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 betterI 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 short
THE 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.
