Happy 4th of July to all my USA peeps! I hope that you are all having a great time and enjoying the day with your family and friends. As for me, I decided to do absolutely nothing. Since I have to go to work tomorrow, I can’t really stay up late so I’m basically being a bum at home. I went out to dinner with my brothers and my sister-in-law last night so we got a chance to catch up and have some family time. I hadn’t seen my sil in a while and I can totally see her preggo belly now. Awww! I’m so excited about them having a baby. Although he isn’t due until November, I already find myself looking at little boy clothes and toys. I’m gonna be a kick-ass crazy aunt! Since I’m just laying low today, I’ve been playing with my polish storage stuff because I bought 2 more melmers last week. Can you believe I outgrew 3 melmers already? In order to get ready for the 4th of July, I decided to try out these awesome Incoco Love Liberty Nail Appliqués that I recently received for review. Let’s take a look at them:
This is the package of nail appliqués. It comes with 16 strips of various sizes so that you can find your perfect size. They also come with a file and a cuticle stick to help with application.
The instructions are very clear and I had absolutely no problem with application after reading these over.
This is the pack of appliqués. As you can tell, there are a lot of different sizes so you shouldn’t have any problem finding the best size for your nails.
These nail strips are pretty cool. They were super easy to apply, and I can see these being a busy girl’s best friend. Since my nails are pretty wide and curved, I think I underestimated the size I needed for each nail because the appliqués didn’t quite cover my whole nail on the sides–but it isn’t super noticeable. So far these are wearing really well especially since I’ve been doing dishes and other housework without any issues. One thing I do have to work on is making sure that I don’t damage the tips when I am filing the excess off. These are supposed to last for up to 14 days, but I don’t think I’ve ever worn a manicure for 14 days–4 days tops!
Overall, I’m quite pleased with these. The design is really cute and they have TONS of other designs to choose from. I would not really used the solid color appliqués because I can get that look easily with just nail polish, but I think that the intricate designs are totally worth it if you’re going to use them for a special occasion and plan to leave them on for a while. To check out all the available colors and designs, you can go to the Incoco website. To keep up with Incoco news, you can check them out here:

Have you tried any of these Incoco appliqués? What are your thoughts on the longevity of these? Thanks so much for stopping by today and once again, I hope you’re having a great 4th!
This is a cute design! These would be so fun to wear for special occasions if you wanted something quick and easy on the nails 🙂

I hear you about the four days! My polish always shows wear by day three. Don’t understand how so many people can say they get 7 to 10 days of wear…. I have used strips and gotten four days wear so I agree they are a nice alternative. As they say in Italian, enjoy your dolce far niente! That is an important concept in Italian living and one that I totally appreciate also.
These do look very easy! Cute design too 🙂 Hope you had a fabulous holiday!

These look so neat. Application looks flawless woman!
I love the design and I’m happy to hear application was easy. I do the same thing w strips- use too narrow of ones and end up w a little overexposure on the sides. Oh well, there are worse things. 😉 these were perfect for the 4th!

Yeah, why do we have to have all wide nail beds?! I guess I shouldn’t complain. I really liked these and they are so freaking easy to apply.
These are cute! I was just commenting on Frosso’s page with hers that I won a set of these a while back and never used them. I keep hearing good reviews so I might wear them this fall, they are black with a design. These are really cute though!

Oh yeah, these are great. You should definitely try them out because they wear like iron.
Must not click on Incoco link!
I’m glad that these worked out well for you. I’m also glad that you had a lil’ family get-together.
I’m kind of jealous that you get to be the insanely-doting auntie, hahaha. I definitely don’t even *think* about that possibility with my brother, but if the time ever comes, I will go NUTS buying stuff.
