Frankly, I love a polish strip. There's not a week that I wear them that I don't receive an array of comments from my coworkers, including but not limited to the following:

• How did you do that?!
• Are those the stickers (with an accompanying motion)?
• I can't seem to apply those right - is there some trick?

There's not an elaborate ritual that goes into applying any of the polish strips on the market. It's best that you take your time and apply them when you're relaxed (I prefer Sunday nights with a glass of wine). Run a cotton pad soaked in alcohol or polish remover before applying and measure carefully to make sure that you're using the right strip.

Last week I decided to use Mirage from Incoco, a great graphic print mixing black and a purple-pink. I love Incoco's choice of strips, from colors to glitters to prints, plus the tools that accompany each strip pack. The strips are always a consistent quality and come in a variety of colors and prints that you can find anywhere else.

Have you tried this new category of nail products yet? Have them become a staple for you?
