I had two coupons and there was a sale so I picked up two of the new Sally Hansen Salon Effects. In case you don't know what they are - Salon Effects are nail polish stickers. I've been playing with nail art foil so I figured these would be just as easy to apply. Well they are but they aren't very adhesive. I noticed some lifting and decided to put a topcoat over them and that seemed to get everything to stay down. My one complaint is the size options. Only two of the sticker sizes fit my nails without any cutting (besided length) and the rest were too big. If you have small nails these may be a pain in the butt to apply. I had to trim the side of some of the stickers to get them to fit which may have caused the lifting.
Overall they are fun but I wouldn't pay full price. I can see these being great for kids or possibly pedicures but for me - I'll stick to stamping. I just can't see myself reaching for these like I do other "nail art" items. Also, wearing these tempt me to pick at my nails which is a habit I broke awhile back and would not like to pick up again.
The pattern looks pixelated up close but looks clear from a distance. This is Girl Flower. I like the pattern and I would love to re-create this with stamping. I do wonder if I could wear a base color with these? Hmm.
It kind of looks like I put wallpaper on my nails.
