Two days ago, my aunt and I went to CVS to get some nail polish and the Salon Express. I was a bit weary to spend $10 on something that might not work, we all know how those "As Seen on TV" products work, you buy it, use it once, and it's not as good as advertised. So I looked at reviews of the Salon Express, and most seemed positive so I gave it a chance, and I LOVE IT. I'm a huge nail fanatic, I love doing my own nails and other people's. Example of my aunt's nails I did is below. They are pink and zebra stripes. I'm not that bad for not having the proper brushes and polishes. So, as I said in my last post my sister Lisa, and my niece Miriam are visiting for the weekend. Since Miriam is the ultimate girly-girl, we had to do nails! She went nuts over the Salon Express! Its well designed with a two sided stamp, a small side (for little nails and precise placement) and the larger stamp (for full nail designs). The only downside I have found is the scraper tool actually scrapes the design plates (a old gift card works way better). Also, the nail polish you apply to the plates needs to be thick (I use the Art Deco brand from Dollar General). The kit comes with 5 design plates with such cute designs for all ages. Over all, I would give the Salon Express a 8 of 10 because sometimes it doesn't pick up the whole pattern, but it's even easy to do with your non-dominant hand, which is almost everyone's problem when painting nails. It's totally worth the $10 you spend! So go and be proud that you can get such chic nails at home and cheaper than the salon by far!
