New Dry Nail Polish Strips
JoJami-Was in the drug store the other day and saw a big display of a new “dry” nail polish, that you just peel and stick on. I thought, now that sounds too good to be true, but thought what the heck and grabbed a package.
Dry Nail Applique
It’s called Incoco, Dry Nail Applique. Available at your local Walgreen ($5.99)
I took it home and it sat on my counter for a few weeks, since I was hesitate to have to figure it out how to put the darn things on. However, last night I had a dinner to go to and didn’t want to fight the crowds to get a manicure, so I sat down with the package and dove in.
To me, it was like coloring your hair for the first time, with one of those home coloring kits. You read all the directions 10 times and then just do it. To make it easier, you can view the virtual demonstration here, but I didn’t bother.
I used the color “French Manicure” which, isn’t really a french manicure at all since the white part is not there, but just a very light pink color that goes on solid.
I found them relatively easy to apply (you literally just peel and stick the color on) and the result was really fantastic! It really does go on dry and so you can’t mess them up afterward.
They claim that they last up to 2 weeks, so I have a another 12 days to go for the final results. But I’m definitely impressed so far!
Its about time, somebody came up with a better way to paint your nails!
Hey T,
You can put clear polish on over the manicure. I do it all the time because I like the french manicure using only the tips. I don’t like putting the white-ish or pink=ish strip over the tips coz it dulls the white tip color. So I just put on fast dry clear over the tips and it lasts a good 10 – 14 days. I do wish they made the french with clear strips to go over…but they don’t yet.
Definitely agree with everyone that this is an AMAZING, awesome product! Only way to do a really professional looking french manicure! LOVE IT.
Hi T,
No you will not need too.. It already lasts a long time and it is already has a shiny look to it. It might dissolve the strip if you did, however you might try it and see what happens. It is my felling is that it works great the way it is and I have tried it!
Can you put a clear coat on top to make it last longer?
Hi Lora,
I have tried this and it is fantastic! My nails tend to chip a lot and I did find that these strips lasted a lot longer than polish and it is so easy put on!
Cheers!

Love, love, love this product. I’ve been using the French manicure now for over a year. No more trips to the salon, no more big bucks to do the manicure. This lasts nearly two weeks and a fraction of the cost. I love Incoco!
Actually the french manicure is a french manicure. It is 2 parts. The white is at the top of the sticker and you put that on first. Then you put the pinkish or white-ish covering over. I have it on right now and definitely a french manicure. It’s awesome.
Hi. This is really interesting post. Thank You! I have just subscribed to Your rss!
Best regards
I love Incoco’s stick-on-polish. It is very easy to use, looks great, and last well over ten days. This particular brand is much, much better than the Avon brand. Give it a try!
Great product !
I really like this dry polish!
I am making a gift basket of my favorite new things for my aunt and am including Incoco.
