Trio of manicures: Incoco's Tropical Escape Collection

(Press Sample; affiliate links)

Hello!

Today I have three manicures to show you from Incoco's Tropical Escape collection, a fun group of tropical themed appliques with matching solid sets to go with.


They sent me Summer Dream, a dreamy sky blue set:

And Summer Night, a fun set with a retro-80s Miami Vice sort of vibe on a shimmery background:

And finally, Tropical Getaway, a rainforest blend of coral and greens:

For my first manicure, I wanted to play with the patterns from the Tropical Getaway set; I surrounded two stripey nails with bed of fronds:

I love the look of this; there's a lot of foliage, but the splashes of color and the background soften it so it's not overwhelming.



For my second manicure, I paired Summer Dream with Summer Night, because you know, not only do the colors go together, but so do the names:


Incoco Summer Dream + Incoco Summer Night

Incoco Summer Dream + Incoco Summer Night

Incoco Summer Dream + Incoco Summer Night

And then...well...
Then I stamped it!! First with Konad m64 and Barry M Silver Foil, then with Cheeky Jumbo plate 2 (see my full review here) and Kleancolor Metallic Orange, Hit The Bottle polishes A Rose By Any Other Name and To Have And To Gold:

I love love love this look! This is one of those times when the idea I had in my head for carrying over the look onto the other two nails--it's busier than I normally do and I adore it!!! I hope you do, too. :)

You can find these appliques along with a ton of other beautiful designs on Incoco's website, and selected designs at your local Walgreen's.

Happy appliqueing,
M.

  1. These look like they applied really well - I'm always a bit wary of things like this as they can be so hit or miss. Your stamping matches the other nails perfectly :)

  3. You have gotten very good at applying those & the stamping over the plain ones is quite clever. :)

    And I love your stamping!! It looks like that foil technique..oh, *now* I understand what shimmers and metallics are good for! :)
