Color Club Untamed Luxury Collection Fall 2010

Any thoughts on this collection at first glance? I was pleased to see it in the trade magazine, but I think I'll reserve my opinion on this one.

polishSWATCHES: Incoco Dry Nail Polish unbiased review

Finally after testing these out I'm ready to write my review....

A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to have received some product samples from Incoco for my review. I had the opportunity to wear these nail decals or what I like to call "press on polish" on my nails for about a good week, week and a half. No basecoats or topcoats were used and my daily routine stayed pretty much the same.

After extended wear and use of this product I actually do like it. It's very easy to apply, very easy to use, and has the wearability of an extended wear polish. I had no big issues with chipping with this product, but I did experience a little tip wear. I would love to see more variety as far as colors are concerned and decals that also feature designs. This would certainly give Minx a run for their money and give Incoco a market edge.

The only thing I didn't like about this product was that it still had the strong odor of polish when the package was opened. An innovative idea would be to create a greener product that's better for the consumer, the market, and the environment. Incoco if you decide to go this route... just don't forget who told you first. :) Incoco Dry Nail Polish Strips can be found at your local drugstore such as Walgreens and CVS. I'm not very certain of the price, but I think they run in the range of $4-$5. When thinking about the elimination of drying time and the fact no additional topcoats or basecotas are needed, Incoco is good buy that saves you time when a quick mani is needed.

polishSWATCHES: My Zoya Wicked Collection Pick 3

I have to be honest... when I received my Zoya package last week I was very excited about receiving it, but not so excited about the collection. I mean when you put out a collection like Zoya Sparkle, it's really hard to follow up after that. But when I pulled the Wicked Collection out of it's box my eyes immediately fixated on Edyta. In my opinion she's the "star" of this bunch and if I could only get my hands on one I'd choose her.

Edyta is a gorgeous "oil slick" looking polish that's actually a very pretty metallic fern green, but when you put it on it goes through a color change effect, going from metallic gold, to black, back to green. It's gorgeous! I'm a definite lover of all things sparkly and this polish had me looking down all day.

Julieanne is this very regal and rich metallic purple, mixed in a nice black base. It reminds me of Wet-n-Wild's Night Prowl nail polish, but packed with more metallic glitter that's finer and sparklier which allowed the black to remain just that.... a base. It doesn't take away from from the gorgeous bling of Julieanne, but compliments her nicely in the background.

Now, Karina made me want to throw on a nice little dress and enjoy a nice night on the town with the hubs. She's classy, she's eye catching, and the most perfect shade of garnet I think I've ever encountered in a polish. I love how glossy and shiny she looked on the nails, but has this slight look of foil due to the metallic particles. This is one me and my mom would be fighting over. Definitely a polish that can be worn by both the old and new school.
