Like magpies and cuckoos flying over nests in search of jewelry and silver, we love shimmery things. There’s something intensely “U.S. Mint” about shimmery nail polishes, and so here are some swatches of Sally Hansen Holiday 2009-2010 swatches that we really love.

They are from the “Diamond Strength” collection and last a looong time – longer than you expect a manicure to last, anyway.
