Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips - Fly With Me

Today I have for you one of my favorite nail things, Sally Hansen polish strips. Here is a really cute style called Fly With Me.

I love all the different colors in this design! I have been wearing these all week and have had no "chips" or tears. These are just perfect for a long week when I'm not able to polish my nails. Definitely a must have!

Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips - Girl Flower

Time for a quick post! Today I have for you Sally Hansen Salon Effects Polish Strips in Girl Flower. These strips are a cute flower design made up of a variety of fun colors. Perfect for spring!



This is by far my favorite design from the collection. I just love how cute this is. These strips are so easy to apply and actually last! I like to wear them when I know I won't be able to do my nails for a while. These are perfect for vacations (spring break anyone?).

Also, if you haven't done so already, go check out my giveaway! A little less than a week left to enter.

Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips - Laced Up

Happy New Year everyone!! I don't know about you guys, but I am getting so excited for all the new nail products coming out lately!

Today I went to CVS and saw the display for the new Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips. I love any kind of Minx like nail stuff and had to get these. They were buy one get one half off, so I got four. I got 3 different designs and a glitter one. I decided to try Laced Up first!

As you can see it's a nude background with black lace designs. I really love these because they are flexible and stretchy allowing the perfect fit for every nail. These also come with a cuticle stick and a mini file. They were really easy to apply and the edges of my nails didn't feel like I had stickers hanging off the ends. You get 16 decals in a pack for around $10. If your nails are short enough you can use one sticker for two nails. I would 100% recommend these to everyone!!
Have you tried these yet? If so, which designs?

**Update** So, I wore these for 5 days without any "chips" or tears! The box says they last 10 days and perhaps they do. I get bored very quickly with my nails and couldn't wait that long to change them. The wear, ease of use, and cute designs definitely make these worth getting!

Purple and Green Halloween Mani

Yay, Halloween is only a few days away!!! I was feeling a little tired of the typical orange and black combo, so I decided to do another ghoulish combo - green and purple. I have also been thinking what I could use this bright lime green polish for, so this was perfect!

I wish I had a super easy and simple technique for this, but I don't. The easiest way for me was to freehand it. I tried using nail guides, but it just didn't look right. I started by swiping the green polish diagonally at the bottom of the nail. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Green With Envy. Then I swiped the purple across the top in the same way as I did the green, making sure to cover any bare nail. I used OPI Nevermore as my purple. In order to make the lines look smoother I used a nail art brush with black polish across where the green and purple meet. I finished with a cute spider decal for a little extra oomph.

Candy Corn Nails

I had to do the quintessential Halloween manicure - candy corn nails! This seems to be a favorite among the nail art community and I can see why. It's just SO cute.

I started with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow all over the nail. I then did the orange stripe using OPI Flit A Bit. Finally, I did the white tip using OPI Alpine Snow. I found it much easier to freehand the stripes than to try and use nail guides. Candy corn isn't perfect anyways! I really loved this manicure. People went gaga over it and I wanted to eat it :)

Sally Hansen LCD

Time for a random swatch!

I really like the polish LCD by Sally Hansen, but it's quite sheer. I decided in order to make it pop I would layer it on top of a pink creme. I started with Essie Need A Vacation which is a bright light pink. Then I used LCD on top. It really made the color stand out. Pink, sparkly, and fun!

Essie Exotic Liras + Glitter

I love glitter. Plain and simple. I love it! Sometimes instead of doing nail art I love to just layer a fun glitter over a polish. This is one of those cases!

I used Essie Exotic Liras as my base. It's a bright red raspberry creme. I then layered Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polish in Strobe Light on top. It's a pink and silver glitter. An easy and flashy Nail of the Day!
