Sally HansenSalon Effects Couture Nail Stickers, Fab-Ric, 18 Count

I love the white tips. I don’t like the full nail because of the color. I wish it was a clear coat.

I can't say enough about Sally Hansen nail strips (and Incoco nail strips)! Finally, I can have painted nails! My nails are thin and any nail polish I used chipped within two days - sometimes they chipped in less than one day. I bought these based on the reviews and I had very low expectations, I think because what works for most people's nails usually doesn't work for me.Honestly, the first trial didn't go well. They chipped almost immediately around the edges, but it wasn't terribly noticeable because of the pattern. The rest of the polish stayed on nicely.The second trial was much better- I learned how to smooth the edges better so no chips. After 7 applications, I thought I'd write a review - it's FOR REAL!!!WHAT I LIKE:*Nails last at least 7 days (they probably last longer, but I have to keep my nails very short for my sport, so I have to change nail polish once a week)*The patterns make my short nails look feminine*They are instantly dry - no waking up in the morning with smudges!!!*They are affordable - I get TWO applications from each box because my nails are shortTHE DOWNSIDE:*Taking the nail polish off is a process - have plenty of nail polish remover on hand and patience, too.*Putting the nail strips on takes longer than painting nails. (If you count dry-time the strips are faster than regular polish, but the application time is longer.)SALLY HANSEN VS. INCOCO*Sally Hansen's strips come in TWO separate pouches, so I can have two applications. Incoco's strips come in one pouch that can be resealed. Sometimes the second set can dry out and not work.*Sally Hansen's strips are often available on Prime so you can get them faster (and cheaper) than Incoco's strips*Incoco's big advantage is tasteful designs. Some are just gorgeous. I'm a 40+ woman and am not interested in skulls and tattoo art on my fingers. Most of Sally Hansen's patterns are targeted at teens. Incoco's designs are beautiful and more appropriate for women.TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION*Make sure the room is WARM. I turn on a space heater.*Once you have the polish in place, smooth it down well with your fingers.*Make sure to smooth the tips well - any rough edges will "catch" on fabric and chip*Apply a clear top coat within 24 hours.*Apply a second top coat after 3 or 4 days.

I probably had expectations too high because I love the Sally Hansen brand of polish. These wraps were a letdown.1. I tried another brand that was much easier to apply, thicker, and more durable-feeling than these. What I hated:2. These are so thin that I actually ripped one while peeling away from the backing. These just feel super flimsy and cheap.3.This particular design is much whiter/brighter than I thought. It's not just my dark skin because my lighter friend tried one and... It looks like I am wearing liquid paper on my nails.4. The application is very awkward and not that user-friendly. Everything is so thin that peeling the wraps was easy to mess up.5. Unlike with another brand I tried, I could not apply a clear coat to this. The dark print smeared when I tried to so I had to paint completely over to cover the mess. So... cheap?What I did like:1. Choosing the design was my fault. If not for the color, the script design would be really cute.2. The kit well-packaged & had everything needed for the application.3. The wraps lay nicely once they are applied. They are very smooth & do look as if painted onto the nail4. I do think these will last just for the fact that they apply to flat.I wish I had tried another design. Even though I won't buy this brand again (I have ordered more of the Diva gel manicure wraps instead!), I really wanted to like these.So, overall, these felt cheap and the color ran under clear polish. If I had tried this brand first, I might not ever have tried any more wraps.

I found these Sally Hansen Salon Effects real nail polish strips last year and have loved them since! I still love regular nail polish, but these are great to have on hand because they take 10 minutes to put on and there is no dry time or set time! They look just like polished nails and are great for last minute plans manicures, Mama's who only have 10 minutes or anyone who doesn't have time to wait for their nails to dry and set! I hope they make them FOREVER!!!!!! i'm a lady who likes to have her nails done because it makes me happy, but I don't have the patience to go get a weekly mani. They are VERY easy to use! The very first time I got the hang of it quickly and the more times you do it the faster and even better you are (although I was very pleased w my 1st ones and I'm picky about my nails.) They say 10 days, but mine often last longer still looking great and you can extend them even further by adding a clear top coat like Sally Hansen Instant Dry top coat (my personal favorite). I'm sure other good instant dry top coats would work to extend the life too. I'm wearing a box from this shipment right now and I've had them on at least a week or more and they look great (and I'm a Mama of a 5yo:) i get tons of compliments whenever i wear these!!! Happy 10 minute Mani! P.S. I did mess up once bad on a nail - my own fault - but since they were the pink glitter ones I patched the tip w a leftover from another nail and you couldn't even see it. That's awesome! I even did my 5yo nails for fun one weekend (we took it off before Monday school;) from the scraps from the ends of the nails bc the polish strips are very long to really accomadate everyone from very short to VERY long nails!

I'm a fan of Sally Hansen products. I never tried their nail polish strips so I decided to give Black to Basics a try. They were easy to apply, they have enough shapes to match my nails and the design is really cute. My main issue was that the lifted texture of the design kept getting snagged on my blanket and my fingertips felt like serrated edges. I found that quite annoying. If you can find a way to smooth the edges after you file off the excess strip then I say go for it. Otherwise, cute design, ready to apply, the price is good.

i have used dashing diva before,much better, these have a wierd texture to them,i only just put them on dont know if i will want to wear them in public. they kind of look like youve hit your fingers with a hammer cuz of the colors and they are flat colori never have to use polish with dashing diva, so i wont buy these again

I ordered 2 sets of these packages, the first one did not even last 2 hours, so I figured I just got a faulty package. So i proceeded to apply the 2 box the next day and they barely lasted 24hours. I've used this product before and the manicure usually lasts minimum 7 days, so I think I got a bad batch. When I took a closer look at the "stickers" it appears as though the adhesive was dried out or old, so perhaps that's why? Really not happy with this order and don't think I would re-order and risk this again :(

Great product

Not a time saver. Lol. Took an hour to put on.Picture is 3 days later, all cracked.

I've only given a 2 star as I really didn't like the sticker polish. I followed all instructions perfectly, but by the next evening I had to remove the polish as it had flaked and chipped. I was really disappointed as it not cheap for only application! But I guess it would look great for a special occasion. I will not be buying this product again.
