back from the dead INCOCO nail stickers!
hi all
I'm terribly sorry I haven't been keeping up with this little blog of mine. I could give you a million excuses, school,not giving a fuck , work, but honestly I've been busy and not really busy at the same time but haven't been feeling 100% to post. I WILL deliver nail polish on a daily basis from now on.
Today I want to talk about nail stickers by Incoco, you have to buy them online which is lame, but they are pretty much dupes to Sally Hansen nail stickers but more malleable. They move with ease, and applied really easy with just a nail file, I didn't need scissors at all, which is rare for my klutzy self. They also come in a zillion AWESOME designs, unlike anything anybody will ever see ever, so you will definitely get compliments about these babies. Here are some pics that I took of my lease favorite design, as you can see they are preetty bling.

Opi Black Shatter, vegan nail polish & more
So this will be a multi-polish review. The other day I FINALLY came across the full Katy Perry collection at Rays beauty supply NYC (tell them thedailymanicure sent you). So I picked up the OPI black shatter, Last Friday Night, Teenage Dream and The One That Got Away. So tonight I decided I would do a manicure with 5 different colors on my nails and black shatter over them. I chose the following:
Sally Hansen Quick dry- Silver sweep, a chrome-like silver fast drying polish. This color is awesome, high shine & chrome, and I only needed one coat.
OPI- Last Friday Night- sheer blue polish w silver chunky & micro glitter- I really love this color but I wish it wasn't so sheer, it comes off as very middle school to me, but I love this color the most with the black shatter.
OPI- Teenage dream- sheer pink polish w silver chunky and micro glitter - I like this color also, again I wish it wasn't so sheer. I would definitely use this over a pink or a sheer creme to give a better glitter effect.
OPI- Too hot pink to hold 'em- sheet hot pink w "sorbet" finish. This is from the texas collection by OPI. Which is a very over-looked collection. I've grown to really like the sorbet look, a manicure with this color is ideal for long summer days because it shines soo much. The sheer-ness needs some getting used to, but I missed this color when I took it off my whole manicure a few days back. So beautiful.
SpaRitual- Emerald City- Vegan nail polish! My boss bought it for me, who knew? I like the color, but it goes on very sheer and you need several coats to get it opaque, and on top of it the brush is small so it gets annoying and confusing to create proper coverage without it overlapping on you.
So I applied them to my nails and placed the Black shatter over them, and I have to be honest I'm almost disappointed in black shatter having used BarryM's nail effects. The nail effects are much clunkier and give more of both colors, where as this didn't, making all the nails look too similar. I'll try again and see if the effect is the same, maybe it was the way I applied the polish. Anyway, those are my thoughts on these polishes, enjoy.

Sally Hansen Nail stickers
So I bought those stickers that my friend got. They are called Sally Hansen nail effects, google it. Honestly, they have some pretty lame designs and some neon colors. BUT they last for about ten days, with very little peeling and chipping. The first full day I wore them I got three complements within like two hours, it was awesome. The few designs they have that are unique I highly recommend. They have a lace one, a checkered one, jean design, different sparkle designs and then like twenty neon colors and some butterfly design. Some of the designs I feel are meant for little girls, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I mean that they are ideal for girls because they don't fall off, aren't messy, and can be a great activity for girl bonding.
I am also including a Nailene sticker I bought months ago and was inspired to use. This design was really cool because it had hot pink and mirror effect all rolled into one, but it peeled off within one hour of application, so DON'T buy it if you see it. I highly recommend Sally Hansen vs. Sephora brand. But I will do another post with a Sephora sticker and I also have these stickers I got from Urban Outfitters, so I'll give you the info on them also.
A note on application: All of these brands only give out like 14-16 stickers, not enough for two manicures. If you have slightly stubby nails like I do, you can cut them in half carefully with a small nail scissors and try to squeeze two manicures out of them. Otherwise, if you have long lovely nails that I dream for at night, your SOL.
I put some photos of myself with my Sally Hansen Manicure, and a blurry ass pick of the weird manicure that I bought with some nailene kit that lasted five minutes. Enjoy

Shatter nail polish fiasco
So, you guys have seen the awesome Barry M black shatter top coat. It creates thick cracks and reveals the color you put underneath, and over all it is truely fun and looks good on most nails. OPI went ahead and made a dupe which was released this month for Serena Williams playing in the US Open and Katy Perry, the Serena Williams collection came with a shit green color, so I'm not really interested in that, however Katy Perry's collection was pretty awesome and the whoel digs and awesomeness on these two lines can be seen below.
http://www.refinery29.com/check-out-what-the-katy-perry-serena-williams-and-shatter-black-nail-polishes-look-like-on.php
Now, I couldn't wait for this to come out so I ordered two Barry M's from England, which were fairly cheap and exactly like the black shatter. And I've been peeking around recently to see if any of the NYC drugstores like Duane Reade, Rite Aid or even a Ricky's beauty supply might carry this, and they don't! I read on the OPI facebook page that there are some JCpennys that sell it, but a lot of girls have had altercations with the staff because those bitches went ahead and bought the nail polish before anyone else could. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I think that this product, because of its hype and its new-ness and all of that, should be sold on a grand scale, and its no wonder OPI was bought out or taken over.
Anyway, I have included some pictures of me and my friend Sachi doing our nails while our men played rock band and drank Four Loko. She should probably be a hand model and make lots of money doing that because her hands are really well put together and slender, plus her nails are very slender as well.
I'm also including photos of another product that another girlfriend of mine purchased with me. These Sally Hansen nail polish stickers. Now, there are TONS of products like these out there, Hello Kitty, Sephora, Glam, just to name a few, have created different nail stickers with the idea that you put them on, file them down and they should stay on for a bit. I have red mixed reviews about the Sephora ones, and my cheap ass definitely sampled a whole container of them when they left them out to be testers at a Sephora on the east side last year and they peeled off in a day and I was happy I didn't spend the heavy fourteen dollars on sixteen stickers. These Sally Hansen stickers however, which we bought at rite aid for nine dollars did not come off my friends nails for over a week, and we are both nannys, so we do a lot of cleaning and dish work in addition to being vomited on by children(part of the reason why I still give myself a daily manicure even though my lazy ass isn't blogging). So I highly recommend this product and when I finally start making the big bucks again I too shall go out and buy it and treasure them.
Now, apparently my coworker friend, (Gaby is her name) put on the Sally Hansen Chrome pen first, so she did put a polish down on top of these, as you can see from the pics, and it was really awesome. So I recommend playing with it, but you'll have to buy two because again they only give enough for 1 manicure, around 16 stickers.
(Just to clarify for these images, the one with the leopard design is the Sally Hansen stickers called Sally Hansen Nail effects, and the black on white is Barry M nail Effects, only available online at Barrym.com, but OPI black shatter is a dupe of this product but at the moment isn't available anywhere really.)
