I've been curious about these nail polish strips from Sally Hansen since they were released. Although I was a bit skeptical at first, I will say so far, so good.

The color I bought was 270 Raise the Glass. It's a beautiful shimmery champagne color.

It got a little messy, but nothing that can't be cleaned.

The results...

Not bad for the first try, right?

Pros:

- don't have to wait for the product to dry

- easier to use than I thought it would be

Cons:

- smells like nail polish (something I didn't expect, but I probably should have known)

Do I see myself buying anymore of these polish strips in the future? I'm not so sure. It's definitely less of a hassle to put on than nail polish, but I guess we'll see.

For those who have been keeping my family in your prayers and thoughts: Thank You. I really appreciate it. I lost my younger brother and although he is gone, he will never be forgotten. He was a loving son, brother, and friend. RIP, little brother.

On the nails:

• Essie Protein Base Coat
• OPI Teenage Dream
• OPI Black Shatter
• Essie Super Duper Top Coat

Honestly, I'm not liking it. I hate the fact that my nails feel so uneven!

I never paint my nails. Well, I do, but I only do it once every 3 to 4 months. I figured I would have more motivation to groom them if I started blogging about it.

So what do I have on my nails? Essie Barefoot & Topless. I have about 2-3 coats on.

I don't know how I feel about the color just yet. It doesn't seem like it goes so well with my skin tone...
