Sally Hansen Pacific Pee-Yew!

It's not really Pacific Pee-Yew, it's Pacific Blue. The smell of this polish would definitely make be doubt it's real name. At first I thought it was just me, but I've read other reviews that this polish stinks! There is no way to put this politely, but this smells like fart. It's like someone farted into the Sally Hansen bottle put in some pretty blue polish as some cruel awful joke. It either smells like that or the smell you get when you drive over a dead skunk on road that's been sitting out in the sun for a few days. It's pretty awful, but the color of this polish is great! I think the color is worth the whiff of nastiness, but I can see why others would pass on this polish all together.


Pacific Blue
 Pacific Blue is a bright cornflower blue creme. I wouldn't really say this is "Pacific" blue, it doesn't remind me of the Pacific Ocean which I think is more of a deeper blue. I'm not picky about that or anything,  just figured I'd mention that. I'd love this color if was called Meow Mix Brown. The name doesn't matter :P. The application of this was great. It went on smoothly in 2 coats. It's such a great creamy blue color. I like cremes, but I get bored with generic colors that you can find 2-10 dupes of, this is definitely different from that.

Speaking of dupes at  first I thought this maybe a dupe for Essie Lapis of Luxury, but they are different.
Lapis of Luxury is more of pastel light blue with a hint of purple, rather than the vibrant Pacific Blue.

If you can handle the stench. I really recommend Pacific Blue. I love this color, and it's a great base for many layering polishes. The application was great and it was great in every other way. We all can't be perfect though can we? :)

Happy Tuesday!

  4. I love this colour. But I didn't remember it smelling bad, so I had to pull out the bottle and check. It's no different than any of the other Xtreme Wears I have. And no worse than other brands. I guess I got a lucky bottle. Now I have to sit and recover from my nail polish smelling.

  10. After reading your post, it almost makes me want to hunt down a bottle of that polish *just* to smell it. How annoying is it when somebody says "Ewww! This stinks! Smell it." LOL Great color, though.

  14. Ummm this is not Pacific Blue because the Essie polish u said was close to it is not a dupe at all. Pacific Blur is a cobalt darker royal blue with NO PASTEL I don't know where the hell u got your information from but I suggest u quit blogging cuz u can't tell the truth... Also your blog sucks
