How would I describe Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Gunmetal?
It looks like a frosted and smoky, yet brilliant, charcoal color. For some reason, it makes me think of exclusive cocktail lounges with ladies smoking really long stem cigarettes – just mad cool, sexy and detached. This nail polish has a high sheen to it, even without a top coat.

And I must say that my manicure looks pretty much the same after a few days. Hardly see any chipping.
