Thank you to our friends at Sally Beauty for sponsoring this post!

Yesterday I found myself doing something I don’t get to do often enough: window shopping. I had a few free hours, the beautiful fall sun was shining, and I just needed to get out. I found myself browsing my favorite furniture store (because who doesn’t love to dream?) and craving a change. And because I wasn’t ready to commit to a new couch, I ended up in Sally Beauty next door where I found a few perfect remedies for my itch.

This Sally Beauty haul will make you feel like a new person for only a few bucks. These goodies are a great way to change things up and try something fun without breaking the bank.

Sally Beauty Haul and Perfectly Manicured Nails under $10

If you know me, I’m a pretty low-key person who likes to have fun and do a lot of playing–volleyball, pickleball, playing with my kids, etc. I love the idea of regular manicures, but I’m just too busy to keep up with the appointments and I’m too rough on my nails to justify spending that much money monthly.

But I found two incredible DIY alternatives to a salon manicure at Sally Beauty that I am completely thrilled about! For under $10, you can get the same fresh manicure look that lasts weeks without the appointment or high price tag.

Dashing Diva Gloss Gel Nail Strips

You can find them at your local Sally Beauty store, or they have even more fun colors and prints online! Let me tell you, I am completely and totally smitten with these Dashing Diva gel nail strips. They are easy to apply, look great on, and are quite long-lasting. (I’ve had this set on for about two weeks now and they still look great.)

These are the Dashing Diva Cheetah-licious gel strips and for under $10 you get 32 nail strips that you can mix and match. It’s a GREAT manicure alternative to DIY at home.

Grab a few fun sets here (including new holiday sets!).

Dashing Diva Magic Press Nails

If you’re looking for a more polished, perfect manicure look, these Dashing Diva Magic Press nails are a smart option. I found these even easier than the gel strips to apply. They come with an adhesive strip on the back that you simply remove and stick on.

I will say the harder and longer you press them, the better they will stick. That being said, I had nails popping off quite often so I would definitely recommend pairing these with some nail glue.

These were the easiest to apply and they look great on! I especially loved these Pump Up the Jam deep fall colors in short nails (as I prefer shorter nails with how rough I tend to be on my hands).

Again, for under $10, the Dashing Diva press-ons are an excellent option for a quick, inexpensive manicure look for date night or a special occasion. See all the fun designs here. 

Other Sally Beauty haul items that are super fun:

Strawberry Leopard Hair Lightening Kit

Strawberry Leopard just hit my local Sally Beauty store and it looks like so much fun! I spotted this lightning kit for under $20! It’s a perfect way to highlight at home, especially if you have teens or tweens looking for a change.

Strawberry Leopard Semi-permanent Hair Color

After seeing the new Strawberry Leopard semi-permanent conditioning hair color, I immediately went to YouTube to see how people were using it. Oh my gosh, this stuff is so much fun! You can achieve the most gorgeous vibrant hair colors from pastel melts to ombre unicorn vibes.

This Made You Blush color for example, is Vegan, Cruelty-free, and Gluten-free and is infused with Vitamin B5 and Shea Butter to nourish your hair rather than damage it. Strawberry Leopard shades can last up to 8 weeks for a fun whim with no harm done. Genius!
