    I really like this product because the designs they have created are very appealing and you don't even have to wait for it to dry which is awesome because I tend to be impatient. I also like how they do stay on pretty long. My only complaint is that it takes much longer to apply than actual nail polish and some of the strips didn't really fit that well so I had to keep going through them all trying to find the most appropriate size. So personally, I wouldn't really wear these consistently I would just do it once in a while due to the fact that they take long to apply.

    Not for me!

    I bought these over the weekend, as I didn't have time to get a manicure and was going out for a girls night on the town.. I will never purchase them again! For one, I read the instructions about 4895845 times - because I kept messing up, and thought that maybe I wasn't doing them properly.. For the life of me, I couldn't get them to work - and I hadn't even started drinking yet! Definitely a huge waste of money for me. Bummer!

    Definitely not recommended for those impatient people out there!

    I was fairly happy with these, with almost everything other than the price. I got it on sale for $8.99 CAN, regular $11.99. I thought that was a bit much for nail stickers. Also, with the work I do (painting, random stuff), its very hard to clean things like paint off of them. The cover says 'Lasts up to 10 Days', but they really only last for about 5. Unless, of course, you were to sit there and NOT MOVE AT ALL for 10 days, which no body should do, obvoiusly. I did, though, find applying them fairly easy. You really need to take your time. Heres a tip -- the instructions tell you to thuroughly clean your nails before applying them, and they really mean it. I missed a tiny bit of my old nail polish when I put these on, and it has started to peel at that part. Overall, though, I do like this product.

    Super easy to apply. Last great for 10 days (with a good top coat) Comes in many beautiful print. so if you arent nail art savy, then i would strongly recommend this product. I have wide nails and i was able to apply the stickers to all nails as they come in a good variation of sizes. 16 per box. Great DEAL! Love IT

    I saw a friend putting these on, and had to have some. So I went and bought them, they are 9.99 for 16 strips, and they come with the nail file and the stick for smoothing. They are so easy to apply, and it says they last for 10 days. The first ones I put on lasted a month! The second time, the lasted the 10 days.
    They look so cute, and I had so many compliments, and people asking how did you do that?
    I would recommend them to anyone.
    The only thing I had trouble with was getting them off. It says they come off with just nail polish remover, and they do, but I found it has to be the tub of polish with the sponge that you stick your finger into and twist.

    I couldn't for the life of me get these to work for me! Perhaps I didn't read the instructions well enough, but it just looked like a piece of plastic in my nails that wouldn't stick well! Didn't think they were worth the $10 and was pretty disappointed!

    You really need some patience to apply these strips. I got the hang of it, but one nail was applied badly and ripped so I had to fix it with another strip, causing the pattern to look a little off. It still looked great and lasted a lot time without any chips or peeling.The patterns they have are cute and they are usually on sale. The big downside to this product for me is how hard it is to remove it with nail polish remover. I used the zebra print, and maybe it was because of the white and the black, but the white came off fairly easy but the black strips took a lot of time to get off.

    I enjoy using this product. It's easy to use after some practice. Don't give up after the first set. I was able to put them on without a hitch with the second pattern I used. I just bought a third pattern. I have my eye on two other ones that I really want. There are so many cute patterns. It surprisingly lasts a while. I like these a lot better than the Sephora brand because it felt significantly thinner on my nails.

    I love these nail polish strips. I've used a few different designs but the 'Kitty Kitty' (Leopard spots) is my favourite!! They are SUPER easy to apply, and what I usually do is add a clear topcoat when they're applied. 3 or 4 days later, I add another layer of topcoat. They usually last me 2 weeks give or take. They're really easy to remove too. I love them! I just wish they had more designs!!

    After applying the first two nails, I got the hang of it really quickly. They are very easy to apply.
    On the packaging it said they last up to 10 days of wear and they really did last that long with barely any chipping at all! My nail polish always chips after 3-4 days no matter what band of nail polish and top coat I've used. But these Sally Hansen Salon Effects really outperform!
    The Sally Hansen website says there are 24 nail strip designs on the market. Out of the 24, there's only a few that I really like enough to purchase. I don't have any complaints about them at all and I actually really like the concept of these nail strips. I just wish they had more variety with intricate/unique styles.
    But with that being said, I'm really happy with these Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips and will definitely repurchase!
