My Best Friend is a Droid (with orly iron butterfly)

I'd like to introduce you to my new best friend (sorry Erla!) He won Time magazine's Gadget of the Year award.

I finally got a new cell phone. It is a magical contraption. The Motorola Droid uses the Google Android platform. (the little droid is the Android logo) The things this puppy can do.... google voice search, scan barcodes, dvd quality video. I'm in love! I'm basically a PC girl. Finally, there is a phone that can step in the ring with the Iphone! No matter which phone wins the championship belt...

I Heart My Droid.

Wait a minute. I should have blogged from it! Next time?

Side note: The incoco was really easy to take off? I used pure acetone. I bet it would have lasted forever. I'm just too impatient! :)

The base color is Orly Iron Butterfly from the Metal Chic collection. The "I" is a chrome silver color by Stargazer. The heart is China Glaze China Rouge. The android is Pure Ice Wild Thing. I used Essie matte about you on the nail art to keep with the matte theme.

Incoco está loco!! Day Three (or Four?) of Incoco Test Drive

Um... Will it ever come off? I SCRUBBED my whole house yesterday. A normal polish manicure would have been toast. I'm just barely getting tip wear. I'm now getting worried about just how long this will last? I might break down and just remove it. I have some fun nail art I want to try! :)

Incoco Dry Nail Polish Review and Test

I've had these incoco dry nail polish strips for quite some time. I bought these at Walgreens. I think this color ( Red Velvet ) has been discontinued. I don't see it on their website. www.incoco.com I tested out the white french tip on one nail before I had a blog. It stayed on forever. I put polish over the white tip when I tried it.

I was really scared to try a full nail. They are supposed to last up to 14 days.

Here is my experience.

Here are the strips fresh out of the packet. They smell like nail polish! I guess that is because they are made out of nail polish. Still, I wasn't expecting them to REALLY be nail polish.

First, you remove the clear plastic coat on top of the product.
Then, you take the strip off the paper backing.
On their website, it says to remove the silver tab. I just left it on. Looking back, I should have stretched the strip more. It's kind of elastic like. Or, more like stretchy saran wrap. I was able to press it down and wrap the free edge of my nail. I barely needed to file the edge. Most of the excess cam off just from wrapping the tip.
Here is a gap I got on the side of one nail. This is driving me crazy. The most difficult part of this process is picking out the right size!
Here is my finished pinky. The bumps would have smoothed out if I would have stretched in more. I just was afraid it would break. The dry applique felt like almost dry but still dentable polish.

Day One: Here are my nails the morning after I applied the dry nail polish. They don't feel dent-able anymore. Click on the picture to see it SUPER up close. (if you dare!)
