FEATURE: Sally Hansen Insta-Gel Strips

Posted on June 17, 2013May 16, 2015 by Elaine

There is so much going on with nail products these days it’s actually quite incredible! I will have a round up of all my recent discoveries in an upcoming post but at the moment I wanted to talk about the Sally Hansen Insta-Gel Strips.

Now I have been introduced to the regular nail strips that are kind of like stickers but call me late to the game, I just assumed the Sally Hansen ones were the same. But they are indeed gel polish strips that you apply on the nails easily (like a sticker!) but cure under a UV lamp exactly like gel polish! I have yet to try these out myself but this youtube video got me really intrigued:

I am going to admit something to you – I’m not a huge youtube watcher. Unless you are someone I know well or I am looking for something REALLY specific I’m likely not going to watch.  But this video from Sally Hansen actually kept my interest LOL! 
I really love how they go through the process step by step, it looks so easy! I usually do read the instructions on things but honestly step by step videos are so much easier to follow.  I didn’t even *think* to buff the shine off my nails before applying the strips. 
I do see some reviews on their site though about how the strips don’t seem to fit small nails. I think before I try these out I will do another youtube search to see if anyone found a way around this issue. If you’re not into the nail strips, Sally Hansen actually offers two ways to get a gel manicure. The more traditional way  is with gel polish. I have tried this method out (different brand) but there are more steps involved.

So what are your thought on the gel strips or the gel polish? Have you tried them? Any tips to share with me?

  • A moody day outside calls for some @givenchybeauty glamor! I’ve always been a fan of their Prisme Libre loose powder, and the newest addition to the Prisme Libre line is just as gorgeous. It delivers 24-hr matte finish, blurs imperfections, and contains skincare ingredients like capucine extract, annatto, and pink clay to purify and strengthen skin over time! Makeup with a side of skincare is a combo I can definitely get behind! Have you tried the Prisme Libre line from Givenchy? *products kindly gifted —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #torontopr #tbrcontributors #mytbrfave #givenchybeauty #luxurybeauty #foundation #skincaredaily #prismelibre #prismelibreskincaringmatte #skincaringmakeup #makeupessentials #makeupaddict #givenchycanada #magicdust

  • A quick reminder that Pride doesn’t stop after June. As I mentioned in my Pride post last year, I’m very aware of the privilege I hold as a White, cis, straight-passing queer woman. Celebrating Pride openly is not a risk to my safety. I can choose to whom I disclose my orientation and when. My identity is generally not seen as a threat or a negative thing. This is absolutely not the case for so many in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. ➡️ As companies move away from the “rainbow washing” of their branding for the month of June, please continue to
