Reviews of Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle, Pretty Petunia, 0.45 Fluid Ounce
My only complaint about this product is that the polish seems to chip easily. I'm used to wearing ORLY (which I swear by) but they discontinued the color I've been wearing for so many years. This is a close match but the quality isn't on par with ORLY. I still like it, though.

Buy Sally Hansen Color Quick Nail Enamel - Sand - 0.14 oz
The product is interesting and does dry fast enough but does not leave a smooth finish. My real beef is that the color is called SAND Shimmer and I expect it to be a tan or beige not PINK! It is very shimmery.
But I had some issues with it. The first was something I think may be endemic to all of these types of products the polish was thick. That makes it somewhat gloppy right off the bat and difficult to push close to the cuticle without getting it onto the cuticle.
The second is that the description on the package about how to get the polish going didn't work for me. What I found to work was holding the plunger down and repeatedly bending the bristles on the nail to be painted. That got the color flowing and distributed across the brush.
The third issue is that the brush had too many bristles, making it difficult to do the fine painting needed on a woman's (read small area) nails. If I had thought about it, I would have cut off half the bristles before starting with the product, and I will do so the next time I get one.
But overall, it worked. If you're looking for some quick, light color and you're not too fussy about a little sloppiness (because of #1 and #3 above), it's fine. But if the polish color were bright or intense like a red, it certainly would show the mistakes more and I wouldn't be happy with the look. I would definitely do it the traditional way.

As with this line of product, my wife believe it requires expertise to apply and the color goes away very fast if you wash the hands often.

Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat Nail Polish, Cherry Smash, 0.4 Fluid Reviews
List Price: $6.37
Sale Price: $4.05
Today's Bonus: 36% Off
The polish does NOT read well over black polish, as you are led to believe. It's barely visible other than to make your nails look completely jacked up. To say it doesn't look as advertised is an understatement. It's more of a dull matte burgandy brown. Looks absolutely terrible over the black. I've been playing around with it trying to get it to even vaguely resemble what its supposed to with no luck. Might work over a yellow or other very light color, but not black. I'm extremely disappointed...I had high hopes. I would only recommend the metallic colors over black.

The pure red color as shown on the swatch is much darker IF applied over black. It's more like dark burgundy-brownish.The quality and special effect is sufficient, it does the crackle effect well though it may be a little difficult to get your desired effect at first.
I bought this at CVS but felt the need to leave a review for the color difference. Also, it's half the price than as shown on this site.

Review of Nair Nair Salon Divine Microwavable Body Wax
I've been waxing for over 4 years now. I hated having to pay $80 every 6 weeks to get waxed so I decided to do it my self. I've been using this wax for 2 years now. It's saved me TONS of money and I can schedule my own time to do the service. In regards to bikini waxing, it DOES hurt in some areas depending on how much hair you have and how long it's been since your last wax. I prefer to wax consistently every 6-7 weeks. Anything after 8 is like waxing for the first time all over again.
I have not had any problems with stray hairs, extreme pain, bruising, or tons of wax residue left over like some of the negative reviewers had. Here are some of my tips (for bikini/brazilian) that I've found work best. This might not work for all people, but hopefully some of what I do may help some of you.
1. If you plan on showering before you wax, wait at least 2 hours before waxing. If you're like me and take hot showers, your skin stays moist for a while. The wax doesn't adhere as good if your follicles and hair shafts are moist.
2. Sit on a towel you won't mind getting wax on.
3. Pat or wipe on a light coating of baby powder on the area you want to wax. This helps the wax stick better.
4. If your hair is REALLY long, trim it to about 1/2" 3/4" inch. Don't trim it too short or the wax won't grab it well. Reason to trim long hair: You want to apply the wax in a section you plan on pulling. If you have long hairs, some of the ones you didn't mean to wax with that application may get caught in the wax and now you're pulling 1 or 2 hairs in the wrong spot and it's painful.
5. Start with small sections at a time and see how it feels before you go crazy and put on too much wax. Don't try to wax a whole section at once. You'll definitely leave strays behind.
6. When applying the wax, apply a thicker amount of wax on the section you plan on using as your "tab" to start pulling. It makes it easier to pull.
7. Sometimes, I'll get wax on my fingers and it gets really tacky and hard to remove. Wait a while, run your fingers under cold water and let it harden. You can then peel or rub it off easier.
8. When you're done and you find leftover wax residue, you can use baby oil or use cool water to help harden the wax particles/pieces and it'll pop right off.
9. The after use towelettes are helpful, but I like to use lavender baby oil instead. It helps calm my skin after all that waxing.
I don't use this wax for eyebrow or lip waxing. The wax is too thick and doesn't grasp super fine hairs that well. This wax works best on coarse hair. I prefer to use the stickier wax with strips or my epilady legend (which I will review in a minute).
Hope this helps some of you!
Aloha!
My only issue is that as I got halfway through the tub, it got harder to heat up! The brand new tub was nice and liquidy after 4 minutes, I'd wait a little bit for it to cool to the right consistency and by that point the wax would be the right temperature to apply.
When I used up half the tub it got harder to use because the wax consistency just wasn't the same after heating. Part of the wax would melt a little too thick, and the other wax would still be semi solid. When that happened I'd just stick in the microwave for longer so it became more liquidy, but then the wax would be too hot and cool too fast. I'm not sure if this is because the wax got contaminated and oily from double dipping (it's my private tub, I can do that) or if the wax just naturally gets harder to use after multiple heatings and coolings. It still works fine, it just got more annoying as I worked my way through the tub because when the wax was the right consistency, it would sometimes be a little too hot, and by the time it cooled enough, the consistency would be a little too thick. It was still usable that way though and now I am at the very bottom of the tub.
Overall it's a great product and I'm going to use it again. Worth your money.
As with any wax hair removal, a certain amount of pain is involved. That goes without saying. Also, like most wax products, there's a certain amount of mess involved. This is minimal and well worth it!

When I first started waxing, I had no idea what I was doing and would end up with wax clumps stuck to my hairs. If you do know how to wax, this product is absolutely amazing. It takes all my armpit hairs off and barely hurts-it's tolerable for me at least. Armpits are ridiculously easy to do. The private area is more tricky obviously, but as long as you apply in the direction of hair growth and pull in the opposite direction it will do wonders. Baby powder makes a huge difference as well. This wax grips the hairs really well and will remove practically everything.My only issue is that as I got halfway through the tub, it got harder to heat up! The brand new tub was nice and liquidy after 4 minutes, I'd wait a little bit for it to cool to the right consistency and by that point the wax would be the right temperature to apply.

I've tried just about every home wax product out there and NOTHING works as well as this product! Other home waxing kits either don't work or are extra painful leaving bruising because it's not effective. Not so with Nair Salon Devine. Pop the container in the microwave and heat according to the directions. Spread on. Wait a minute or two for it to dry and quickly pull off the strip of wax. No more messing around with cloth strips or gooey waxes that don't fully dry.As with any wax hair removal, a certain amount of pain is involved. That goes without saying.

Honest reviews on Nair Nair Salon Divine Microwavable Body Wax
I LOVE this wax ... the way the wax is formulated, it grabs the hair, even short hair, without overly grabbing the skin, therefore less painful than professional waxing I have done and no irritation at all after waxing! I tried this product after having a pretty good result with their disposal strips. The only down side is getting the residual wax off that is left behind on hands and skin ... the included wipes help, but are quite greasy. But am very pleased with this product.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Nair Nair Salon Divine Microwavable Body Wax
It is the only home wax I will ever use. I've tried stuff with pre-made strips, cloth strips... you name it, I've tried it. This wax is the best! Since it goes on warm, it opens your pores and allows the hair to come out more easily. As it cools, it gets really hard and isn't tacky like lots of other brands. and it doesn't leave a residue. My tip is to work small areas and use generously do not put it on too thin.Tuesday, December 31, 2013
Cheap Incoco Nail Polish Strips, Blue Purple Glitter, Silent Night
I love the designs incoco offers, but every single product I have purchased are almost dried out, which makes them difficult to apply. I've even had to use nail glue to get them to stick. And you cannot keep unused one for later. They will crack in half. I'll stay with Essie and Sally Hansen. I get much more mileage out of those...

Sally Hansen Salon Effects 803 Purr-Fect Harmony - Avril Lavigne Review
This is the first time I have been disappointed in a shade of the Sally Hansen Salon Effects. The picture shows multicolors. I can only see the top one in each package and they are one color with a small amount of color change along the edge, not the end. I won't know until I open them if all are the same, but this one has no variation in color. I even paid more for these than any others I have ordered because of the color shown. Definitely will not order more of this shade. The color design on the side of the box shows the variation of color but the picture on the back of the box is one color.

The Sally Hansen polish strips are great. They take a bit of time to apply (about an hour) but once they are on, I top them with a clear coat and they last for two weeks.
