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.
