A while ago, my mom picked these up for me from the drug store~ I was really eager to try them out!
Sally Hansen Salon Effects
Real Nail Polish Strips
"Kitty, Kitty"
These no-hassle adhesive strips are made of real nail polish. With no drying time and 24 fashion-forward designs to choose from, now it's easy to get a salon effect at any time or anywhere!
They take a bit of patience and precision to apply at first, but by the time I finished five fingers I had the hang of it. Each package contains 16 nail strips in many different sizes, so even if you make a mistake it's okay! The nail strips stretch and cut away easily, for a perfect fit.
I was worried about damaging them, so I started to apply a topcoat but right away I noticed that it had a bit of an adverse effect so I stopped. The top coat settles into the bumps of the design and makes it appear crinkly...you can actually kind of see wrinkles on my index finger in the pictures. Really, a topcoat isn't necessary at all! I'm really impressed by the durability of these nail strips, in fact there was no difference in longevity between the fingers that had topcoat and the fingers that didn't.
These are supposed to last 10 days, but I wore them for a good 15! I started to see a little bit of noticeable chipping at 8 days, but they were still totally wearable. I got tons of compliments on them the whole 15 days of wear.
They also helped to protect my nails and keep them from breaking. My nails really grew a lot, which is awesome!
Overall: 5/5
I'm really satisfied with these, they totally exceeded my expectations! I loved having such effortless, beautiful nails. Available at most drugstores at just around $10, they're cheaper than a regular manicure at some salons! They can't be beat~
I really want to try some of the other designs as well!

@Tori YES!!! Omg, I haven't seen the new designs~ ahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one too! They should really say, "no topcoat necessary" or something...
