Most at-home nail art either chips quickly or demands salon-level skill. Sally Hansen Salon Neon 22 Appliques give you bold, neon-inspired designs in a simple, stick-on format that looks polished yet takes just minutes to apply.

Each applique is made from a thin, flexible nail film designed to adhere securely to clean, dry nails. The material is engineered to respond to gentle pressure and filing, so it moulds to the nail surface and seals neatly at the free edge when used with a clear top coat.

The appliqués feel lightweight on the nail, with a smooth, even surface once pressed down and sealed. When paired with a quality top coat, they are formulated to provide chip-resistant wear for days, maintaining their neon intensity and glossy finish without smudging.

Application is straightforward: select the closest size, apply to bare nails, press firmly and file off the excess. For longest wear, seal edges carefully with top coat and avoid prolonged hot water exposure directly after application.

Thin, flexible film helps the strips contour closely around the nail curve for a more professional look.Pre-shaped sizes reduce trimming and guesswork, saving time on both hands and feet.Dry, ready-made finish means no risk of smearing, denting or dragging wet polish.Designed to pair with top coat for enhanced shine, protection and chip resistance.

Use over a strengthening base coat if desired, then lock in the appliqués with a Sally Hansen top coat for extra durability. They also complement Sally Hansen nail care treatments by adding statement nail art once nails are prepped and conditioned.

For quick, long-wearing neon nail art without salon visits, these appliqués deliver bold impact with fuss-free application.

-

• Step 1. Start with clean, dry nails; remove any polish and wipe nails with remover to eliminate oils.
• Step 2. Select the applique size that best matches each nail, and gently peel it from the backing.
• Step 3. Position the rounded end at the cuticle, then press the applique down the centre of the nail and out towards the sides.
• Step 4. Smooth firmly, paying special attention to edges and tip, then fold the excess over the nail edge.
• Step 5. File downward along the free edge with a fine nail file to remove the extra strip cleanly.
• Step 6. Finish with one to two thin layers of clear top coat, sealing the tip and edges for longer wear.

Pro Tips

• Push back cuticles and lightly buff the nail surface before application to help the appliqués adhere more evenly.
• Warm the strips slightly between your fingers to increase flexibility, especially for more curved nails.
• Avoid water and steam for at least one hour after application to allow adhesion to stabilise.
• Cap the free edge with top coat every few days to maintain shine and prolong chip-resistant wear.
