Sally Hansen: Salon Effects Nail Stickers Halloween edition!

JORD Wood Watch Giveaway!!!

Happy Halloween monkeys! I have a little something different for you today- Sally Hansen Salon Effects! These are all Halloween themed but they're different finishes. The haunted house scene is a great glow in the dark set (excited about this one!), the glitter set is really cute silver skulls on black glitter with a pink glitter bow (blurred for your glittery pleasure), and the foil set is super cute as well with lips and vampire fangs (love this!). The cool thing about the foil is that the black is super shiny too as a foil so it all shines and is eye catchy. The last set is the real lace and I didn't use those yet because they weren't strictly Halloween, so I'll post something fun with those soon. Overall very cute Halloween edition Salon effects and I had fun spreading the Halloween spirit with friends to try these out! 
They're super easy to do by the way: cleanse and dry your nail, peel the sticker off and apply, then trim down the decal and file off the excess. Add a top coat to seal it in if you'd like. They now come off with warm water and peel right up! Couldn't be easier!

Keep an eye out for Fall, Winter, Holiday themed ones as well!

Here's Camille's picture and what she had to say:

I'm really impressed!
At frist I wasn't sure about how it would look like, and the interest, as for a simple design like this one,
it takes as long as putting on a polish.
But it was really easy to apply (I can't say the same for my directory hand, shame on me!)
Really pleasant to put on.
It lets appear all the ridges on the nail! Forgives nothing!
It's so bright finally, I looooove it!
Too bad I put some too much down over my cuticles )=
In one word then, I love it!
A really great discovery!!
Thank you!!

Sally Hansen: Salon Effects

Hi everyone! Recently I got HD polishes and a bunch of Sally Hansen Salon Effects sent to me from Gabby from Sally Hansen's PR for review.  The HD polished will be throughout this week but today's post is of the Salon Effects.  So being someone who does nail stamping, I had never tried the salon effects strips.  I thought it would be helpful to say some of my preconceptions of them versus thoughts after I used them.

I thought they were similar to foils or decals that laid over the nail, but really they are ACTUAL nail polish that lays down/stretches/adheres to your nail.  It even smells like nail polish when you open the sealed pack they come in.  You can also take them right off with polish remover and in my opinion, the purple I did on my nails came off a lot easier than most regular polishes and definitely easier than glitter polishes.
