Review & How To: Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips

Pretty easy to use, fun for a party, but best on toes.

In the land of beauty products, there's a relatively new one on the market for women who love painted nails, especially those who love trendy designs on their painted nails. 

Sally Hansen's Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips come in a box of 16 strips and claim to last up to 10 days. 

You simply peel and apply with no dry time. It actually is that easy, but after testing the product I found them to look best on toes instead of fingers. I also found them to last at least 10 days on my toes but not more than a day or two on my fingers. I also found they looked more natural on the toes, but more like a sticker on the fingernail. I think they are a bit too shiny when you first put them on.

The designs range from wild animal print, to hot pink to glitter and more. I really like the designs. I also recommend using each strip twice to get more bang for your buck. 

Each box retails for around $9.99. They are great to have on hand for the summer or to use if you have an upcoming event or party to attend. 

Watch the video for more on my review and how to use the strips.

Just wore the leopard print strips on my toes to a wedding and got at least 10 compliments from strangers and friends. I've had them on my toes since this story (a week ago) and they haven't chipped at all. I'm even more impressed with these.

I'd say the recent events against which they were protesting are far more consequential than aRead More freeway traffic back-up. Just a guess.

How did they cause a backup, exactly? I'm asking because I saw them, and am wondering how theyRead More backed it up. If it's because people were slowing to read the signs, you can't really get mad at them for that.

I stopped using Internet Explorer years ago. Firefox is safer and the possibility of getting aRead More virus is much less. I have no issues with Firefox.

And if you use an IPAD early in the day as I do, the problem is that there is so much on each pageRead More that it is hard to scroll with your finger(s) because there is just so much clutter that you keep losing your story to an annoying ad.
