So today's featured color is Sally Hansen's Haute Chocolate, from the Complete Salon Manicure line. This line is supposed to have your base coat, varnish, and top coat all in one simple application. I still put a separate top coat on because my OCD doesn't allow for me to not use a top coat. But this particular line actually does the trick. You get a nice smooth application with a richly pigmented color, very little drag, but I did notice a couple bald spots when I held my hands up to the light while at a stop light.
Haute Chocolate is a redish brown, almost like milk chocolate with a touch of burgundy. I got this shade back in the beginning of fall when it was released with the fall collection and only just now got around to posting it. This shade does have a little bit of shimmer to it, but it's such a rich dark color and the shimmer is so faint that it just looks perfect.

While I was at Target picking up a couple things (including a couple new shades) the nice cashier gave me an awesome compliment on the polish! Oh so happy. I also went home and immediately changed the polish, but I'd had it on for about 3 days, so I was bored.
This polish didn't have any chips by the second day I had it on, but it did experience some shrinkage around the tips of my nails. These pictures were taken after a couple minor touch ups. It removed like a dream though. No staining and no smearing onto my hand from the cotton ball.
Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure in Haute Chocolate retails for $6.49 US plus sales tax if applicable.
