Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips!

I'd been on the lookout to find these in Canada ever since I saw them advertised a few months ago...and today I finally picked some up! I chose "misbehaved" which is a silver colour with a black fishnet pattern. The product is actually pretty amazing, it's real nail polish but is already dry. It did take quite some time to apply but I got more efficient as I went along. Each package comes with 2 packs containing 8 different size strips. I only had to use one pack because it's really easy to cut some of the bigger ones in half and use on two nails. Also included is a little file and a cuticle stick.You basically just peel off the strip, press it down, and file away the excess. They seem to go on better if a little warm, and once the plastic is peeled off the quicker you put it on the better it works. Now let's see how long they last! On a side note, I'm also a fan of Sally Hansen's complete salon manicure line. The polish goes on really easily but I find I need to add a good topcoat if I want it to last more than a couple days. I really like the wide, angled brush and the colours they have available which has caused me to accumulate about a dozen so far...

The results!
