About Sally Hansen
Sally Hansen is the largest nail care brand in the United States, founded in 1957 and known for treatments such as Hard as Nails as much as for colour. Coty has owned it since acquiring Del Laboratories in 2008. Selling treatments alongside polish gives the brand a repeat purchase that colour alone would not.
