and evenly. Its very smooth to touch once dry - unlike some other glitters that are chunky. It lasts for a very long time to. 5-7 days on my fingers and about 10 days on my toes.

Love, love, love this nailpolish shade! Best glimmery, icy, shimmery, metallic silver frost I've ever tried. Thick color makes it easily opaque in 2 coats (slightly sheer in 1 coat).
Of all the metallic liquid silver nailpolishes I've tried, this one's the easiest & cleanest to apply.
I don't always do it, but I like to add extra layers of sparkly silver glitter polish on top of it to give my nails a saucy disco ball effect that everyone compliments me on. Yes, that means a lot of layers of polish but they dry fast. This polish is easy to remove with acetone & doesn't stain my nails. Yay!
I love Sally Hansen stuff - it's often high quality without being unreasonably high-priced.
The brush in the bottle is flat, which makes application easier & cleaner. The color you see on the bottle is the color you'll get on your nails. Doesn't dry too shiny, so a brilliant top coat really makes the silver pop.

It's a pretty good polish in terms of pigmentation, formula and drying time, which probably explains why I can never find a bottle of it on the shelves of my local CVS. It's one of those rare polishes that you can get away with just one coat - the polish is SO shiny and full of shimmer, and that diffuses most of the light that hits it, making it hard to see any mistakes. That said, I still did 2 coats because I like having full opacity and my 1st coat was a little streaky - I always use very very thin coats, and layering coats while still wet takes off the bottom layer. Not too tricky a polish to apply though; just wait for the first coat to dry before doing the second.



The color is pretty awesome too. Initially, I thought it might be too bright and close to white to be wearable on my skin, but it's actually a perfect neutral, clean silver. Silver is trendy lately, isn't it? A friend of mine recently recommended Revlon's Silver Screen as a good dupe for MAC's $$$$$Yes polish, a silver shade, but I found that the lavender tones were unflattering on my skin. But I too wanted to join the cool crowd and rock the silver polish... and Sally Hansen Celeb City satisfies my lemming, at a very wallet-friendly $2.99 at that.



A picture:



(Excuse the messiness around the cuticles - it's my right hand, and I'm not particularly dexterous when it comes to painting with my left hand.)

Celeb City is a wonderful foily metallic silver. This is my favorite type of metallic polish... it has flecks of shimmer that give it depth. I get bottle color with two coats, and it's a great formula. I get many compliments when I wear this polish!

Omg!!!! Finally found a nice silver np. I hate buying silver because it comes out either the glitters really big or its chrome-y. But this is perfect!!! They have micro glitters and its sort of sheer. 2coats is all you need. Been wearing it for a week now, and no chip!!! $2 at walmart. You can't go wrong with that!!!!
