Let's talk about Nail Strips!

[centralsquare]

I CANNOT WITH THIS ELECTION.

Has anyone heard about Color Street nail strips? It's an MLM sweeping the country with "stylists"; apparently the product is great.

Well, they are the same company as Incoco, which sells for 2/3 of the price at Ulta. I ordered some, and I'm applying tonight to distract myself. 

Have you tried them? Or other nail strips? What do you think?

I've done Jamberry. I'm eh. Love that I can get patterns and cute stuff, but I didn't think they wore any better than regular polish, or were easier to apply.

[centralsquare]

Jamberry isn’t actual nail polish. This is!

I put them on tonight. I think there’s a bit of a learning curve, but overall it’s pretty easy and looks great! And not having to wait for them to dry is a huge win. I’ll see how long it lasts.

I used to wear Incoco all the time years ago. I actually just ordered some from Ulta but haven't used them yet. I remember them being really nice and lasting a long time.

I'm curious to see hear about how well these wear.

[secretlyevil]

Has anyone tried impress or kiss press on nails? They didn’t really last too long on me but everyone else I know who has tried them has gotten great results.

I have a set of strips to try. Application seems a bit challenging for me. Im terrible at this stuff.

I've used both Sally Hansen and Incoco. They were pretty good, but didn't last long. Don't take that as a negative on the product though. I'm very hard on my nails (both before invisalign and now during). The only thing that really lasts for me is gel.

It was a bit of a learning curve, and I think it will be faster/cleaner next time. But I’m pretty pleased with these! The pattern is intentionally a bit see through at the nail bed.

Ok the photos are kind of terrible. The metallic doesn’t photograph well. Sorry. They look cute in person!

I have used Sally Hansen, Incoco, and Jamberry strips in the past. I like Incoco the best. One of my friends is selling Color Street and I was debating it, but I'm glad to hear they're the same as Incoco so I will pass.

Jamberry strips work well for decorating my hearing aid because they're not nail polish. 😁

Ha! And I love that you decorate your hearing aid.

From what I’ve seen, Color Street has way more options for colors than Incoco. That might persuade me to order there occasionally if there’s a good promo (I’ve seen buy 3 get one free which makes it closer in price to Incoco.)

I dislike MLMs in general, but I really like the Color Street strips. The solids without glitter are definitely harder to apply and have a major learning curve, but I really like the glitter ones. They're really fast to apply and last at least a week for me, which is more than I can say for me trying to do my own polish. I also have short nails, so I can get two full manicures out of one set of strips.

Once you get the hang of applying them it goes pretty quickly. I can usually apply in less than 15-20 minutes and be on my way.

My mom bought the color street ones last year for the buy 3 get one free deal. I tried an ombré glitter one and really liked it. Regular nail polish lasts about 45 minutes on my nails before it chips and this lasted days. I’m going to get the ulta ones next time I place an order!

[jigsy]

I like to apply the Incoco glitter ombre ones over my painted nails...makes the nail polish last much longer and it has a pretty effect.

[centralsquare]

FYI, these are still going strong six days later! There are a couple small chips, but overall it’s 95% in tact. A regular mani would be taken off by now.

And we are doing paint samples right now for a few rooms, so that’s with a ton of extra hand washing/wear and tear.

Are there any nail strips available in store at Ulta? I really want to use some before Thanksgiving, but doubt they’ll arrive in time if it’s an online only item.

ETA: not sure why those links are there 🤷🏻‍♀️
