I decided to use some more of my Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. I used the color Bling It On--a pink glitter. I took pictures under a fluorescent light, and in the sunlight. They are SO beautiful!

These strips came in a pack of a bunch of different kinds. I got them for Christmas 2013. They are actually a bit too old. They weren't as sticky and they should have been, so a couple are lifting up near my cuticles. They still look super pretty, though, so I don't mind too much.
I applied them over bare nails. I only used one package because my nails are short enough that I can cut each in half to get double the uses out of them. I used tiny scissors to trim the edges down so they could fit my tiny nails.

I went through the pack of different sized strips and figured out which would fit best on each nail. I threw out the extras in the package because once they're opened, they begin drying and cannot be used again. (You can always use them on your toenails if you don't want to waste them! I have done that before!) Once I applied a strip, I cut it in half and applied the rest to my nail on the opposite hand.

I then used the buffer side of the nail file that came with the strips and smoothed it over the strip on my nail to make sure it was securely attached. Then I pressed the buffing side of the file on the tip of my nail until the excess strip could easily and cleanly be removed.
I finished off with two coats of Sally Hansen Dries Instantly.
Look how pretty it is close up! I love these! It is hard to concentrate while driving because I just want to stare at them all the time!

When I want to take these off, I am going to use the foil method. I am sure these would be terrible to take off without soaking them at all. To do the tin foil method, take 10 squares of tin foil and then put a bit of cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover on each nail and wrap the foil over the tips of each of your fingers. Leave this on for 10 minutes, and then, when taking them off, pinch the nail and pull off the foil and cotton ball. This will remove almost all, if not all, of the polish. This is a great method to use on any glitter polish, or other hard-to-remove polishes!
