Great product! They could probably spend a little more effort on the instructions for using these, because if you are using them for the first time, especially the french tip variety, it can be confusing!
For the French tips, I paint a base coat first because it helps the strips last longer on the nail. Then apply the tip, then I use my own clear coat to paint over the tips (maybe better to use what comes with it, but for me its just easier to paint my own top coat). Since the strips are actually partly dried nail polish, regular paint adheres perfectly and the tip and topcoat will cure together. The Incoco products are NOT STICKERS. Once the product cures, it is just like nail polish and can be removed with acetone just like any other nail polish.
It can be tricky if youve never used the tips before. It helps to remember that the little silver strips are what you hold the nail polish strip by when you place it on your finger... and with the french tips, each strip contains TWO tips and two grey strips for handling. You have to pull them off the paper backing carefully, and one at a time. Peel up and then hold the grey strip of one while you pull the strip away from the other grey strip on the other tip.
Once you get the hang of how to use them, you will love them. They last a long time and mine last about 3 weeks because I use them over my acrylic nails I get from the nail salon.
I used to really love Incoco products but they have gotten really skimpy on the length of the product that they give you. If you like to keep your nails longer than 1/4" long, these tips wont work all that well for you.
I wish they made them longer, like 1/2 to 3/4 inch long. Id buy and use them a lot more then, because otherwise these strips are pretty awesome... thats the only reason Im not giving 5 stars... TOO SHORT!I love the colors, For me they didn't stay on the full 14 days but about a week which is pretty good too, I wear it under my gel polishes...
