Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips

I found the concept really cool, but they are not THAT easy to use.

I found them quite hard to find the perfect size for each nail (maybe I just have odd shaped nails? haha). Also when applying them to my nails some of them would rip when taking off the backing etc. They are also extremely fiddly, and have a strong nail polish smell (obviously not as much as an actual polish, but still quite bad). The lasting power isn't that great either, they started to peel off after just one day.

There's an awesome range of colours/patterns though, and that's a plus. They're all really unique and cool looking :)

If you don't mind having a short-lived manicure and fiddling around for abit to get them on, then they might be for you, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

I saw these and thought what a great way to cut down on nail painting efforts and time. Unfortunately they are extremely fiddley to put on and I could find the right size for my nails, which was a little disappointing as they aren't cheap. Once I had applied them which I wasn't able to do perfectly there were wrinkles everywhere :-(

Love the idea of these but were tricky to get on right. Took a long time and would have probably been easier to just paint them plain lol

I know that we all find painting our nails a pain, but these certainly didn't make it any better. They are fiddly, confusing and really hard to fit to your nail shape. I brought 2 of these from Farmers when they were on clearance and i haven't even bothered with the second pack. Disappointing. I was also really surprised that they kinda smelt like nail polish?

They were ok.... if you get someone else to apply them! To do it yourself it is very hard and tricky and doesnt really save time at all. On the upside though I found that it has really good staying power lasting over a week without chipping for me!

I found these fiddly the first couple of times, but have stuck with them and now prefer to nail polish. I find that if you lay out the ones you are going to apply, it makes things simpler. And i tend to go for strips that are slightly too big and file down the sides too, ensures full nail coverage. Great for occasions when you want something a bit different, and dont have time to visit a salon.

I actually really loved this product. The nail strips were super convenient (although I wish I could find a French Manicure one) and had very intricate designs that everyone complimented me on. Nails lasted a week even with doing a lot of chores and generally being rough on the hands, toenails lasted a month. They fit my nails really well. My only bone to pick is that they smell positively toxic when you open the packet (onslaught of nail polish fumes) and that you have to use the entire pack in one go. They dry out like real nail polish if you're a bit slower with application or have leftovers.

Such an easy way to get funky looking nails. I found these easy to apply. The hardest parties picking what style to buy

I really like these they are so easy to apply and look great and last as long as they say,there are so many great designs to choose from and they are great to mix and match,I definitely choose these over nail polish

From the get go I found these really hard and confusing to use. The instructions did not have enough information to make things easy to understand how to actually apply them.

I was really hoping this would be and easier mess free way to get a quick manicure. But no, it was so hard to find the right size and to actually figure out how to apply them. They have different film layers to protect them but I couldn't see any where that said which to take of and which to leave on etc.
