Pink Polka Dots with Handpainted flowers


Sally Hansen Polka Dot Nail Stickers with Handpainted flowers



I know I swore in my last Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Sticker experiment click here to view this blogpost I swore not to use the nail stickers again since my nails apparently are an odd shape and none of them seem to quite fit my nails without leaving big gaps on the side. But I found this pattern on sale at Target for $2 this week so I couldn't resist trying it one more time. Last time I was stingy with the strips so that I could get a manicure and pedicure out of one box but this time I only did my nails so that I could use the biggest strips even if they were too big for my nail I just cleaned off the edge with a Q-tip and nail polish remover and it definitely worked better....but I did still have to patch two of my nails. (Sigh) oh well I wanted to add the art on top of them anyway. It's not my favorite manicure I have ever done but I think it's kind of bright and fun for summer. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for reading
