This or That: Dior Nail Glow Vs. Sally Hansen Palm Beach Jellies


First off, did you check out yesterday's post on my Makeup Collection? I didn't share my nail polishes--that's a post in itself. Speaking of polishes, a year ago I picked up the Dior Nail Glow. It's a pricey, but light polish that adds a beautiful shine to nails. And then a few months ago I saw the Sally Hansen Palm Beach Jellies, I bought three different shades wondering if they could be an inexpensive alternative to the Dior.

3 coats
Dior Nail Glow
  • A nail enhancer that gives your natural nails a shiny, healthy glow.
  • $25 for .33 oz
  • Pinks of the nails become pinker and the whites become whiter for a shining finish and healthy-glow effect
  • Available online and in stores, like Sephora
2 coats
Sally Hansen Triple Shine Palm Beach Jellies

  • Shiny, jelly polish
  • $5
  • Limited edition
  • 3 buildable shades similar to Dior (there are 6 shades, with 3 being pink/red)
  • Hard to find online, but easy to find in stores at this writing
This or That:
  • After months of testing, I do not see these as similar products, but I like them both. The Dior gives more of a shine and lasts longer, but if pigmentation is what you're after, then choose Sally Hansen. Dior will give a natural glow to nails while the Sally Hansen delivers a fun, buildable watercolor. Sally Hansen gives more product and is much cheaper. In the end, it comes down to personal preference and the result that you desire. Note: I didn't swatch these on my actual nails because only the jellies showed in pictures. The Dior looks like a clear top on my nails .

  3. After testing out the Dior one on my thumb at Nordstrom the other morning and spending the rest of the day admiring how pretty it was, I just happened to find the Pink Armor nail polish at Walgreens and have been using it for the past couple of weeks. I really like it, and it gave me a gorgeous, shiny manicure for a solid week! I want to compare it to the Dior one, though, so I might have to go to Nordstrom or Sephora again with a "naked nail" next to a Pink Amor - painted one and do a comparison. :)

  4. Good review. As with most things, there are pros and cons, including cost. I was wondering about these myself.

  9. I keep seeing these jelly nail colors on Pinterest and want to try them but I feel like most of the really cute ones are with nail art and I'm so not good at that!

  14. Good to know, I think I would go for the Dior one after reading this :)

  15. Yes I heard about the see through or less pigmented trend in polishes, not sure if this a trend I will be in too really. If I just want gloss/shine I think I will probably just stick to clear. But actually have not seen it on anyone so maybe I will like it? That DIOR polish sounds divine.

  19. I have not tried neither of these and I would love to see how they actually look on your nails? I can not imagine the color but it reminds me on a Barbie nail polish I used to have as a kid that smelled like strawberry- lol!!! Thanks for sharing. XOXO, Sissi www.beauty4free2u.com

  31. I got the "Grape Jelly" SH one and hated it. I knew it would be sheer but I had no idea JUST HOW SHEER it would be. It basically looked like I was suffering from hypothermia! haha

    ReplyDelete
  32. I definitely need to try the Sally Hansen! Thank you for sharing this.

  36. Oh interesting I will have to check out the sally Hansen ones because sometimes I like to wear just a clear coat on my nails and I think this would be great to add just a bit of color when I want to have a natural nail!

  37. Thanks for the great compare. I prefer an opaque nail so I'll probably be skipping both of these.
