Sally Hansen Rock of Ages Salon Effect Real Nail Polish Strips Review

GET ROCKER CHIC NAILS

WITH “ROCK OF AGES”-INSPIRED SALON EFFECTS

REAL NAIL POLISH STRIPS

FROM SALLY HANSEN

Sally Hansen recently released a set of Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips inspired by the head-banging film adaptation of the Broadway hit from New Line Cinema, “Rock of Ages!”  I did a Launch post for them HERE.  I also received two of the eight Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips to show you lovelies!

I want to start by saying that I am no expert in applying these, but they are easier to apply than I originally thought.

Fingerlace Gloves:

Fingerlace Gloves were my favorite of the two sets I received.  These strips were made to look like… well… Fingerlace Gloves.  Observe:

Pretty good right?  Fingerlace Gloves has a cream colored background and a black lace look.  This was the second set I applied, so I had some practice at this point.  Not too bad!

Sticks and Stones:

Sticks and Stones was the set I was dying for, but the design for me was just ok.  I think part of it for me was that none of the designs were consistent so every nail looked different.  That can be a good thing, but I have a little OCD issue with that.  I still thought they were cute, just not my type.  I would use these for accent nails though, a lot of the Sally Hansen Real Nail Polish Strips make great accent nails!

Both sets applied easily, but I found that none of the strips fit my pointer finger well.  There was either too much leftover or not enough to cover.  I used the one that was slightly too small and really, it wasn’t that noticeable to me.  Each box came with an orange stick, a mini nail file/buffer and instructions that are easy to follow (hey, if I can do it, there is hope for a lot of ladies!)

WHAT IT COSTS: $9.99

 WHERE TO FIND THEM: Sally Hansen products are available at chain drug stores, food stores and mass merchandisers nationally.

Pretty! Love the lace. What happens when these chip? Doors a corner mush up, does it tear, or does it look likea normal chip?

For me it kind of fade’s in corners. I’ve never had an issue with it “mushing up” though.
