To further enhance the gorgeousness that is Prince Charming, I layered to coats of Disco Ball over top. Disco Ball is a slightly milky base packed with iridescent glitter. It sparkles like crazy when the light strikes it. It applied fairly well, although it was a bit thick - but that's nothing a bit of thinner couldn't fix.
This combo suffered from some tip wear within the first 24 hours (I find chunky glitters often suffer from tip wear to a greater extent non-glitter polishes. I think the glitter catches on things as objects are picked up, resulting in the tip wear.)

To cover up this wear and to add some zing, I applied two coats of Pink Confetti. Pink Confetti is a sheerish light pink base with small iridescent glitter that adds a subtle hint of sparkle. It applied easily and dried quickly.
Sally Hansen Salon - Burnt Sienna
- purchased at Shoppers (chain drug store) for $5.99 CDN

I applied three coats of Burnt Sienna - two coats would have sufficed, but I really wanted a depth of colour, so I added one more. The polish applied well and moved around the nail nicely. However, the drying time was not great - I was still able to dent my polish over an hour later (likely this is due to the three coats, but I have other three coater polishes that dry more quickly). It also succumbed to a fair amount of wear - within 24 hours I had appreciable tip wear and after 36 hours I was starting to get chips. So, bottom line - a beautiful colour, but only so-so wear.

All of the polishes were really pretty this week
Love love love the Prince Charming, what a beautiful shade of blue.
The nude manicure is a nice break from your usual, I especially like the topcoat.
The Burnt Sienna is absolutely lovely, too bad its performance was not as good as the color.
Wow, is that blue gorgeous! I have several dark blues but they all tend towards navy. I would love one this bright.
I like all yours polishes, but this blue is something unbelievable.Royal blue is my favorite,too. :)
i just did my nails with some sally hansen salon (square bottle, right? i think my color was tassel), and had tip wear and even some flaking within 24 hours. i thought it was something i did wrong (base coat, 2 coats of color, top coat), but maybe not. that burnt sienna is a gorgeous color.
the same brand has lasted forever on my toes.
I'm really liking the Sweet Creams and Pink Confetti.
