Buy Sally Hansen Salon Effects in the Spot-light

Customer Ratings:

Sally Hansen's Salon Effects are my newest obsession! These babies ain't cheap, either! But when you consider the wear and that you don't have to "touch up" every other day, then you almost forget the price! The trick is to center the stickers on your nails. I like that they include different widths for each nail so I can customize my fit. I enjoy a narrow sticker on my thumb for instance, to give an illusion of length instead of the sticker going from cuticle to cuticle. I can choose a narrower thumb sticker and get the look I want. Now for the wonderful part. They last FOREVER! I'm a mommy whose hands are forever in a sink or toilet or washing machine and yet, the stickers don't peel or chip. I think the trick is to press them on very well from the beginning. I center each sticker then press and roll my thumb from side to side to make sure there are no edges or lumps. When I come to the tips where the extra sticker is hanging off, I just file it down toward the table, not upwards, so the sticky part is pressed firmly onto the tips. My method seems to work wonders b/c I don't even mess with my nails until its time to choose another pattern, three weeks later!! It has also allowed me to grow-out my nails which are normally VERY short b/c they distract me from the growth, which I'm used to biting off! I know, gross but true. It doesn't hurt that everyone ooohs and aahhhs when they see your hands too..."how did you DO that?" You just wait, nail polish bottles are a dying breed!

Best Deals for Sally Hansen Salon Effects in the Spot-light

I found these in a bin at a store and thought I would give it a try. I love them. The designs are wonderful and ALWAYS get a "wow your nails are cute'' from anyone who happens to notice my hand while out and about. The only way the appliques won't work is if they are allowed to dry out or if you purchase a kit that has the seal on the nail designs broken. The trick to them is simple.

-Prep your nails in the way you find desireable

-gently push back your cuticles and clip off any ragged edges (young people ask your mom, older sis or BFF for help with this)

-Buff your nails with a mild buffer.

-WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY (THIS STEP AND THE NEXT ONE is key to getting a long lasting manicure using the Salon Effects).

-Get a cotton swab and put rubbing alcohol on it and wipe your nail beds. THIS PART IS KEY TO REMOVING ANY OILS OR RESIDUE FROM THE HAND SOAP.

-Pull off the clear cover on each nail and pull the design away from the backing.

-Start by centering the appliqe in the center base of your nail (along the cuticle)

-Gently lay it over your nail. It is repositionable so you should be able to bump it left, right or forward. You can also stretch the applique a bit to cover your nail bed if you have broad fingers.

-Use the flat side of the wooden stick that is included to push the applique in to the crease all around the nail and then use the sharp end to GENTLY push the applique in.

-Take the white side of the file provided and lay it over your entire nail and rock it side to side to press the applique on to the nail. When you are ready and if you get good at it you can pull the excess pattern downward (away from the nail) and then use either the white side of the file or the coarser pink side to SLOWLY AND GENTLY flie your nail using one-way down-ward strokes.

-When you get all the excess removed then press the white side of the file on top of the nail again and then finish off with a good top coat. It should last 2-3 weeks.

This is fun and while they are expensive at places like Ulta, you can find then cheaper at WalMart and here on Amazon.
