Sally Hansen Salon Effect Nail Polish Strips Review

I purchased a couple of different designs for around $3 a set a while ago and absolutely loved them! I really was surprised by how quick and easy to apply they were, they adhere easily and stay stuck down for at least a week on me then remove easily with nail polish remover. I feel like they added extra protection to my nails preventing them from splitting during the time I had the nail strips on

I love these!! I've been using them for a year or two now and they're always a guaranteed talking point! They are ridiculously easy to apply and if you're like me and have short nails, if you cut each one in half you get 2 uses out of one pack! The designs are cute - my fave is the black and white zebra print and the skull and crossbones design!

I love using these nail stickers for when you want awesome nail art but have little time to do it Put it on and it's done!! No drying time! Love the patterns that they have!

I had given up hopes in finding a home nail polish that wouldnt chip within hours of applying. I have tried many different brands, even making sure I apply a top coat. Nothing made any polish last longer than a day without chipping and looking tacky. I had come to conclusion I had to get my nails professionally done. I was pleasantly suprised how easily it was to apply Sally Hansen Salon Effect Nail Polish Strips. Even more pleasantly surprised how long it has lasted on my nails. I applied these Polish Strips and still 3 weeks later they are still going strong. So pleased to have stumbled accross these. I have faith in at home Nail Polishes afterall!

I love these nail polish strips and I buy them all the time. I am wearing some at the moment-pink sparkles with black skulls on them! They are so easy to put on and if you put it on crooked, it is easy to pull them off and trposition them (as long as you havent pushed them all the way on. Once they are on they always seem to stay on really well and don't chip like normal nailpolish does. There's also no messy edges to clean up like you can get with normal nailpolish. Whenever I do my nails, my right hand can get a bit messy as I have to do them with my left hand. With these nail strips I don't have that problem which saves time. I can get 2 weeks out of mine pretty easily and I have a job where I wash my hands a lot and am outside often playing with children in the sandpit etc. The strips remove easily with nail polish and don't damage my nails like acrylics and shellac have before. These nail strips also come with the necessary tools- a file, buffer, and a stick for pushing back your cuticles. Couldn't ask for more! Give these a go, you won't regret it!

These are the best polish stickers I have ever tried, and I think thats mainly because they aren't actually like a sticker and they kinda turn into a polish that you need to use polish remover for it. It applies so smoothly without leaving any wierd bumps along the nails and they buff right off if there is extra. I also find that the sizing is great and there are a variety that would suit pretty much everyone. This product has been great when I have these moments where I need to make my nails look presentable but don't have time for nail polish - they literally only take 5 minutes

I have used these for the best part of a year and a half. I am such a big fan! There are so many designs that I have not had the same nails for 18 months. There is the standard one pattern or as I have recently discovered, french tips which just look so glamorous and come in an array of colours. I have also managed to use a standard pack to cover both fingers and toes full set so none of the product is wasted and I get an amazing mani/pedi at a fraction of the cost! Admittedly it did take me the best part of 4 different applications to master the technique of applying these but it it totally worth the end result.

Woooo I'm so happy this product has been added. The original price is pretty expensive but u bought these at a clearance sale for I think $6. I bought the marbled purple and white one. Each nail strip is really long and I found that since my nails are really small, I could cut each in half and use only five for both hands. The application was super easy and after waiting a bit just to make sure it's stuck on I put on two coats of antichip top coat. It didn't chip easily and stayed for over a week. The removal was surprisingly easy and it came off after a wee swipe of nail polish remover. Loved these nail stops, they have so many cool designs to choose from and it saves so much time. I'd love to try the metallic ones but the bad thing is some look like thin foil.

Whenever I paint my nails bright colours I like to use the gold glitter Sally Hanson strips as feature nails on my ring fingers and thumbs. They really stand out and are super glittery. They are also thick so add a protective cap to my already thin nails :)

I have personally tried two different patterns of these, a black and white checkered pattern, and a grey lace-like pattern. The first I tried being the checkered pattern.

First things first, everything you need comes in the box, the buffer, a cuticle pusher stick, plenty of strips in different sizes, and a detailed instruction manual. So pretty much the only extra you may need is nail polish remover if you have polish on before you start.

When I did these, it was the night before Halloween and I needed to have them done by the morning to match my costume at work, so from memory it was about 11:30pm and I had only my bedside light on and I was sitting in bed. This is all setting a scene so you can see how easy and mess free these are to do.

After buffing, I lay out the strips (I had figured out which size I needed for each finger) and got started peeling and applying. I was worried that they would bubble underneath, but I was lucky to avoid any mishaps. Any that were slightly too big around the edges were easy enough to use the stick to cut away the overhang. You are meant to buff the overhanging tips off but I found that annoying so used the stick to cut the tips away too.

Obviously you will have a tiny bit of clean up to do, with the cut offs, but I lay a tissue under my hands so I had no fuss. I found they didn't last 10 days, but in saying that, I am a nail picker. The second time around I decided to put a top coat on, and it helped make it last a bit longer.

Good for a special occasion, though I probably wouldn't want to use them all the time. Heaps of patterns to choose from though!
