Do you want dazzling nails without paying salon prices? Nail polish strips to the rescue
Nail polish strips are a great alternative to expensive salon manicures
Whoever invented nail strips is an absolute genius. Durable, fast-drying and aesthetically pleasing, this wondrous innovation allows you to have professional-looking nails without the scary salon price. Whether you prefer the one-tone look or fancy a more elaborate design, the strips are suitable for every occasion.
Admittedly, applying the strips can be difficult for first-timers. Initially, you’ll be too concerned about misaligning the nail strips to actually enjoy the process. It’s best to have a friend around to lend a hand if necessary. But rest assured, by the time you finish the first five digits you’ll be a pro.

Make sure you use all the strips once you’ve opened the package. The instant the strips are exposed to air, they lose their stickiness!
As soon as you get the hang of it, you can play around with nail pens and polish to build on the existing designs. To remove, just use regular nail polish remover.
