The Fancy Side

I've mentioned before that sometimes I want pretty nails, but I don't have the time or patience to wait for polish to dry. That's why polish strips come in handy. They aren't for everyday use, but man, sometimes you just need them. I first showed you these on Facebook , so be sure to like my page for inside scoops. 

I got these Kiss Nail Dress strips in my May Nail Art Society delivery. There are 28 strips in each pack, so more than enough for 2 manicures plus some accent nails as well. 

The strips consist of neon green, neon yellow, neon pink, and neon orange backgrounds, filled with the other three colors in dots of all shapes and sizes. Application is easy and quick. I didn't experience any wrinkles with these when applying them and when I was done, I soaked my hand in warm water, then peeled them off with tweezers. I wore these close to 4 days and didn't experience any problems. 

What do you think of obnoxious neon nails? Do you like polish strips?

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Sometimes you need to do a manicure that is fun but takes no time. Such was my life over the weekend. Part of my job is planning a spring festival and it was this last Saturday. I needed something that would hold up through everything that I could throw at it and I wanted it fast. 

I've had these Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips in my melmer forever. I picked them up on sale at Target quite some time ago, thinking someday I will try them. Someday is here. 

Application of these strips was easy and pretty straight forward. They give you 8 different sizes x 2, so 16 strips total. I figured out very quickly that I could get 2 nails out of each polish strip, so over all I'll get two manicures out of the one box, which makes it really nice in my opinion. If you have longer nails, that may not work as well for you. 

Removal of these were easy. They took some time, but removed easily and very cleanly with regular nail polish remover and cotton balls. I don't know that I will buy these all the time, but for a quick easy manicure they are a good thing to have around. 

Funnily enough, I've got a reputation for painting crazy things on my fingers, so when people found out these were strips they were disappointed I didn't do them myself. :-) 

Have you tried the polish strips? What did you think?

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
