This Week's Mani... (A Late Mani Monday)

I'm a week behind on manis, but that's okay! I wore this nail color last week... but only for a couple of days. This is the product of those lovely Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips, in "Love Letters" (I adore the name!).

They're super easy to apply and require no drying time, but the process is a bit longer than simply painting your nails. However, you do end up with salon quality results.

The only thing I really disliked was that it chipped uncontrollably the next day. The "polish" hardened nicely, but the littlest nicks to your nails would result in a chip. I didn't apply topcoat (because I assumed I didn't need to) and I think that could have prevented the problem.

Another disadvantage is the price-- almost $9 per box. I'm not too sure if I'd repurchase again, (considering it wasn't a lasting manicure) but I do love the wide range of colors and designs available, as well as how neat the stripes applied!

Have you tried these and had the same problem?

  3. I had the same problem. A lot of time and effort for a mani that can't last 24 hours.

  4. I haven't tried it yet (you know me - nail biter) but it looks amazing! Disappointing that it doesn't last longer. I wonder if you could put a coat of clear gel nail polish on top and if that would protect it.

  6. I saw this at the drugstore the other day. You did a great job applying it! I was worried how hard it would be.
