Question

Sally Hansen

How do these compare to the sally hansen nail strips?

answer 1

I have never used the sally hanson ones, but a friend did and said they were easier to use than the sephora ones. The sally hanson ones seem much thinner which is probably a better design quality.

These are NO comparison to the new Sally Hansen nail strips. Im on week two of those and these Chic Prints are just stickers. They feel more like car decals. Anyway, I have bought them twice, giving them two tries. Both times they lasted on day, if that. Total disappointment especially since there are some cute styles. Ill stick to the drug store.

They don't. While Sally Hansen's at least (claim to) last upwards of 10 days, Sephora's Chic Print for Nails tries to make "removes easily by rubbing and peeling off" sound like a plus.

I actually very much prefer SH nail strips to these. SH are more thin and easier to apply, they also last about 2 weeks.

I LOVE the Sally Hansen strips, but I was sort of getting sick of the patterns and bought these to try out some new designs. However, I will probably not buy these again because they are definitely not as wearable as the Sally Hansen ones. These strips are not very flexible and so they don't really fit the nail as well as the other ones.

I bought the star patterned ones and coulndn't find my polish remover so with all the excitement, i just applied them over the nail polish. I wouldn't recommend that. It didn't even last a day before it started peeling off. It was completely uneven also because the nail polish I had on was chipping off in the first place. It definitely wasn't the smartest idea I've ever had. Hahaha, hope that helped!

No, they are stickers so the top coat will just lay on top of the sticker.
Alcohol on the nails to make them dry works just fine

If you are looking for solid colors try the InCoco brand. Much better and more like real nail polish rather than these which look like a sticker.

Mine lasted 2 weeks. Here are the steps I took to keep them looking good:

-- I roughed up my nails with a nail file a little before applying. This gave the stickers something to hold onto.
-- I applied them with heat. I individually heated each decal with a hairdryer before applying. I started from the cuticle and stretched the hot decals onto my nails.
-- Don't use the glass file they suggest you use. DOESN'T WORK. You're better off with a normal file or a good crystal file.
-- After applied, file the nails a little past the edge of your nail. This makes them less likely to peel. As they peel, you can reheat them and file them down.
-- TAKE YOUR TIME! :)

I was able to get mine to last over a week by constantly applying a top coat to the edges that were peeling away from the nail. The peeling began within 24 hours of applying the patches.
