Have you ever just finished polishing your nails and then got an itch
somewhere? What happens? You scratch and ruin all the hard work
you just did trying to get your nails looking pretty! There is a
certain amount of "drying time" needed to keep that polish you just applied,
looking as good as it should.
Then to add to your misery, you have to remove all that polish that you
just mucked up without messing the other hand that you didn't scratch
with!
Unless you have three arms, you know that this is just about impossible
to do!
No wonder so many women have given up on having nice looking nails,
or they pay the price to go to a nail salon and have someone do their nails
for them.
Now personally I have done that too! Paying someone to do your nails
for you is pricey! You have to be careful that the nail salon
you go to is clean, sanitized and not spreading diseases (fungus
especially). I have had more than one friend end up with an infection
in their fingernails because of less than perfect sanitary conditions in a
salon they used.
That is truly adding insult to injury!
Color Street Nail Strips to the rescue!
When you are the master of your own manicures, you don't have to worry
about the conditions of the salon! If you follow ReviewThisReviews.com, I know you have seen Margaret Schindel's
write ups on good nail health and the best tools to keep your nails looking
good (14 Secrets Grow Strong Healthy Beautiful Nails) and ( Best Manicure Tools Strong Healthy Nails). These are very important and if you have daughters, it's a great
way to teach them how to take care of their hands and nails. Good
health involves taking care of all your body parts! It's also a great
way to have some fun and spend some quality time with your girls! Make
it a Saturday or Sunday night date to have those hands and nails looking
lovely for the whole week to come!
Color Street Nail Strips are relatively new on the market. They are
NOT artificial nails that you paste on your own fingers, but rather they are
fully cured nail polish strips that you place right on your own
fingernails. What makes these nail polish strips so nice is that they
are dry immediately after application. No time is needed to dry the
polish before you can scratch your nose or ears or any other parts that
could itch. So no way to muck up the freshly applied color.
I have put these nail strips on my own fingers and after a few minutes,
washed and dried dishes and then gone for a swim!
Amazingly these nail strips stayed put, and lasted on my fingers for
over two weeks without peeling, cracking or chipping. They are
incredibly strong and beautiful!
Margaret also does some amazing manicures using Color Street Nail Strips
either in one set or sometimes mixing different sets to make something truly
unique and lovely. Just take a look at this manicure she did:
I love the combination of these three different sets of nail
strips.
Let me explain a little more about these
strips:
-
each set contains 16 real nail polish strips (sized for the average
nail beds)
-
each set comes with an alcohol pad to make sure your nails are oil free
pre application
-
a small emery board to help with removing the excess nail strip
This is what they look like when you receive them:
And this is what is inside each package:
When you open the package right up, you will find easy to follow
instructions on how to apply these strips to your own nails.
You can see for yourself that there are only 5 easy steps to applying these
nail strips to your fingernails. Once they are on, you don't have to
wait for anything to dry. You literally can get up and
go!
I know that this is one of the things my other half likes the best, no
waiting 10 to 15 minutes for nail polish to dry before you can do anything
else. Those critical minutes when all of your efforts can go up in
smoke! It just doesn't happen with Color Street!
The other part I love is that there are so many choices. I happen to
love glitter and Color Street offers 17 different glitter strips and 4 Prism
FX strips (holographic glitter). There is even a "Glitter Dipped"
overlay that makes your nails look like they are dripping with shiny sparks
of color.
But for my more tame days, I can choose from 30 different solid colors
too! Or two different French Manicures.
Special occasions, no problem, there are 14 different nail art designs (it
makes your nails look like someone did some fantastic paintings right there
on your fingers).
That is a lot of choices! Can you just imagine how many bottles of
polish you would need to have in order to have all these
choices?

A friend of mine loves mermaids, so there is even an overlay for her and 5
other overlays that change up a plain color to something amazing. The
combinations are endless. Use your imagination and creativity to
create something special that is yours and yours alone.
Here's to lovely hands and even prettier nails! Believe it or not,
little things like nice hands can make a
difference in how you feel about yourself and
how others perceive you! It's a little thing, but, it is
important to give that totally polished (no pun intended) and put
together look.

Amazing to see how many different looks you can achieve with these Color Street strips. It looks like the choices are endless. Thanks for the information, Olivia.
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome Pat, yes the choices make it possible to be a real artist with your own manicure designs!
DeleteThe Color Street Nail Strips look like a lot of fun to wear and so easy to use! I was never very good at the "waiting" game required for nail polish, so being able to move to the next thing as soon as the strips are applied is rather important. Plus, I love that they last for up to 2 weeks. That is a huge plus in my opinion. There really are some fabulous and beautiful colors & designs with Color Street.
ReplyDeleteMiss Mouse I could not believe it when the strips I put on lasted that long. Whenever I would "polish" my nails the old fashioned way, I was lucky if they weren't chipped after 2 days! It was not worth the trouble. Plus I would always muck up at least one nail. My husband hated having to help me undo that one that I mucked up. Now I don't need to bother him with this at all!
DeleteVery interesting review. Thanks Olivia.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Mary Beth. It really is an interesting and new way to get a nice manicure without spending BIG BUCKS!
DeleteThank you for all these wonderful tips on how to have lovely nails! I do not have great nails at the mo due to a lot of DIY projects going on, but I have a dream of beautiful nails one day. Love the Color Street strips, the colours and designs are lovely and how long they last is a real bonus.
ReplyDeleteI agree Jasmine. The long lasting effects of these Nail Strips really makes them a winner in my books!
DeleteOlivia, as you know, I am a huge fan of Color Street nail polish strips! Thanks so much for including one of my Color Street manicures in your post, as well as the links to my in-depth articles on the best nail care tools and how to grow long, strong, beautiful nails. I love the creative possibilities that Color Street nail polish strips provide, and designing manicures with different combinations of polish strips and overlays, as well as using decorative craft scissors and mini craft punches, has become a weekly hobby. Great introduction to this terrific line!
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret for your permission to use your beautiful manicure idea in my post. I appreciated your reviews on taking care of our nails and growing them as well. They are full of really good information for everyone. Even the men in our lives could sometimes use help with their nails, although not many would need the Nail Strips. Good information is always a bonus. So thank you too!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Olivia!
DeleteThese are fantastic - the sample you sent looks amazing on my daughter-in-laws hands - I love these - my fingers and hands are something I've never fussed with (not my best feature!) - but I'm truly considering giving them a try at some point - thanks for sample, awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that she enjoyed them. New moms need some love sometimes. Plus Barb, these are great gifts that would fit into an envelope or a Christmas stocking too!
