Sally Hansen Hard As Nails French Manicure Set - Sheer Opal - 3 ct

This product is true to color and works great. The white is very thick so that you only need one coat. The Top coat helped to keep my nails from chipping and also gave it a lovely shine and thickness that made it look like I had gotten my nails done at a salon. I love it! I wish the pink was not so shiny, I was hoping to have a more clear color, however, the quality is great and the shininess is actually starting to grow on me.When I first received this product, I received it completely shattered. It smelled strong of nail polish and the glass was broken all over inside of it. I was extremely disappointed. The company did not properly package it the first time, it was literally just in the box. After I explained what happened, they quickly sent me a new one free of charge and this time it was slightly more insulated and did not break. I really appreciate that they took the time to solve the problem in a timely manner and I love this product!

I've now tried this product a few times, but no matter how long I let the nails dry, how many coats I use, how careful I am to press down on the adhesive tip strips, I end up with nails that look like a 7 year old did them. Sloppy, quickly chipping and inconsistent.The white tip paint does not go on smoothly or evenly; the stickers, no matter how hard I pressed down on them, allow the white to run. The final coat goes on streaky, leaving lines and areas of heavy mixed with patches of lighter see-through polish.All resulting in nails that definitely do not look like I went to the salon. Unfortunately, Amazon does not allow the return of "hazardous" liquids. The only hazard is my nails.

The sheer french color does not have much color to it. It looks milky, but it's actually very transparent. When you apply it, there are tons of sparkles and a slight metallic pink color after it dries. I was looking for more of a natural peachy pink color, so the sheer color wasn't ideal for me. The french white tip polish was very runny, but it wasn't too hard to work with. What really helped were the stickers, especially when I was painting my left hand. I have read reviews where people complained about the polish bleeding under the stickers, but that just means that they did not apply it correctly. The trick is to press down hard on the stickers to ensure that the paint does not move under it. The directions said to wait for the paint to completely dry before removing the stickers, but what I did was right after I finished painting them, I quickly and carefully removed the sticker and then allowed the polish to dry. I found that the lines were cleaner like that. The top coat was pretty good and dried pretty fast. I gave this item three stars because I didn't like the sheer color and there are better white polishes out there. It's a good thing the stickers came with this or else the white polish would have been extremely difficult to deal with.

I have gave myself a French manicure two weeks ago and it is still going strong. Word of advice, be sure that your nails are absolutely clean. I swabbed mine with a cotton ball dabbed in rubbing alcohol to be sure there was no soap/lotion/etc. residue. When you put the strips on, attach from one side and gently stretch it to the other side of the nail, and really push down on the strip so it is completely adhered, this will keep the white polish from seeping under the strip. I put two thin coats of the white on, allowing each to dry thoroughly. I did not use the nude color, just the clear as my natural nails are pretty pink. The only other thing I did was use "Pink Armor" as the final top coat. I couldn't be more pleased.

**Note: picture is from a week after applying polish **I think this product is good for what it is, a cheap, convenient way to stock up on all your French tip needs, but what were you expecting from a 5 dollars (when I bought it, 7 dollars at the time of the review) set that includes a clear coat, white, and pink polishes, and a bunch of those stickers?I personally decided not to use the stickers and instead opt for a French tip nail brush, so I'm not sure how the stickers would work out, but the polishes were pretty much what I was expecting. As you may have read in the other reviews, there is a slight metallic sparkle in the pink polish, but it really isn't noticeable unless you take a close look. I ended up putting two layers of the white on (they usually do this in nail salons too) , so it would look even and would completely be white.Minus one star since the brushes were a bit long, so it was a little difficult to apply. In the future I might just cut those down, so it's not really a big deal. Also the polish was a little thick for my liking, but nothing a little acetone couldn't fix.Make sure to wait a couple of minutes in between each application: first white layer, second white layer, pink, and top coat. Otherwise you might end up tinting the white with your pink and then you just wasted all your time.All in all, this product worked out really well and was super convenient to get all the polishes in a single kit. Typically it would cost me around 20 dollars for a French tip pedicure, so it has already paid itself off!

It was easy to paint my nails using this kit and my nails looked very nice after I painted them. However after just one day the white polish had peeled off. As soon as you do anything with your hands it starts to peel. I tried to add an additional clear top coat but it still peeled off. Just to be completely fair, my nails tend to be very soft and flexible.

This nail kit made a French manicure very easy to do and the results were amazing. People thought I had gotten my nails done at a salon. The polish dries quickly as well. I had it on for a week and a half before I saw any real chipping whereas other nail polishes would chip the next day. I found it best to start with the sheer polish, let it dry and apply the white tip, and then one coat of the clear polish followed by a second coat once the first one dries. Amazing product.

Look how the clear coat is yellowed and the nude pink is an orange beige. Clearly selling old expired products and no refunds allowed!

Nude colour is murky- patchy looking. Took a long time to dry.

It is very good product but I have 2 drawbacks for giving only 41.I ordered it on 7th April and I received it on 27th April too much time2. I didn't got a nail guide

I did not order the French manicure and it arrived broken so was doubly annoying!
