Spoilt by Sally

We’ve been really spoilt by Sally Hansen the last couple of weeks. Not only have we had their technicians come and treat us all to desk-side manicures (life sure is tough, but someone’s gotta do it, right?), but we’re also lucky enough to have Dana Caruso, Sally Hansen’s Global Beauty Expert, on hand (pardon the pun) to answer all our nail questions.

In fact, she’s in town all the way from the US right now and, as we speak, Liv and Carli are on their way to interview her! We’ve trawled through the forums and through your ‘ask us’ emails and have pulled out a few of your most frequently asked questions – so stay tuned for her interview as she’ll be answering questions such as….

 - What are the signs of a healthy/unhealthy nail?
 - Is wearing nail polish all the time bad for your nails??
 - What is the best way to prolong your nail colour?

…Just to mention a few!

And while we’re on the topic of Sally Hansen, after reading the reviews for the Sally Hansen 14-Day Nail Shields, I decided I had to put them to the test myself.

My fingers are quite small, so I was pre-prepared with a pair of nail scissors to cut some of the strips down to size. I found that if I took the time to do that before I began, when it finally came to applying the strips it was way easier. Another tip is to start at the very base of your nail, pushing out any air bubbles (they’ll only cause creases) as you smooth the strip towards the tip of your nail.

Personally, I prefer a bit of colour on my nails, but hey, since they’re already hard at work nourishing my nails, I might just leave them on and pop a bright colour over the top!
