10 Best Nail Polishes

Polish strips
These are really fun. I used the floral on each thumb. Too much on every nail. Need to put top coat on so it's shiny.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 9 people said helpful

Review subject
The first time I purchased these I had a hard time getting them to work on my nails. The second time though, I took my time and was really happy with the results. I have tried several patterns since, and loved every one. I don't like the smell of nail polish, so I was happy that these don't smell nearly as bad (but, they do still have a faint smell of nail polish to them). I have small hands/nails...read more, so I do have to alter the size of the nail strips to work with me. It lasted about a week and a half, which is a good length for me (usually polish chips off after a couple days). I like the color/pattern selection. I found them to be a little spendy, so I can't purchase them all the time. But, over all I was happy with this product.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 10 people said helpful

Sorrry, not for me :(
I’ll start off by saying that I wasn’t willing to spend the $10 that these retail for, but I found them at an Ulta sale for $2.50. I heard such great things about them, I was READY to try them! I am super picky about my nails; I guess mainly because I inherited hard, long growing nails so I am spoiled with that genetic blessing. Remember the time and practice it took you to be good at doing...read more a manicure or give up and decide that you would rather just pay to have them done??? I think that it will take just as much time to be good at applying these. Problem One: I have large hands and nails, so none of the ready size nails fit my hands. And remember, I am picky so I want them to fit. You do too probably, so I think there aren’t many people that these will fit perfectly. Problem two: When I applied these to my fingers, there were some places that “stuck together”. I used a pattern (it was a cute denim look), so it was hard to see the imperfections. But my big trouble is that I know the flaws are there and it creeps me out. Remember, I admit to being hard to please in the nail department. I would never be able to use these with a solid color. If I find another deal on them and there are some great patterns available, I will be tempted to try them again. My problems with these Salon Effects are that I found them generally hard to apply to my satisfaction, they didn’t fit my hands, and the regular price is more than I am willing to pay for one manicure. On the other hand;) I thought that many of the patterns available looked great.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 8 people said helpful
