I've been on the lookout for these for a while and finally snagged a box of Sally Hansen Salon Effect Nailpolish Strips. Basically they're nail polish stick-on sheets that can last up to 10 days and are removed with regular nail polish remover. They come in packs with 16 sheets and you stick a sheet (of various sizes) to the corresponding nails that best fit. The application is pretty straight forward and just requires clean, dry nails, a small nail file and cuticle stick. They definitely take longer to put on then a regular nail polish application but a little practice makes perfect. At around 10 dollars a box (for one application) they're not an amazing value, but they're definitely different! The final application is smooth and you don't require a top-coat because the finish is already glossy. The big question is how long they'll hold up for?
My money is on 3-4 days.
Creative yes, but are they funky or fugly... I can't decide?
who doesn't love Houndstooth on a painfully pale hand?
(personally I would have preferred the leopard print)
What do y'all think? Is this something fun and different or should this be reserved for 15 year olds only?

these are funny- i've never heard of them before. based on how they look here (bc you're not the only one with a painfully pale hand), i would probably wear them for a silly, party occassion. and probably keep them in the medicine cabinet for more special occassions, like weddings and baptisms.
I love those!!! I've been wanting to try them but can't find them anywhere yer (have only seen them in the magazines). I love them on you! I'm wondering how long the'll last, too!
I am sooooo glad you posted about these, I've been wanting to try them! Let me know how long they last! I'm curious...
Do we share a brain? haha
I saw them in a magazine yesterday and want to try them! I love them. So fun! Keep us posted on how long they last.
I think the idea sounds fun! My hands are "man hands" and pale so maybe not for me, but someone with frail pretty hands:-) lol I like your houndstooth
Funky, but fun... my nails are too short to bother. Mama needs some fake nails first. Ha!
i think it's fun! i actually want to try the leopard one but it's always sold out.
let us know how long it lasts. i say 2 days...
nah i think it's for all ages, but you are right i'm not sure how long it would last. nail polish never lasts on my fingers. i'm having a flat iron + other goodies giveaway on my blog tomorrow lady! :)
I hope you told the company you did this ad for them!
so fun!! I have always looked at these and now will have to give them a try!!
so cool nails, i also wanna try it out sometime :)
xx
I love them! They're not just for 15 year olds. I want to get some! I do a terrible job painting my nails. Have a great weekend!
i havent tried these yet...BUT...with that being said, I totally would! but i like bite my cuticles, so my nailbeds are so nasty. ugh...biting cuticles is probably something a 15 year old does, not a 27 year old :(
either way, i am loving them! have a good weekend girl!
Wow! Talk about a statement! How fun!!
Have a great weekend pretty lady!
I picked up the houndstooth design the other day! I am a little worried as i don't have round nail beds on some of my nails, so they probably won't fit properly.
I think the designs are great for any age!
