My Birthday Party Mani: Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Misbehaved and Bling It On

My birthday is this coming Tuesday (!!) and I'm having a little get-together at my apartment tonight! I've been running around all week like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get ready, so I finally took a beat yesterday and concentrated on making my nails look amazing. I decided to try out Sally Hansen Salon Effects for the first time, and I'm loving the results!

I chose Misbehaved (a gold and black latticework design that reminds me of my Minx experience) and Bling It On, a fabulous sparkly pink. As you can see, I made each hand different -- one is concentrated around the gold and black with just a hint of pink, the other is the opposite!

These strips were extremely easy to apply and I love that there are so many sizes. Each package comes with 16 strips, in addition to a cuticle stick, mini file and buffer -- and they really do have enough options to fit every single nail! The strips I've tried in the past are always too big to fit my pinky and too small to fit my thumb, but these were all, to quote Goldilocks, just right. Plus, application of all 10 nails took less than 10 minutes and there's no drying time involved, so I was able to go about my day immediately!

If you're looking for a fun way to change up your manicure in a flash, Salon Effects is definitely the way to go. I can't wait to show off my nails at my birthday party tonight!
