Kitty Kitty Clawz

Salut les filles :)

Desolée for my brief hiatus, it was a looong weekend of good stuff and I have pix coming :) Today's post is a quick nail look--courtesy of Sally Hansen nail stickers--which I'm sure you're all familiar with. I got them for my 4 year old sister simply because I think this product may be a safer alternative for kids than polish, plus there's no drying time, so she can't possibly mess them up. I just can't bear seeing my nail artwork go to he// after I spent a solid hour of putting my all into it lol... Soo, although I originally got them for my sis, I decided to open up the box and test the product. Testing, testing, 1 2 3... :)
Read more for pix & review



Inside the box of Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips:

  • 2 sets of nail strips in Kitty Kitty (8 in each)... why 8? Last I checked I have 10 fingers!!!
  • 1 mini filer/buffer
  • 1 cuticle stick
  • directions


PROS:

  1. Easy to apply
  2. Product claims to last up to 10 days (I will update)
  3. No drying time
  4. Strips are long and can be cut in half, so out of the 8 strips from 1 set, I only used 5!!! See, I'm not a bad big sis after all :)
CONS:
  1. Edges are a bit rough, even after filing
  2. Pricey: $8-10 (although that's way cheaper than other brands)
  3. Design is very generic and too easily recognizable (to me)
Day 2--NO chip :)

MY OWN VERSION, photo taken last year, pre-nail stickers :)))

P. S. I think I'll be recreating these myself from now on, dontcha agree ;)

bisous,

Maryam Maquillage

  3. i really liked them! they held up well when i went on vacation wtih them and got tons of compliments, so i was well pleased. i want to try the other styles. i didn't like the rippling though, they were a bit tough to get perfectly smooth to the nails :-/

  15. Hey Maryam I'm wondering though, how is the application? do they come out smooth? any bubbles or bulging?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Nice post! I just got the "nylon" looking ones. They didn't last me more than a week. They looked cool and I got a lot of compliments but it's totally not worth a week for $8.

  22. these nail stickers are awesome ladies--totally worth a try!!! Just remember, cut them in the middle (after you apply the strip) and voila--you have 2!!!
