Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Laced Up

New Year and new stuff at Beautyburg! We created our first video on YouTube. I had to create a video for Sally Hansen Salon Effects. This is a drugstore version of nail polish strips, like Minx and Incoco. The cost is $9.99, which is similar to other brands, but the advantage is that the distribution of Sally Hansen is much more accessable.

The reason I wanted to create a video tutorial for these was mainly because I had no idea how they worked! I had never applied a dry nail polish strip before, so I thought that I couldn't be the only one. I hope it's helpful!

The box.

Sally Hansen Salon Effects come in a variety of shades and patterns. There are neon shades, glitters and printed patterns. Each box comes with 1 application and contains: a mini nail file, a cuticle stick and 16 nail polish strips.

The contents.

Prep: file and shape, then buff.

Wipe nails with nail polish remover.

The finished product.

I personally found the process a little labor intensive. For $9.99 for 1 application, you could go to a salon and get a manicure. But I loved the funky patterns, and I received a compliment almost every where I went. Sally Hansen claims up to 10 days of wear, but I found it was closer to 5 before tippage and peeling took over. I would recommend this for a special occasion or if you want to try nail art without the hassle of Konading or attempting freehand.
