My friend Leigh always has pretty nail polish, but my jaw dropped when I saw her glittery gold manicure. They're actually Sally Hansen nail strips, which you apply like stickers! So they never smudge and don't need drying time. Aren't they amazing?(Photo by Marvelous Kiddo)
I just started wearing these, and they are MAGICAL. I will never paint my nails again.
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty! Totally need to try those:) Thanks
ReplyDeletenicole, that is so good to know!!! i can't wait to try them!!!
ReplyDeletedid you see the DENIM color, too??? they look like dark-wash jeans. AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteomg, are these the strips too??!!!

I am right handed and can never manage to paint my right hand very nicely...this could be the perfect solution.
ReplyDeleteI've seen these before and they seem like an awesome idea but I've heard they rip your nails up when you try to take them off.
ReplyDeletewhat sticker polish, i need to get out more! i want!! so pretty, i think if these where my fingers i would just stare at them all day and not get anything done: )
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
Amazing! As someone who can't paint their nails without making a mess of it they'd be perfect for me :)
ReplyDeleteWow... What a cool idea!

no drying time?! count me in!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I have always been especially terrible at painting my own nails; this seems like a great solution!
ReplyDeleteThat's like the perfect shade of gold! How long do those stickers usually last once applied?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the future: We may not have flying cars but we have nail polish stickers. Best. invention. ever.
ReplyDeletegenius. i am always chipping my nails within 10 minutes of painting them. p.s. i want the denin!
ReplyDeletewow, i love those!! definitely need to try!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! I've been playing with them the last couple months and love how easy they are. I'm a makeup artist and constantly bang up my manicures, but they stay perfect for nearly 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteAs someone commented though, they do kind of tear up your nails upon removal. My nails are weak anyway though so I don't care. Plus I'm a picker, maybe they'd fare better removing with actual remover and not my method of peeling. :)
haha, katherine, well put. and they last 10 days.
ReplyDeleteoh, yes, morgan and anna, i've heard that if you remove them with nail polish remover, your nails are fine! xo
ReplyDeleteI wish they had something like this for a french manicure. Sally Hansen's french kit is anything but easy. I successfully painted one pinky!
ReplyDeleteThese things are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love that little dose of sparkle!
ReplyDeleteOh my God!! Genius. I had no idea there were nail stickers. On a mission, now, to get some TODAY! :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard about these but haven't had chance to try them out yet. They look so pretty! Will have to give them a go....

I saw a girl wearing theh oundstooth patterned ones the other day. They looked really cute! She said they last as long as a manicure usually does, too.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds soooo much better than 12 coats of sparkle polish to get the same look.
ReplyDeleteAnd let me tell you, your nails will not be happy after 12 coats of polish. :/
i have used these , ireally love them. the only complaint is if you have leftovers in the box, they lose their stickiness! and they are $10 a box, so it is basically like buying a maincure! they look fab though

Love the gold! I did a review of the multicolored glitter ones I applied here if you'd like to check it out: http://elizabethscake.blogspot.com/2011/03/sally-hansen-nail-polish-strips.html
ReplyDeleteEEEK! I read about these nail stickers this past week, I've been debating whether I should get them or not. After reading this post/a few comments, I'm definitely purchasing them asap! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteKatie
I used the glitter ones, and removing them (with polish remover) was incredibly hard. It stripped the pigment from the glitter and I had to really work to get the glitter off -sort of like how its hard to get regular glitter polish off, but I think it was even harder. I gave up after awhile and started peeling it off by hand.
ReplyDeletethey are great for when you need an instant manicure with no drying and dont care about the removal process...
Love the glitter ! I used to use the ones by avon years ago !! I will have to try the ones by Sally now !
ReplyDeletegood to know, thea, thank you!! i love the flower ones and the leopard print ones, so fun.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those are gorgeous! I'm obsessed! The last time I had a manicure I had some fabulous opi sparkly polish painted on as a top coat. I was in love with it, but eventually, like all great manicures it had to come off... Perhaps these nail strips are in my future! Ooh, I love them!
ReplyDeleteMuffinLovesBiscuit
I adore these, I use them all the time at work, It means I can give an actress or model the perfect manicure and they can get straight into costume or go onset with no worries of smudges or stains on clothes, I wish I had thought of them!
ReplyDeleteI would have never guessed it!
ReplyDeleteHow much does something like this run???
Does the glitter rub off any?
I will like to have something like this done for my Cinco de Mayo party :)
Best Wishes!

ReplyDeleteawesome! I need some glamor on my nails.
ReplyDeleteI just used the color sparkle salley hansen stickers and I LOVED THEM. but getting them off is a pain in the ass, I had to soak my fingers in nail polish remover to get them off and I still have random sparkles that won't come off.
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteso gorgeous! and no smudge! and no pain in the bum when trying to remove the last few sparkles off the nails!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I've seen others create a similar effect using gold filigree and clear nail polish! This might be an easier way.
ReplyDeleteI currently have "kitty kitty" (the leopard ones) on my nails, and they are the best. One week and still going strong, so many compliments, and they make me happy every time I look down at them :)
ReplyDeleteI am a massive klutz and always end up smudging or denting my nails... much to the dismay of my mom who was once a nail tech. These are amazing! Who would have thought that stickers could look so good. I will definitely have to try them out!
ReplyDeletehttp://rayinthewindycity.blogspot.com
I don't think we have these in UK
ReplyDelete:(
How cool! Did you see they have a skinny jeans one?! Will have to try this out today!!
ReplyDeleteLove! I must try them myself!

ReplyDeleteWow! I need some! How well do they stay on though, compared to nail polish?

I have these sally hanson nail stickers on my toes right now! The ones for nails are big enough to fit my toe nails. They are super cute and I have received several complements on them! Sally's are much easier to use than the OPI ones at sephora...
ReplyDeletei got the frock star and they have been perfect for days! no chips at all (see photo link below), they are truly amazing. And everyone love the rainbow glitter, especially me!

oh yes! here's a photo of the frock star -- so awesome!!!

I never liked gold for some reason but lately I've started to wear gold jewellery. These nails are stunning and the whole nail strip idea sounds like salvation for a klutz like me :)
ReplyDeleteIt seems like they would be especially perfect for a glittery look--since glitter polish can be so stinking hard to get off your nails. Thanks for sharing--I was wondering how they actually looked ON.
ReplyDeleteLove those nail stickers! Stop by my blog for an awesome Augousti box giveaway.. :)

I've been contemplating these...not sure I have the steady hands for them, but I'll give it a whirl. The Gold is AWESOME. Xo Valerie
ReplyDeletewww.imstarvin.blogspot.com
I just bought a pack of the champagne color! The kit has been sitting on my counter, but you have motivated me to try them out!
ReplyDeleteGAH! How have I never heard of these before?!
ReplyDeleteI love having painted nails, but mine usually chip after one day! Going to Target tonight to pick some up...
I have been wanting to try these for so long!
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing these around, and I love the idea! I think I may have to try them out. Soo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI just started seeing these everywhere, recently! I bought the blue glitter but I haven't used them yet. Almost broke down and bought they lacy black and the denim. but our company just put out a new "no bright nails" policy
ReplyDeletetotally rained on my polish parade! :(
no way jose! are they expensive?
ReplyDeleteso glad you posted this! I love glittery nail polish like this, but it takes SO long to remove. I had seen those strips but wondered how legit they were? Now I know it can work :)
ReplyDeleteI just took these off my nails and LOVED them. I seriously got compliments everywhere! I would also recommend putting clear polish over them, as if you don't they tend to peel up.
ReplyDeleteBecca
I just posted this on my blog today. They are the best invention ever...esp. for moms. I've gotten more compliments! $10 baby!
ReplyDeleteI did a review on these on my blog! They're great. :)

I agree. These are rather fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI will have to try these out! I hate how my nail polish always smudges when I put it on, because I am too impatient to wait for it to dry!
ReplyDeleteI have gold nail polish like this too, but it doesn't go on as beautifully as this...thanks for the tip!
Smart!!
ReplyDeletehttp://soyfrivolita.blogspot.com/
I hate seeing pretty nail polish! As an athlete, I can never keep color without it chipping. I'm so jealous of the people who get to where this sparkly goodness!
ReplyDeletetsuki, i love the denim. you'll have to wear it on weekends:) and angel, i bet you could wear these without chipping!!
ReplyDeletei've been seeing these around on other blogs too... i'm dying to try them! but i live in spain right now and there's no such thing as sally hansen here. anyone know how they compare to the sephora brand stickers?
ReplyDeletehttp://nomadic-d.blogspot.com/
I've been using those nail strips for a couple months now. I'm completely addicted.
ReplyDeleteI love the glitter, even the rainbow glitter one :) It ends up being cheaper than a manicure & last longer. love.
Those are pretty fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I'm getting some asap.
ReplyDeleteamazing! i need these for my toes with the sandal weather on its way! thanks so much for sharing this :))
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting, I will definitely have to go in search of this! =)
ReplyDeleteyes, spearmint baby, way cheaper than a pedicure!!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of these but have not seen them on until now! Definitely adding them to my shopping list!
ReplyDeleteI have seen those but never tried them ! Now I will have to try...they are so cute.

I recently painted my nails that wonderful glittery gold...it took me for.ev.er. I wish I had known about these wonderful things!
ReplyDeleteHaha, these are all the rage in my office right now. I love the leopard ones and have you seen the zebra ones? They are soooo cute -- I might have to get some for myself.
ReplyDeleteI just used the leopard print one and every time I look down at them they make me so happy. Next I think I'm going to try the bright colorful flowery one!
ReplyDeleteThat nail color is beautiful. I love that its gold and sparkly.

LOVE those Sally Hansen nail strips!!! Love them :))
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try these! I was just complaining today about how much I hate having to take my nail polish off and it doesn't last long enough,...blah, blah. This sounds much easier!
ReplyDeleteI just put on the "misbehaved" ones and i am IN LOVE. they look so perfect, I hope they last! Not to overstate these but I think they just changed the life of my nails forever!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Minx metal ones are even cooler
ReplyDeletethis is so cool! I have never heard of them...I've gotta check em out! thanks Joanne!
ReplyDeleteMy sister bought these in leopard print and loved them. They said on perfectly for over 2 weeks!
ReplyDeletemy friend sent me these exact nail stickers! they lasted me about a week and a couple days, which is good, the sparkly, shiny gold got so many compliments too! they were fun.....i would try another color!!

that's the kind of manicure i need!
ReplyDeletea tip to get any glitter nail polish off is to cut squares of felt, soak in nail polish remover and remove polish. it works better than cotton balls!
ReplyDeleteand love the strips, but they still chip like reg nail polish (i'm constantly using my hands), but if you put a topcoat on every other day, you're gold.
http://mylifeinbeauty.com/2011/01/19/polish-strips/
Sparkles, I can't wait to get some gold bling on my fingers.
ReplyDeleteMy friend and I spotted this girl with leopard print nails at a salon, and she said they were these SH strips! They looked so cool, and I have been meaning to try them out. I think I will now. I <3 the gold sparkles!
ReplyDeletei have tried the pink sparkly ones and they are pretty great! they peeled my nails a lot though when it was time to take them off :( and rumor has it the solid colors suck, they apparently stick to any/every ridge you have in your nails and look bad :( they also chip faster than the ones with design/sparkles in them
ReplyDeleteA girl I work with was wearing these the same day you posted about them- they're AMAZZZZING. I'm totally trying them this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe ones from Inque Nails also get awesome reviews - I'm dying to try those, too!
ReplyDeleteWow, this nail polish is great for my bridal shower. Is there one in silver?
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm so obsessed with flitter (my nails are currently pink glitter) but it's such a hassle to reapply coats and hope it dries before I smudge it. I will definitely try these!
