Sally Hansen Salon Effects strips

I recently decided to give the Sally Hansen Salon Effects strips a try. I'd had my eye on the "Love Letter" ones for a while and finally caved when the local drugstore had them on sale. I've never tried using strips on my nails before and I have to say that applying them was a lot harder than I thought. As a result I was not really all that pleased with the way they came out and took them off almost immediately - not sure if the pictures really show how bad they looked, but it was not pretty. I am honestly not sure if it was the strips, if my nails are "weird" or if I'm just really bad at applying them, but they are pretty expensive here, so I didn't really feel like getting another set to find out. Essie just came out with their own strips and they have a very similar set with the writing on them and I have purchased those to try out at some point...hopefully with a prettier outcome :)

Stylenomics by Essie

Stylenomics is from Essie's limited edition autumn collection and I am totally in love with it :) It is a dark dark green, so dark that almost comes off black, the picture doesn't do it justice at all. This is such an amazing colour, really deep and just perfect for autumn. One coat is enough and the green comes through better with just the one coat, however I did do two coats which make the colour more deep and dark. I am still undecided about the bigger brush that it comes with, I am not sure if I like it or not. I will have to try it a few more times to make up my mind. None of the other colours in the collection really caught my eye, except for maybe Skirting the Issue which is a dark red. But for now I am just loving my Stylenomics.
