Off the Rack: Sally Hansen Salon Effects Halloween Collection


During a quick trip to Walgreens this afternoon, I spied 5 new limited-edition styles from Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips that are perfect for Halloween. There's Hot Wired, a slime green with black barbed-wire design; Wishnets, a blood red with black fishnet design; Ghoulie Girl, a black background with orange and white ghosts; Numbskull, a black and white skull-and-crossbones design; and Spun for You, a metallic silver with black spiderwebs. For about $10 a pop, these nail strips are just about the cheapest, easiest way to get in the holiday spirit or just accessorize your fall looks with something fun and edgy. I'll probably go back for Wishnets or Spun for You, which will look drop-dead gorgeous with a little black dress and red lipstick. Which style is your favorite?
