    I have always loved these strips. They have a lot of designs to choose from and I don't have to wait for drying. That is definitely one of things that turned me to it. I do find it a little pricey though. I think that I would buy them more often if they were not so expensive

    There is a definite learning curve with these polish strips, but once you've got it, it's a good product. I managed to stretch one box into 3 applications by using several strips twice (doing 2 nails with each strip) and that really made it worth my money, but I wouldn't recommend that with any design you wouldn't want stretched (i.e. the metallics).

    Insta-dry, fairly easy to put on. I did the whole thing, first time, in less than 40 minutes. The polish lasted about the same amount of time as plain-old nail polish, not the 10 days, but I'm the type who uses her nails as a Swiss Army knife so that's not a good indicator necessarily!

    It was a little rough to get off at the end of it's nail-life, but I was able to use regular polish removal to do it. Just be patient.

    I bought a set of these strips to try and ended up buying more of these afterwards.
    They were a bit wide for my nails so I cut them a bit to fit before taking off the backing.
    I used acetone on my nails first to be sure there were no oils on my nails. I have had these on now for close to a week and I have no chips, no peeling. Just a teeny bit of tip wear as I type A LOT and am hard on my nails day to day.
    To be sure they last, I applied the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel topcoat after and put my nails under a sunlamp for one minute.
    These are great if you want cute patterns on your nails but aren't good at doing nail art. It's also a lot cheaper than a salon mani.
    When you do want to take them off, they remove easily with nail polish remover as they're made out of nail polish.
    Easy to apply and long wearing! If you have a dollar store nearby, sometimes you find these for $2. Great deal.
    I've used nail stickers and nail wraps before and didn't like them. They never last on me and I found them hard to apply smoothly. The polish strips you can stretch a bit so they smooth out easily.

    The photo in my review is after four days of wear.

    I've used these several times in the past & have always had a good experience. I find they go on quite easy & have lasting power. I always put a clear top coat on to seal them a bit more so there isn't any chipping & have had great success. They can be a bit difficult to get off however that may also be from putting the clear top coat on to seal them. I would recommend these when you are looking to have a cute inexpensive at home manicure.

    I am torn on how I feel about this product. I love how easy the application is and the designs look great, however, I was not impressed by the lasting power. Within a few hours of wearing them they started to peel off and with just water they were easily peel-able. I am not sure if I applied them wrong or what the deal is but I may have to give them another try. For now, I would rate this product something that it is worth a try if you do not have high expectations for the product like I did.

    My experience with Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips wasn't very good. I applied the strips and literally within a couple hours they were starting to peel off. The couple that weren't peeling off I ended up taking off the same day. I will admit perhaps it's because I had never used the product before and didn't know how to use them as well as I should or perhaps I just got a defective batch. I'm happy to see other people have had better experiences than I have.

    I love these! They are super easy to apply when you are in a hurry. I also like mixing them with a few nails in matching solid nail polish with one done in the sticker as well for a different look with the left over strips. I like how they come in so many different designs depending on the mood you are in. I find they last longer if you add a coat of nail art sealer on top or just plain clear nail polish, adds some extra shine as well.
