It's Monday—and, yes, that sucks. But I have some news to soften the blow a little bit. Sally Hansen just launched a new nail polish line featuring a whopping 29 colors!

The collection is called Triple Shine, and as the name suggests, it contains a proprietary ingredient that resists dulling, thus keeping your manicure shinier longer. And everyone knows that shiny things are good. The polishes go for a very reasonable $4.99 each, and you should be able to find them at your local drugstore now. (Or here.)

I've been playing with these polishes for a few weeks. The tall, distinctive bottle looks like nothing that's out there on shelves right now, so you should be able to spot it instantly. The brush is similar to the wide, flat design Sally Hansen currently uses in its Complete Salon Manicure line. There's a decent range of colors, though I'd eventually like to see more jewel tones and dark colors in there—it's heavy on brights and pastels. There's a good selection of creams, shimmers, and glitter topcoats too.

Most important, the colors live up to their moniker. I wore Slick Black (a black with fine-milled, subtle glitter) with the new Triple Shine topcoat and the shine held up to some disgusting household tasks like scrubbing the cat box. I even took the topcoat to my local nail salon and tried popping it over some Essie—it glistened beautifully for days. While it's not quite the same level as a gel mani shine, the line (or, at the bare minimum, the topcoat), is definitely worth a try if you're fed up with dulling manis.

What's the shiniest polish or topcoat you've found, and what are your tricks for protecting your manicure?
