Sally Hansen Salon Effects Disaster!!

How cute would those look together!
The Salon Effects on my all my nails and then that awesome
Sinful nail polish color on my ring fingers :)
It is in the color Pinky Glitter and was only $1.99 from Target.

.....

And I have said many time how much I love these
Salon Effects and I have been non stop raving about them
BUT this package was disaster!!

The strips were hard and snapped easily. Most of them would not even stick to my nail.
It was like they were dried out but all the packaging was sealed.

When I finally got one to stick to my nail this is what happened.

They look terrible and as you can tell with my pinky nail I had to try and
put two strips together because I ran out of strips that were wide enough.

The mess I made!
I used up all the nail strips
and I did not even like how they came out.

I ended up just removing all the nails and painting them another color.

I do not know if I will buy another solid color from the line but I almost want to give it another try but if it fails again it will be a total waste of money!

New Nails

I bought another Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Kitty Kitty. I love animal print and I needed these as soon as I saw them.


Now as for the color on the rest of my nails I have tried two colors out.

The first one was way to nude and close to my skin tone and honestly I did not think it went well with the cheetah print. It was an Essie polish in Naked Truth. I hated how I had to use about 4 coats for it to finally show up and by then it was just to thick and did not look the best.


Two days later I changed the color to another Essie nail polish in Jazz and I love the color! (it is my older sister Isa's nail polish) It is a great nude and has more of a purple tint to it. While I love the color I do not think it goes that great with the cheetah nail but it works for now.


I will probably want to change the color in the next few days. Maybe I will use a gold to pull out one of the colors in the Sally Hansen nail strips. However, as I said before I do not have many nail polish colors because I never use to paint my nails but now that I have stopped biting my nails I would love to starting buying some nail polish.

Or I might be willing to try this cheetah on all of my nails, it might be a little much but it could be fun ;)

Also I think everyone will be happy to hear that I was able to use one strip for 2 nails! :D A lot of people asked if it was possible and the answer for me is yes it is.
