Nail polish strips, my new obsession!

I just tried out some Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips and all I have to say is wow!

These things are amazing!  I filed my nails, pushed back my cuticles, then cleaned my nails with polish remover.  You then peel the strip of patterned polish off the plastic backing and place it on your nail bed (it is sticky on the backside).  Smooth the strip over your nail with the mini orange stick, and then run a file along the edge of your nail to cut off the excess and voila!  Instant manicure with no smudges or drying time.  Perfect for busy moms who never have time to wait for their nails to dry.

I tried out the Skinny Jeans color which looks like little denim swatches on my nails.  Supposedly these last for 10 days without chipping and come off with nail polish remover like regular polish.  We will see how they last doing dishes, making bottles, and changing diapers.

They were a tad on the expensive side, but I have short nails and was able to use some of the strips for 2 nails, which should cut the cost of my home manicure in half.  The box cost around $9 and comes in many varieties:  such as lace, butterflies, leopard spots, multi-color and (gasp!) glitter.  Too bad CVS was out of the glitter when I was there shopping.  I hope these things work.  I may never get a mani again.
