My Single Mom Life

I have really long nails, and I usually keep them bare because I suck at applying nail polish, and can't afford a manicure all the time.
My hands shake, I either apply too much and end up mucking it up, or apply too little and it looks splotchy.
I had been wanting to try those press on nail polish things.
They are real nail polish in strips, pre-cut to different sizes, and you just stick them on like stickers, but it is real nail polish.
They even smell like real nail polish.
It's very cool, but I admit I was totally skeptical.
Real nail polish already cut and you just stick them on and they last?
Riiiight.

So when I was at Walgreen's last night, I spotted the Incoco Dry Nail Appliqué was on sale.
Normally $7.99 per package, on sale for just $3.99.
I figured if they sucked, I wouldn't be out too much money.
So here's what all you get in the package and how it works.

You get an instruction card, a fingernail file with an abrasive, a soft, and a buffer side, a cuticle stick, a sample pack of other colors, 20 dry nail strips, a polish removal cloth, and a package to store the rest of your nail strips and seal with that gold tape so they don't dry out.
This is real nail polish. It will dry out if let out.

You then pick out a dry nail strip to match your nail size.

Then you remove the clear plastic cover and the backing paper, and place it on your nail starting at the base of the nail, and smoothing all the way to the tip.

Once applied and completely smooth, you bend the rest of it over the tip of your nail and run your finger downward to make it fold over your nail tip. Then with the file, you file in a downward motion to 'cut' the overhang off.
And ta da! You have gorgeous polished nails in a fraction of the time and cost.
I messed up and have a fold on my ring finger nail, but there are plenty of strips in the package, so I can just remove that one and do it again.
I have to finish all the rest of my nails anyway.

I am super impressed with these.
They were so easy to do, they didn't cost a lot, and the package says they will last up to 14 days.
I'll come back and let you know how they really held after 14 days, but so far, I think they rock!
