Agree to Disagree: Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips

Dixie

Nail strips are a great invention. I've always admired nail art, but I've never been able to justify the high cost of something so fleeting. And, I've never been able to develop the talent or the steady hand to do my own. When Sally Hansen came out with the Salon Effects Nail Strips, I was excited. I could finally have bitchin' cool nails!

I immediately snapped up a box of houndstooth pattern strips at my local CVS...and put them in the drawer. Truth be told, I was a little intimidated by them. Yes, I read the instructions but I didn't want to waste my $7 by screwing them up. So they sat. And sat. And I read Pinky's review. And they sat some more, until last month when my mom and I happened to be in Sephora during their nail event. When asked by a Sephora employee if you want your nails done for free, you say YES! So, I asked her to put a sample of their nail strips on to show me how to use my Sally Hansen ones at home. 

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips: Something of a Striptease

I did it! I bought some Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips! They were on sale for $7 and they had a cute argyle design called Prep's Cool so I went for it. I LOVE ARGYLE. They also had an adorable Peppermint Twist, the cute Check It Out, and several more to choose from. 

For some reason, I had sweaty hands all day and had to wait until later at night to apply these. That was good, as sweaty hands would have royally screwed these strips up.
