Nail Appliqués have never been hotter but don’t be deceived as not all are created equal. The market is pretty saturated with so many different styles that is easy to be won over by a design only to have it start peeling off within 12 hours of putting them on.
I’ve tried quite a few brands so do you want to see which ones survived the scrutiny? Click after the jump!
I think we’ve reach a plateau when it comes to the nail appliqués/gel manicures. And now a product that seems to combine them both – SALLY HANSEN Insta-Gel Strips Starter Kit. It combines the quickness of the nail appliqué with the curing of the LED lamp. So how did it fare? Click after the jump to find out!
I have a hard time throwing out tweezers when they don’t work anymore. I just hold onto them hoping they will suddenly work but this doesn’t stop me from buying or acquiring more. My latest purchase is SALLY HANSEN Little Details Point-Tip Tweezers with Safety Cap.
When is a beauty product not about packaging? Packaging is always an important part of the beauty ... dance, so to speak, well at least for me. Celebrity makeup artist Carmindy (yes, she goes by one name like Cher) recently created the Natural Beauty Inspired by Carmindy line for SALLY HANSEN. It’s comprised of makeup products that are paraben-free and are infused with natural anti-antioxidants and botanicals. From blushes to eye shadow to our favorite, Truly Translucent Loose Powder ($12.99 @ ulta.com). Not only is the price totally workable but check out this application puff! It’s attached to the top and you just shake a little up from the bottom container and buff, buff onto the skin. I hope they use this kind of packaging in some of their other upcoming products. It’s totally fun!

We talked about these that maxed out the Shea and these five below max out the butter.
Raged, dry nails are not appealing and there’s not excuse for it. Keep them in tiptop shape with SALLY HANSEN Shea Butter Cuticle Balm ($5.99 @ walgreens.com).
Jojoba, Cocoa butter, Shea butter and Grape seed nourish and lock in moisture. Keep some in your car, desk and nightstand.
