    I was hesitant to try this product at first - i had heard people complain that the nail polish was a pain to get off and the glue on the decal damaged your nails. I still gave it try. I tried the black french manicure and the white french manicure. The steps were easy to follow, the kit comes with all the tools you need and your nails look like a million dollars once your done. I honestly thought the nail polish would last a few rounds of washing dishes...boy was i wrong! Each set lasted 2-3 weeks. Definately worth every penny!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I absolutely love these! They do take time and patience, but when you do them right, they have an awesome effect! I added a top coat of Seche Vite, and my nails stayed for two weeks! I did my big toes with the Flower Child print, and they lasted over a month! I can't wait to do leopard print.

    You do need to have nicely-manicured nails and enough time... I think I may try to have the next set applied at the salon, but for the effect, they are very cool and fun! The price could be a little less though.

    I just love these nail polish strips! I bought a pack of these (the pink glittery one, not sure what it's called) after reading a bunch of reviews about how great they were. Sadly though I didn't follow the instructions and decided to open up one of the packs, looked at the strips, and then placed them back into the box to use later, even though the instructions clearly state to use them as soon as you open up the pack otherwise they wont stick. So after wasting one pack I went back to a store and bought a new pack of them (the zebra style one, Wild Child.). This time I actually followed instructions.

    First off, applying them. Applying the strips was incredibly hard for me. It was hard to get them at the right angle to put them on my nails and they easily became uneven while trying to file the excess off and I ended up getting a few wrinkles in a few of the nail polish strips during the process. 30 minutes later I finally got them all on, and besides quite a few dents and wrinkles, they just look amazing! I've gotten compliments while wearing them and the variety of strips you can buy is great. Of course, it's a lot quicker and easier to just apply nail polish (plus not as expensive), but if you have the time it's really worth it. I've already bought two more packs and it's getting easier to apply them too. Plus there are so many ways you can use them, you can paint some nails with nail polish and apply strips on one or two nails, or you can even use two different strips, one different one on each nail, etc.

    So if you want some pretty nail designs and don't feel like paying all that money to go to a salon or, like me, are horrible at painting your nails and wouldn't be able to do designs without it looking like poo, be sure to pick up some Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips!

    I bought this product thinking it would be easy. Well it wasn't that easy for me, but once you got them on and smoothed over they looked very nice. It takes a lot of patients for these and a lot of precision. The wear time was about a week (I'm a cashier, and didn't even expect them to last that long). Very easy to get off with nail polish remover.

    Overall loved the product and the designs, hate the time incorporated !
    But its better than nail polish itself, no drying time !
