Cheap Sally Hansen Complete Care 4-N-1 Extra Moisturizer Treatment .5 oz.
I have nothing nice to say about this product, or any Sally Hansen product for that matter. I happened to purchase this product only after I could not locate my favorite Barielle nail care products at my local drugstores.
BIG BIG MISTAKE!!
Within a few short weeks of using these products, my nails started breaking, chipping and peeling in layers, which is something that has never happened to me before! My once perfect ten (thanks to Barielle nail care products, shameless plug!) had become a hideous ragged mess!
If I were smart I would have asked the beauty experts at the drugstores; their main consensus in my area was that Sally Hansen products are 'inferior' compared to the others. I couldn't agree more!
I have since managed to find my Barielle products again and am honestly amazed at how fast my nails are recovering and growing after this fiasco.
My SH products are now in the dumpster where they belong!
I tend to ruin even those professional manicures within 2 hours (and certainly within 2 days!), so I haven't pained my nails much since college.
I started exercising in a heavily chlorinated outdoor pool, however, and my nails started splitting. When I cut them down to the quick, they simply began to split beneath the quick! Even my toenails started to break. I held them together with duct tape at the office, then ran out to the nearest drugstore to buy something anything! that would keep my protective nails intact.
The lady in the cosmetics section was quite proud of her nails, and swore up and down that this was the product to buy: none of the $3 Sally Hansen solutions, no: this one! She invited me to touch her nails, which I did, and I admit they were strong and smooth, with blue nail polish on top. (Hey, you go, granny! I think she said she was 80)
At >13 bucks at the time of this review, this is pretty close to what I paid locally.
Since then I've been putting one coat on per day, three days in a row, after which the nail polish mysteriously cracks off, and they all peel. I don't know why it does that! The toenail polish stays on longer over a week.
I'm not even in the pool anymore, as it closed a couple of weeks ago right when I started using this product.
I moisturize my nails with a meyer lemon and olive oil blend that is a cooking oil, not specifically for nails, but the internet told me that was ok. :-P I also use Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, Fragrance-Free, 2 Ounce (Pack of 2) on my hands regularly, and I make sure to leave blobs of it on my nails and cuticles each time.
I have two big beefs with this product:
1. My nails are still breaking beneath the quick. They're all shiny/purdy, but they're still crack-a-lackin' like I've never seen before. It's absurd
2. The. SMELL. It dries very quickly, and I could handle the smell when I first put it on, but eating anything for hours and hours to come makes me crinkle my nose. My hands bring food to my face, which puts them beneath my nose, and the icky toxic solvent smells are strong for a long, long time. We went out with friends yesterday, and I was still wrinkling my nose 4 hours after I painted my nails. UGH. I have ordered Piggy Paint MAKE IT LAST (2PK) Basecoat and Topcoat Paired Up! and hope it will function better, or at least not smell so awful for so long.
Things this product does well:
1. It is pretty
2. It dries quickly
That's it. I'm still using it because I'm desperate, but I'm actively pursuing other options. If you purchase this product, I hope it works much better for you!
I applied the treatment semi-regularly over the last few months. I've never really monitored my nail growth, but the nails appeared to have grown slightly more than they normally do. The treatment also looks nice on my nailslike clear nail polish. It also helps to moisturize & protect my nails for the most part.
My big complaint is that the polish seems to chip relatively easily under my daily routine. I don't do muchjust secretary work & the occasional shift in a bookstore. I put a coat on a day ago & the edge of one of my nails has no treatment on it from where it rubbed off.
Overall though, I'm fairly pleased with this product. If I have need of it in the future I'll probably get another bottle.

Best Deals for Sally Hansen Complete Care 4-N-1 Extra Moisturizer Treatment .5 oz.
I purchased this product after a rather unfortunate run in with a set of acrylic nails that I had to get removed. (They were so thick that I had to get them removed & opted not to get them put back on.) Needless to say, that left my nails looking disgusting & weak.I applied the treatment semi-regularly over the last few months. I've never really monitored my nail growth, but the nails appeared to have grown slightly more than they normally do. The treatment also looks nice on my nailslike clear nail polish.

Cheap Sally Hansen Pedicure Salon Effects - #305 Pink Boa
There is nothing else like the Sally Hansen Salon Effects products. I have tried just about every other brand of nail decal/wrap there is and none of them compare (or even work half the time). These are applied the same as the ones for the nails, and last the same fantastic amount of time (maybe even longer my pedicures always last longer than my manicures). The only thing I find funny is that they even bother to make these specifically for the toes. You could use these on your nails if you wanted to. They're so comically long I had a good chuckle imagining toenails at that length. Just a marketing gimmick to sell more I suppose.

I hadn't purchased any of the toe stickers because I wasn't sure how they worked or how long they lasted. They're super easy to apply and last way longer than any pedicure I have ever had! Everyone and their mom complimented my toes too they thought it was a gel design. I did add a top coat after applying just so that they'd shine up and last longer.Monday, June 16, 2014
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color, Lightening, 0.31 Fluid Review
I own this, bought it from Walgreens. It is the BEST yellow I have. The consistency is thick enough that I usually only apply one coat. The first finger's dry by the time I'm done with my whole hand. The yellow is bright almost neon, but not hi-lighter. I just love it, I hope they never stop making it :)

Great color. The color you get is exactly as shown here. Comes out on your nails the same as shown too.Best Deals for Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color, Lightening, 0.31 Fluid
The brush is a wide, flat brush which takes some getting used to, but it applies a lot of color at one time. The color is very thick and I only needed two coats could possibly get away with one. I didn't use a top coat (used a base) and there is very little chipping three days later. The yellow isn't exactly as pictured; it's a little more golden yellow (which looks better in my opinion).Honest reviews on Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color, Lightening, 0.31 Fluid
it's not a glossy polish, it looks dry. not what I expected. But I like the color. Had to put a gloss polish on it for to to workFind helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color, Lightening, 0.31 Fluid
This yellow was the perfect shade. My problem with this polish is the brush is too wide and it cracks even after applying the sally hansen clear top coat. I wouldn't buy this again.Friday, June 6, 2014
Buy WAWO Dried Flower Nail Art Decoration Mixed Colours Shapes in Case
I ordered these and honestly didn't expect much given the price (it was $1.76 when I ordered with no shipping charges). The product came in 2-3 weeks and appears the same as the pictures. They description says "3000 PCS Nail Art Rhinestones Glitter", which implies that there are 3,000 pieces. That's definitely not the case. I would estimate 250-400. Either way, it was an extremely good price and I'd probably pay $10 at the store for the same thing. I still think they should be honest and realistic about how many gems are included I doubt that would impact their orders because of the unbeatable price. The container is nice that the come in, you can open one pocket at a time so there's no mixing of the colors. A small tube a glue would've been a nice extra that I would've gladly paid a little more for. I definitely recommend this product, it's great for nails, projects, scrapbooking and many other uses.

Buy Sally Hansen, Complete Salon Manicure, Eel Skin, .5 Fl. Oz.
The nail polish does not live up to the advertisement. It is streaky and hard to get even. It also only lasts for a few days. Wish it performed better. Sorry.

Cheap Incoco Nail Polish Strips, Easter Bunny Nail Art, Hippity Hop
These were cute, even on my short nails. A fun design for easter for sure. Easy to apply. They are a bit flimsier than the Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips, which is good and bad. It made them easier to apply but also more susceptible to damage. I had 2 of them tear while trying to apply but there are enough extras in the pack that it wasn't too big of a deal.
I highly suggest using a clear top coat. They still only last about a week, not the 7-10 days as advertised, but I can't imagine them lasting more than 5 minutes without a top coat.
The reasons for the 3 stars are because of the aforementioned flimsiness but also because of the price. By the time you add shipping, it's a bit steep for something that lasts a week at most. I'd be much more likely to buy these more often if they were offered through Prime.
