I have been using Incoco dry nail polish for about 6 months now.  I was first introduced to it at one of those Kiosk stands at a shopping mall in Las Vegas.  I had never seen anything like it as this was before dry nail polish had really gotten popular.

These nail strips are made of 100%  real nail polish which includes the base, color, and top coat.  One sheet of strips has 8 nail polish strips and each package comes with two sheets, one for each hand.   Each nail strip has a different size on each end, so that is a total of 16 sizes on each sheet. They are also very flexible, so you can gently stretch them to get a perfect fit.  This is something that I have found that other brands are lacking.  I tried the Sally Hansen brand and I found them thick and stiff and hard to work with.  I also don't think that they adhered to my nail as well as the ones by Incoco did.



Another thing I love are all the designs and colors that they had available. 


The variety ranges from opaque color, glitters, designs, and various french tips.  They also do special releases for holidays which I think can be really fun!


My favorite design is their French Manicure system.  I was quickly and easily able to do a PERFECT french manicure on myself.  The french manicure comes with two packages; one for the white tips and the second is the sheer nail color.  You can also mix and match the colors of your tips and nail bed.  The possibilities are really endless and only limited by your imagination.



Their website www.incoco.com provides video instructions in case you need some extra help.


Fortunately, each nail strip package comes with a little sample of a couple of strips that you can use for practice first.  I will say that it does take a little bit of practice to get good at this.  Another  important tip that I think people often skip is to gently buff your nails prior to application.  It is really important that you remove all oils from your nail, otherwise the strip will not properly adhere.

Once you open the package, you need to apply them right away.  They begin to dry once they come in contact with air and become stiffer and difficult to work with.

Another great thing about these is that they are not harmful to your nails.  They actually have tiny pores in them which allow your nails to breathe.....and YES, they are "three-free"!

I also love the fact that they have virtually no odor.  I've brought them when I travel and have given myself a manicure on the plane!

Let's see, what have I forgotten....
  • Removal....easy, with regular nail polish remover. 
  • Longevity....I'd say 4-5 days for someone who is really hard on her nails (me). 
  • Prices range between $5.99 (white tips only) to $10.99 for designs.  
The little package that the strips come in includes a nail polish remover pad, nail file, orange stick, instructions, samples for practice and a piece of silver tape which you can use to reseal the package to keep the left overs "fresh" (but I find that they get pretty dry even if you do reseal the package).

As you can tell, I'm really excited about this "dry" nail polish by Incoco.  And I prefer the Incoco brand over all of the others that have popped up here and there.  The only downside to Incoco, is that it is not readily available in stores, and you will probably need to order it online.

I'm the girl who scares the mailman when he brings my order, as I squeal with delight and scream, "Makeup, you're MINE!"

Have you tried dry nail polish yet?  What are your thoughts on it?
