Incoco update 1 week on....

I have had Incoco on for a week now. 
The great news is they are still on! 


As you can see they have got tip wear and growth at the cuticle (obviously :P) 
I have not gone easy on these. I have had long baths, changed nappies and done the cleaning. All at the same time, LOL! 
I am very surprised that they are still on. Nail polish rarely lasts on me, unless its that pesky glitter!

Yes there is some wear etc but you would expect that from a regular polish. 
so all in all I love these. 
The application is fairly simple and I can see it getting better the more you do it. For me, they lasted fantastically. I'm really chuffed.

You can purchase these and LOADS of other designs HERE

What do you think? 
Would you wear these?

Incoco Nail Polish Strips Review


This is the beautiful package that came last week!


These are nail polish applique strips. In simple turns they are strips of REAL nail polish. Instead of the standard nail wrap which are usually made out of plastic this is made out of polish. Base, colour and topcoat all in one!

They are from an American company called Incoco, they have just turned on international shipping so they are now available in the UK YAY!

They come in full nail,tip and pedicure strips.They come in a very wide range of designs. 
What I can straight up is that I love that they have a massive range. They have plain colours and designs. Whats more they are all 3 free.

For this review I tried the Neon Yellow ones. I really love this design and I wouldn't be able to do this by hand.

In the package you get 16 strips. Upon opening you can smell that they kind of smell like musty old nail polish LOL but this fades are they go on etc. 
You also get detailed instructions on how to apply.

Incoco make a big deal on the package and on the instructions about keeping them sealed until you use them as the air dries them out. So I used what I needed too and then resealed the pack with sellotape :)


To apply you simply remove the top plastic coat of the individual nail you have selected. the remove the bottom silver part as both ends are shaped slightly differently. Select which end fits your nail best. Peel off then apply. 

It was a bit fiddly to begin with and I did mess up on the index finger. 

But look at how good they look!! 



Yes I messed up but for a first go I am really happy and you cant really notice it in real life.
They are very thin and not like conventional wraps really as i cant feel them lifting up at the free edge. 
They claim to last up to 14 days..... 

I will keep you all updated on how they last. I really dont expect to get 14 days as real nail polish only lasts about 2 days on me. 


You can buy these HERE and check out their Facebook for the latest news.

Floral Full Nail Water Decals

 
I bought a job lot of full nail water decals on EBay for the grand total of £3.99!
I had seen people using these on a few different You Tube Vids and i was really impressed with the results. Water Decals are also available as single images.
 
They remind me of the temporary tattoos i used to get out of bubble gum :)
 
They are actually really easy to use and only took me around 15 min to do one hand. The only problem i found was that the sizes were abit weird but its not hard to just re size them. The Decals are also thicker than i expected as i was worried they would break during application but no breakages!
 
To Apply;
Remove all packaging, Duh ;)
Size up decal to nail and trim if needed.
Submerge transfer in water
Life off of the paper, using tweezers helps
Place transfer on the nail and blot of excess water with kitchen roll (or something similar)
Apply Top coat
 
Handy little tip for application, i saw this on one you tube vid.....
Leave the edge of the wrap longer than required  (don't file off)
drag the top coat right to the end of the wrap
wait a couple seconds.....
the wrap will shrink backward and cap the free edge, for longer wear and a cleaner edge
some excess wrap that had shrunk back will need to be removed, i use a cocktail stick.
 
 I think i will use these in the future ALOT as i have had them on for 2 days already and they haven't chipped or anything!
Application was also smooth and there were no creases so in that respect they gave a smoother finish than the nail wraps i have previously tried. Everything gets better with practise though!
Have a nailtastic weekend guys!

Does Myleen Have Klass?

Time to try some nail wraps. Ive seen nail wraps for sale everywhere and there are so many different types and a few differnet types of application.
Myleen Klass nail wraps require no heat to apply and come in a pack of 24 for use on fingers and toes.
they were actually very easy to apply and looked lovely on, can you hear my suprise? :)
The only problem i had with them was that there wasnt ebough of the size i needed. There is a strip included so you can cut your own or you can trim one of the other wraps.
A nail file is also included.
The glitter also looks fab and the wraps are lovely and shiny
The next day they did start to come away at the free edge so maybe a topcoat run over the edge would help.
But all in all they would be fantastic for a night out and i applied them in 10 mins so a very fast application!
Good Job Myleen
