Review and Giveaway- Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Let's just get this clear.  I have NO talent when it comes to anything cosmetic.  I can't apply eyeshadow, I look stupid in lipstick, and cannot paint my nails without smudging.  So you can believe how excited I was when I found Sally Hansen Salon Effects in my local drugstore.


The Salon Effects are essentially stickers, although SH calls then "polish strips". They vary in color, and designs.  Some are basic and others are WILD.  I have tried Wild Child (a zebra-like print) and It Girl (solid pinkish color).

For this review, I applied Bling It On to my toes. 
You know I must really love you guys to post pictures of my feet! 


Each box of Salon Effects comes with 16 Nail Polish Strips (in case you make a mistake), a cuticle stick, and a double sided nail file and buffer.

1. I prepped my toes by filing, shaping, and wiping them with nail polish remover .



2. I took off the clear protective cover and pulled the polish strip from the backing paper.

3.  I placed the strip on my nail.  It can be placed vertically or horizontally depending on nail size and pattern.

4.  Using the flat side of the cuticle stick, flatten the polish strip against the nail and cuticle edge.


5.  File the polish strip away using the light pink portion.




Painless, easy and NO SMUDGES!  I have only used Salon Effects on my toes, although I have been told it is easier to apply to your finger nails.  It took me half of a True Blood episode to prep and finish.  Salon Effects costs about $9.00 a box and will last about 2 weeks.  In my experience, Salon Effects continue to look great after swimming in a pool, dragging my toes in the sand, and walking around all day in flip flops. 


I am sorry about the picture quality.  I couldn't get the lighting right.  I tried 3 different rooms!
