Incoco Nail Polish Strips Review + Mini-tutorial




Hey guys!


I hope your week is going well so far. In this week's product review, I unexpectedly strayed away from makeup and instead chose to talk about my recent nail product obsession.  

If you are like me who loves nail polishes but is impatient to wait for drying time. Or probably disappointed about the lasting power of your nail polishes but don't want to risk damaging your nails by using gel polishes. Then, read ahead coz you'll thank me later. :) 


Let me introduce you guys to Incoco Nail Polish Strips. They aren't nail stickers (although the concept is similar), they are made of real top coat, nail color, and base coat. You can tell it from the smell itself and just like your bottled nail polishes you should store any unused strips in an airtight bag to keep them at their best. 

The photo below pretty much sums up everything: the features, application steps, how to store unused strips and how to remove it.

The nail strips come in various designs - french tips, plain colors, stripes, floral, metallic, glitters and also pedicure sizes. Name it they have it! For your $10 you can have an effect of a nail art from a professional nail artist. When I was at there store, I seriously had hard time picking because they all just look gorgeous. The photo below shows you a few of the awesome designs they have. 
Now, let me sum up the pros and cons I found out about this product.
Pros:
  • Variety of designs to choose from
  • Easy to apply
  • Lasts for about 14 days (big plus!)
  • No drying time required
  • Doesn't chip off
  • Easy to remove (just with your regular nail polish remover)
  • Doesn't contain harmful chemicals that can potentially damage your nails
  • Reasonable price (compared to having nail arts done in a nail shop)
Cons:
  • Pungent nail polish smell (I don't mind it but others might find it strong.)
  • Storage of the excess nail strips (needs extra caution and checking if its airtight close)
Where to buy?
The easiest way to shop for this is online through their website. If you are in Korea, you may check out their webpage at http://www.incocokorea.com/or you can physically visit their stores located at Coex Mall (Gangnam), Noon Square (Myeongdong) and Lotte Fittin (Dongdaemun). 

Tip: If you are unsure about this nail strips, you can visit their store and ask for a free test. They can apply it to one of your fingers. Also their store at Coex Mall, have staff who can apply them for you for an extra 5,000 won ($5). However, other places don't have it.


If you are outside of Korea,  go to http://www.incoco.com/or search Incoco in your respective countries (Google is your friend!).


There are also sites where you can find monthly coupons. Try http://www.goodsearch.com/incoco/coupons or simply search for coupons online. 


There you go, dolls. You may also check out my YouTube video below where I talked about this product and did a mini-tutorial on how I apply this.
