Spice up your nails for the holiday! I’ve actually had these for a while, but with the holiday upon us, these Sally Hansen Salon Effects were the perfect opportunity add a little glam to my nails. Appropriately titled “Misbehaved” (have you been naughty or nice this year?) with a black and gold lace design, the nail strips were slightly labor intensive to put on, but definitely worth the results. It was like placing a sticker and your nails and removing the excess with the nail file. I did have to use the orange stick to smooth out a few air bubbles between my actual nail and the strip once I place on top of the nail.
What I liked about the nail strips were that they didn’t chip and I removed after about 12 days only because they had grown out. It’s a great alternative to a minx manicure, which can cost $40-50. If you get a manicure weekly, it would give you an extra week or so at roughly the same price as a manicure.
Tip: Make sure your nails are completely clean and buffed before applying or else it won’t stick to the nail. Also, start from the pinky and work your way inward to the thumbs.
