Hi, I'm Wendi! I'm a stay at home Mommy to my 3 little girls and I have found my passion for all things beauty again. Being a Mom can be hard and you can lose yourself a bit, you need to find ways to be yourself again. Makeup and beauty helps me do that! I also enjoy cleaning and anything DIY. Hope you enjoy~~ Wendi Marie

Thank you for the honesty!
I add a topcoat the next day. It minimizes air bubbles. ❣️I also clip them with my cuticle clippers instead of file them and it minimizes white tips. I love your videos. You are fun to watch. I feel like I’m talking with my girlfriend. I have shared your tips and tricks video with several of my friends. God bless.
Mineral Fusion is the best to use and use nail clips and cotton rounds with them to take it off. Also Hard as Hoofs is a good nail cream to use. Especially with washing your hands as much as you do. Keeping them fresh put them back in your package and put in a ziploc bag and put them in the freezer. Love ColorStreet.
Adding a good, clear top coat a few days later helps seal the the edges so they don't catch on your hair. Be sure to seal the ends of your nails too.😊
Reseal the nail pouch and then stick them in the freezer. That what I do and I have yet to have dried out strips. You can also double layer the strips on the nail to help with breakage and apply a clear top coat to help them last.
I don’t sell, but I’ve worn over 100 sets over the last few years and have researched thoroughly. Here are my tips for anyone who cares to read them:
The trick to reusing is to get them back in the package & reseal ASAP. Put them right back in the package after you pick the ones you’re going to use. Don’t let the extras sit in the open air while you’re applying.
Make sure they’re sealed all the way across with your iron or flat iron.
Do not use a lighter to reseal. These are real nail polish so they’re flammable.
Chemically speaking, putting them in the freezer is unnecessary & doesn’t increase longevity at all. The important part is getting them sealed.
When applying, make sure to get a good seal all the way around the nail without leaving any on your skin or cuticle. A cuticle pusher is helpful to get into the nooks and crannies, but thumb nail works, too.
I cut mine in half and use the 1st half on my left hand & second half on my right, starting with pinky & working to thumb.
I never use a liquid top coat. That’s just a personal preference. I enjoy the zero dry-time. I just put them on right before bed so they don’t get wet or bumped while they’re trying to cure.
I hope this is helpful! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Maybe use a soft sponge after taking off the glitter ones?
They took all them off the shelves!! Only Color Street now 🤙💪
Not true, I just Googled incoco nail strip and sure enough, Walmart was the first place that came up in shopping section.
I saw that they work best with a top coat.
Yep, the more you use Color Street, the more tricks you learn. I use a "hard as nails" type polish, then put the strips on, then use a top coat polish. A Color Street rep would recommend the clear strips or using two strips, but I am cheap, and I don't sell them. After you use the hot iron to seal the package, store them in the freezer in an envelope. As far as removing the glitter nail polish, follow the tip from your nail salon, soak your nails in the remover for about 5 minutes. Use a cotton ball to pull the softened polish straight off, not sure how exactly Wendi got so much glitter everywhere. My nails usually last 2 full weeks. I do sometimes have to file the ends a little. It is also recommended that you "rest" your nails with no manicure once in a while. Before I started using a "hard as nails" base, my nails cracked and peeled. You may think that using the bottom and top coat defeat the purpose of using the strips, but I am awful with polish - I have to use my left hand to put polish on my right hand - that doesn't work for me!! And I could never create the designs that are available. I think they are as pretty as many salon nails for a fraction of the cost!
So, as another CS user, not consultant…
They say 7-10 days, the 10-14 is with a double layer (clear as day or the clear pattern overlays work great).
Freeze your extras in a ziploc bag, so much easier than the straightener.
Mineral fusion nail polish remover works so much better than the acetone. I used to do the acetone all the time and tried the mineral fusion when I ran out.
I used to have a lot of chipping my stylist recommended clear as day and since I’ve started using it over my manicure I can sometimes go there weeks and they still look flawless I had tried a regular to coat but the clear as day works better. And you get 32 in the pack so you can use it for several manicures
Put a clear gel polish over them to seal them.
So Color Street is a 1 time use. You can save them but they aren’t guaranteed. You are lucky you have short mail beds, when I do mine I have maybe a few strips left. I can’t use both ends of the strip. I use 1 strip per mail. Now I can use that end piece and do my toes too! The other thing is depending on how old your girls are, kids nails are VERY oily. So more than likely that’s why they didn’t last! You can try dawn dish soap to wash with before application next time for them but they are for adults for this reason. Good luck and I hope you will try them againz
I'm a Color Street Stylist, and a better hack for keeping them fresh is to put them in a zip-loc bag and put in the freezer. To reuse, bring out the ones you want and bring them to room temp before applying. Also, It's much easier taking the strips off if you place nail polish remover in a ramekin, soak your nails, and take off with a cotton ball. Glitters, no matter kind of polish, is always the hardest to get off!!!,. I also use an orange stick to go around my cuticles after applying them. I'm a nurse and am washing my hands 100's of times a day, and I do a lot of crafts and stuff at home, and mine will last nearly 2 weeks, more if I use gloves.
I seal them with scotch tape and then put them in a ziplock with a paper towel. And put them in the freezer. I’ll take out the set I want. I get my hands and the nail strips at room temperature and put them on. I have been able to keep them on the longest 3-4 weeks. I clean my garage, do yard work. House cleaning etc.
Put a clear top coat helps with the tips and corners wear better!
I’ve used some now early 2021 or late 2020 that I had leftover from Fall of 2019. So they do last and you can reuse them. I don’t freeze mine, but I do make sure to get the air out. Only one package of the glitter ones that I didn’t seal right away, then they did dry off before the last use. I have short nails so I get 3 manis out of each package. I don’t sell them.
The ones at Walmart, they are front the same manufacturer (incoco and coconut nail art). Same formula, same everything... just not MLM, so they’re cheaper since they don’t have to account for the commission that color street does.
I made this comment before I watched the rest of your video and you JUST said this same thing. 😂
I use a regular clear top coat to keep them nice. Mine regularly last 2 weeks .
Color Street Stylist here! Use Mineral Fusion for polish remover! Also you can find lint free remover pads on amazon along with polish remover clips! I love these! Also, use the Mineral Fusion Gel Top Coat that doesn't require a UV light to help your nails last longer!
I don't have problems taking them off but I do know that ALL the air has to be out of the package before you seal it.
My girl said they discontinued the ones at Walmart
Have you ever tried Lily and fox nail strips
I haven't! Are they similar to Color Street?
Girl, you need to try using Mineral Fusion acetone free polish remover. Works great on glitters!!
Yes!!!!!!
Only take out one strip at a time, that way your other strip will stay fresh, when your done, seal them. I've used mine that I sealed, 6 months later and they were great. The strip come off with cotton and acetone, you don't have to soak them.
I would recommend you buff your nails first;wash your hands;fry them and then put the color street on like the instructions say. They last longer for me like that. Another life hack is to use a fast drying gel top coat. It works for everyone I recommend it to.
Silly question, but what if you used a vacuum sealer like for food to help save them?
I'm sure you could try! I don't have one otherwise I would totally give it a shot.
Yes the food savers work well too. Or flat iron, regular iron, chip sealer. I personally put mine in the freezer
My mom sells colorstreet and she LOVES the glitters as well but they are such a pain to get off, she uses these nail polish removing clips and I think the brand is bittb but they are SO much easier. All you do is add nail polish remover to a cotton pad, place it on the nail, and add a clip, after you wait a while you just take it off and it makes removal a ton easier. With the solid colors or just regular nail polish these clips also work very well and with me it just takes two swipes max after it sits. I hope this helps and you enjoy colorstreet nails more in the future😊
The best way to get them off with less mess is to use Mineral Fusion Nail Remover. You can get it on Amazon for about $8. Get some nail remover clips. They works much better for removing. Also, with the kids..... put them on right before bed. Kids are 100 times rougher than adults. They will cure over night and hold better. Don’t give up. The more you use them you will find you own tricks of the trade that works for you.
I buy both colorstreet and coco buuuut the Walmart are thinner
I just bought the dashing diva from target and can’t wait to try them out. I plan on doing a video for those as well.
After about 5-7 days I also get the rough edge near the cuticle. I just take a Q-tip with some polish remover and wipe it near the cuticle. Not enough to o take off the polish, but just to smooth that edge. Also, I notice that the glitters tend to chip near the free edge more than the solids. The large glitters even faster than the small glitters. When resealing, I cut the full strip in two or three sections, fold the open end, and take a lighter to reseal the edge. Last tip is nail polish remover caps are a lifesaver with the glitter. I take cotton pads and cut in half. Put them in a small dish with polish remover then add the soaked pads on the nails with the clips. Five minutes later, with a little rubbing it comes right off. If not, add a little more remover and wait a couple more minutes. Easy!
I really wish stylists would quit recommending the baggie method of removing your strips! I’m an Independent Stylist and when I first saw the baggie “trick” I tried it before passing it on to any of my girls. I’m a glitter freak, and like you I had glitter everywhere!!! I had to do a fresh baggie just to get the glitter off and by the time I was done my hands were burning. I recommend getting a set of nail clips and I use a cotton ball ripped in half soaked in nail polish remover (whatever kind you have is fine) clip the cotton balls on one hand at a time and let sit for 5 minutes. If the nail strip doesn’t immediately come away with the cotton ball, gently wipe away any remaining strip/glitter.
As for the resealing the strips, I have found that keeping my strips in the freezer is what works best for me. The ones that I have resealed and left out on my desk have dried out much faster (these statements are not endorsed by Color Street and are the sole opinion of this individual 😉). The reason why there are so many strips in the package which seems wasteful to some, is because we don’t all have small nails. Our nails come in all shapes and sizes and Color Street wants to ensure that every woman can be able to do her nails and feel beautiful with a single package of Color Street nail strips.
When my daughter (9) does her nails, she gets the best application when she washes her hands with dish soap and uses the prep pad.
I always wear glitters and I use the baggie method to remove them every time. I only use Mineral Fusion polish remover and I never have leftover glitter or anything close to what this person had after using pure acetone. The clips are a PITA, the baggie is so easy!
First of all the baggy method works great for removing fake nails. I don’t think I would use it for regular nail polish I would just use one of those jars or for glitter those nail clips may work very well
Do not pull the color Street off even if it says you can I did that the first time and it took two months before my nails were back to normal again they kept chipping and were very thin
Are use a basecoat then apply the nail strips and then a topcoat and apply the first topcoat to the tips and along the edges and then a second coat and a topcoat
That may seem extreme but I am a nurse and I find that with the topcoat ceiling around the edges and the tip I get less water and ourell under them and they last a lot longer
But I think to be more fair you should also try the brand Lily and fox
They probably are not American made, but most of their strips are 2.99
They didn’t charge me shipping
And I hate to say it but the first once I tried weren’t even gel and they lasted longer than color Street even at the hospital.
I want a Colorstreet on vacation and they didn’t last as long
I think their designs are comparable but their customer service is insane
I got a personal note with my first order and they were extremely helpful
Oh also I also use the little rubber pushers I got a whole bunch of them cheap from Amazon more than I will ever need and I find these work better than pushing them on with your hands
1. Wash your hands including scrubbing under your nails and dry well
2. Prep your nails with the alcohol wipe or with nail polish remover to remove oil‘s especially if you have oily skin and nails as polished and lift off faster
3. Applying a clear basecoat seems to make them stick better and last longer as well
4. Apply the nails trying to handle them as little as possible. Wendy handled them much more then I do but it was her first time
I don’t pull the little silver thing off I use that to guide the placement on the first nail then I cut the excess off with manicure scissors,
Use the end I’m not going to use to place on the other side after I pull off the silver tab
So I do same nails at the same time - do both pinkies etc
I’ve been smooth them down with one of those rubber cuticle pusher’s starting from the cuticles and I smooth them out and push them under the cuticle so they’re not on top and down along the edges
I use my thumb nail to push the polish underneath the nail before I pull it off
For the thumb I use the sharp side of the cuticle pusher to push it under the nail
5. Apply your favorite topcoat just at the tips and on the edge of the tips seal seal the edges
Then apply a second coat starting at the cuticle making sure to cover the tip again
Using a basecoat and topcoat might seem almost like putting on polish but using these strips your nails dry quicker and they don’t scuff
Also it looks more like a professional manicure for those of us that are not very polished illiterate which I am not. Anybody can do a good job with clear.
6. Because I am a nurse and I wash my hands a lot I reapply the topcoat in 3 to 5 days depending on what’s going on and how they look and that seems to help them last
Now none of the brands of last for two weeks for me but again wash my hands all the time pushing and pulling equipment at work all the time and using a lot of purell.
I got almost 10 days off of one set this way which is miraculous for a nurse.
So hope for any of you that are more budget conscious I would suggest you try Lilly and fox
You can get two manicures out of2.99, Plus you have extra strips that don’t quite fit very well but you can use to make a design with or give to a friend who’s nails are different sizes than you
I just bought some... my friend sales them... she mentioned that wearing gloves when doing dishes and cleaning will help the longevity of your nails. Thanks for your opinion.
I really recommend using a top coat over your color street if you are rough on your nails. I use Sally Hansen miracle gel top coat. Mine last 14 days
You could have possibly put them too close to your cuticles and that’s why the came off? Also, give it 30 min before getting your hands wet.
Get nail clips! They are super cheap. They hold cotton balls on your nails! They are the best.
I have maybe 30 sets that have been closed with a flat iron. They are really a one time use product. That being said I’ve never had an issue. You just need to make sure they aren’t too cold or not too hot.
I feel like kids nails are harder. They are smaller. So if they are on the cuticle or on the skin they will come off faster. If I don’t try too hard putting them on my kids, they come off quickly.
Also if they get caught in your hair, take a q tip and put polish remover on it and rub round the bottom/edges and it will fix that issue
put a top coat on it last longer
What gel top coat do you use?
It's a from Kiss (Gel Shine) and I get it from Dollar Tree :)
I am a Color Street Stylist. The OPI base coat and high gloss top coat help the strips stay on longer. Also, try doing both of your thumbs last as they are a super tool.
Do you put the base coat on before applying the nail strips?
@@erickristinenewberg3953 yes, I do.
I sell and use Color Street too.. but the strips dont stay on my nails for longer then a week, they peel right. :(
I use Color Street on my daughter all the time. It usually lasts 7-10 days on her nails. It would probably last longer, but she tends to pick 🤦♀️ I always have her wash her hands really well with dish soap before applying. I use a prep pad too. Then be sure to keep her from getting her hands wet for an hour after applying.
*TIP: When your nails start to grow out and there is a rough edge on your Color Street, dip a cotton swab into nail polish. Then run it along that rough edge. It will help smooth it out. Works like a charm.
Did you mean nail polish remover? 😆
I promise that if you add a top coat they will last at least 2 weeks.
Add top coat that helps them stay on much longer. Mine stayed about 3 weeks.
To seal up my unused nails, I pull them apart into strips of 2 and then crease the end of the plastic and seal it with a lighter. I have so many strips that I have used a year after for the 2nd time and they were just as great as when I originally opened them.
Also, I predominantly use glitters and just use regular cotton balls and polish remover to get them off and have never had a glitter mess. It might just have been the method you used.
Great review, I love seeing what people really think, especially when they have zero stock in the product :)
Thank you for this honest feedback. I’ve had color street for months and I’ve been applying them all wrong 🥴. I really appreciate finding information without sales. Thank you! And thanks to all the comments because I’m using those tips too!
Dont break them apart before putting them back in...they will stay fresh. Flat iron put in a make up bag in room temp.
I noticed that mine don’t last that long either... maybe less than a week, but I like to give them the benefit of the doubt since I also do a lot of dishwashing and hand washing. Even getting gel nails at the salon don’t last for me. I definitely think it beats having to paint my own nails and going through all the smudges; and I buy them to help the girl’s business. I usually just buy them directly from the girl when she has her personal inventory sales at home... I get them for like $10 and no shipping fee. Oh, and I rarely do my nails, but when I do, I use both strips on my toes and fingers to make sure they don’t go to waste. Even then I’ve had a few extra strips leftover so I’ve resealed them with my hot iron. I have yet to try them, but I’ve heard other TH-camrs (just now) say the same thing
Mineral Fusion on cotton rounds (cut into fourths) with plastic nail clips is the easiest and cleanest way to remove them, in my opinion. And yes, doing them with friends/family is a great option! I can do my nails and toes and my daughter’s nails and toes with one set! Last week 5 neighbors and 3 of our daughters opened up 3 Halloween sets to mix + match!
Where do you get that from?? I get nervous about ordering beauty related products on amazon. You never know what you’re getting.
@@WendiLee I get my Mineral Fusion on Amazon but I also found it on Kroger.com for a little less. It does work wonderfully but I also like using Onyx Soak Off. Onyx has acetone but it gets the glitter off without struggling. Also, when you did the baggie method it looked like you didn't put enough remover in it? I get glitter on my hands as well after that but I wash with Dawn afterwards and it cleans the glitter right off. The problem may have been your remover of choice. Love the videos - I posted them on my group page because there are folks in there that haven't tried them yet.
@@WendiLee I have found Mineral Fusion at Whole Foods.
Not sure if anyone else addressed the longevity of the nail strips on your little ones. Children's nail beds can be especially oily. When I apply Color Street nail strips on the little ones (8 and 11) in my life, I have them wash their hands first and then clean each nail immediately before putting the strip on (as opposed to wiping all the fingers at the start). I also instruct the little one to try as hard as possible to not fiddle with their fingers for a few hours (easier said than done, I know). We've gotten a full 5 days before they had enough wear that the girls started picking at them. With the different holiday designs and everyday sparkly ones, the girls are having so much fun.
{Full disclosure, I'm also an in Independent Stylist for Color Street. ❤️
I got my nail clips from Amazon. They are bright pink and had a good review. Really helps taking off gel strips like Dashing Diva and glitters. They were six dollars
Color Street actually makes remover now too! It’s currently out of stock, but will be back sometime next week. It’s awesome!!!
This is Melissa Woods, not Mike Woods. I am an Independent Stylist with Color Street. I love the product, so I wanted to comment.
First of all, Color Street, (the company) states clearly the strips are ONE USE - once open, the strips will dry out.
However... there are "hacks" that will make them last longer (as some comments below have already stated).
Return the strips to their original packaging (which is a PITA, but is easier if you pull the strips apart into individuals, instead of the whole strip of 8), and reseal with a flat iron, regular iron, or scotch tape. Put that package into a "ziplock" type bag, and put it in the freezer.
When you are ready to re-use, bring them back to room temperature, and they will become more pliable. [Color Street says "use at room temperature" - your hands and the strips should not be cold.] You can use a hair dryer to warm them up, or sit on them for a few minutes (seriously). The more pliable they are, the better your results will be. (This goes for brand new fresh strips, as well.)
ALWAYS clean and prep your nails. Dish soap (like Dawn or Joy) works well to remove oiliness. I use rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball (in place of the alcohol prep pads they provide) to clean each nail right before application.
Warm hands and strips + clean nails = flawless application.
Once you have your gorgeous manicure, there are little steps you can take to maximize your results.
SOLIDS - as with "wet" nail polish, "creme" type colors do not last as long as "shimmers" or "glitters". I don't know the chemistry behind nail polish manufacturing, but if you use regular nail polish, then you probably have noticed this difference.
-- In regards to Color Street -- double up on the solid strips. You will definitely get longer lasting results (as with normal polish - who uses just one coat??).
GLITTERS/SHIMMERS - If you clean and prep your nails properly, you can EASILY get 7 days out of a set. Doubling up on a set should get you 12+ days. Personally, the longest I have worn a set (doubled) was 12 days. I changed it because I wanted to change my mani - not because it was getting crappy and needed to change it.
NOTE: Removal of glitter polish is ALWAYS a PITA!! I have never used the "warm water/baggie" method, but it even sounds messy. I use cotton balls and acetone. Sure - there is rogue glitter around, but not nearly as much of a mess as Wendi experienced with the bag. ]Don't blame Color Street for that one...]
ADVICE FROM AN EXPERIENCED COLOR STREET USER - most stylists recommend adding a clear top coat of some kind after a day or two. I like to think it "seals the deal" and gives a shiny (or matte) boost to your manicure. My current manicure is going on 6 days. I have one layer of OPI plumping top coat over my Color Street strips. I have ZERO wear, chips, or separation. As a stylist, I make sure I change my mani once a week, but I HATE to remove it when it still looks this good. And it usually DOES still look good... And be advised -- I do dishes regularly (at least twice a day), and live on a "farm" with horses and chores and non-girly stuff.
Bottom line - this is an excellent product. It is easy to use and is made from very high quality nail polish. Like any product, user error minimizes results, and with just a little TLC, you WILL be amazed...
I DON'T LOVE THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE I SELL IT -- I SELL THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE I LOVE IT...
Thanks for this comment!! My coworker sells Color street and im thinking about buying some, which is why I'm watching videos about it.. but thanks for all the info!
Thank you so much for the info!
Since these are actually nail polish, could you apply the “dried out” ones to a wet, clear base coat?
@@lorijames3974 this is a awesome question!! I hope someone answer5
Just tried for the first time....love love love!
If you add half of a dryer sheet in the zip lock bag it helps catch the glitter and helps rub the polish off
Nice tip!
I'm sure you could vacuum seal them if you have a FoodSaver type of machine but then you would waste bags lol
I use what they call nail clips. U put the acetone on a cottonball and then use these clips. I use 3 of the set of 10 and by the time u get the 3rd one on they r coming off. Also if they get lifted at cuticle u can use acetone on qtip n use it there. It will fix it
I have been doing my nails for 30 years. I love glitter. I use a paper towel with polish remover. It clings to the glitter great.
Here’s my link for my Color Street site, msha.ke/ohsopolishedbyjana. Starting next year the brand at Walmart will be phased out FYI!
They need to cure!! If I do mine during the day, I will wreck them. I'm too busy doing. So I do mine at night before I go to bed. When I wake up, they are ready to take a beating and I am at hard on them!! They last till I take them off. Store them in the freezer.
yeah, I find that using a straightening iron doesn't work as well as just using a lighter to seal the end of the plastic. I have a baggie full of resealed ones in my freezer in a ziploc. Some resealed numerous times. Only had one set ever fail.
I keep forgetting to throw mine in the freezer!
In the freezer? I thought you weren't supposed to get them cold?
@@kcg1235 Color Street doesn't guarantee them after you open them but many people find that if they seal the packets well and throw in the freezer, they last very well. Just let them come to room temp before you use them. I have a ziploc vaggie of the extras from all my sets. Makes it easy to just have fun or make great mixed manis
@@MoniquesMakes thanks! 💗
I have resealed mine with my flat iron, opened them again, sealed again and they have always been fine. I just used some that I first opened close to a year ago and they were great! I do not put mine in the freezer.
File the topcoat off before you take them off
Because you wash dishes so much, you should get some good cleaning gloves. Not only will you polish/color street last longer, but your nails will get stronger. I have gloves for dishes, cleaning using water, work gloves for w/o water (like when organizing the garage), and outdoor chores. My nails are so strong they can grow longer now and polish lasts.
I really do need to get some gloves! I have some that I could use but I always forget to put them on. I usually remember when I'm almost finished..LOL!
Mrs. Dave here! I just started using these about a month ago, and they are amazing! Mine last about 10 days. I use the plastic nail clips and pads to take the polish off. Easy peasy! I also make sure I put a clear topcoat on them. As for re-using the sets, I haven't tried that yet. I have them sealed in an airtight ziplock, but am going to put them in the freezer when I get home. I think the glitter seems to stay better than the solid colors. Doesn't show the chips and edges as much. Just my two cents on this.
I used my “seal a meal” on seal only and works great, also!
I heard to put them in the freezer to keep them fresh.
You answered every question I had. Thank you!
I'm so glad!
My stylist sent me these nail clips for removing the strips. All I do is soak a cotton pad with remover, place the pad on the nails of one hand, hold the pads in place with the clips, wait about 5-ish mins, and then take the clips off. That's it. The entire strip - polish, glitter, and adhesive - comes off in one "piece" on the pad. No rubbing and no glitter on my skin.
Link for the nail clips: www.amazon.com/dp/B018QN8V9O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_KHF09MQVT7NYF1AXPWHA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Also, I've heard about the flat iron hack. I don't have a flat iron, so I just put the left over strips in a snack-size zip lock bag, smooth out all the air, and seal the bag. The strips have still been good 2-3 weeks later. Another tip I've heard but haven't tried, if it's going to be longer than 2-3 weeks before you use the rest, place the sealed bag in the freezer. Just remember to allow the strips to come to room temp prior to applying.
Oh, and one last comment: I'm rough on my nails too. For me: wet polish lasts 1-2 days, one layer of solid color street lasts 8 days, one layer of glitter color street last 10 days. That said, using a base coat and top coat made my glitter color street last 17 days!!!
*I use OPI Nail Envy nail strengthener
I use cotton balls and nail clips and just leave them on a little longer for glitter. I use acetone and apply cuticle oil 24 hrs after.
You can use one strip for two nails, since your nails are short. That uses less product each time. I use a lighter to seal the plastic. You could also get a bag sealer from Amazon. Save them in your freezer, it helps to make them last longer. I use the leftover strips several months later. I do not have issues. I use them as accent nails. Also, applying a good clear top coat will help the polish last longer on your nail. I do not sell Colorsteet, I use them and love them.
I have been using color street for 6 weeks. I'm on my 4th set. Mine last a min of 10 days. I've gone 15 days and took it off because of natural nail growth and wear on the tips but no chipping. I do a lot of dishes with very hot water and i don't use gloves. I batch cook on the weekends and also do dishes daily along with cleaning the home. I also did my nails and 2 weeks later did my friend's nails with my left overs and they went on beautifully and hers lasted a full 10 days min. All glitter nail polish is a pain to remove. Acetone must be used if you want fast removal. I have noticed that If I get catching at the base it is due to application error. I've over lapped the strip on my cuticle but that is on me. Incoco and incoco coconut are part of color street. Incoco came first and actually the creator of color street created the nail polish strip and initially was the developer of the Sally Hansen Salon nail effects from 10 years ago. He then decided to take his product on his own and created incoco and incoco coconut which then developed to the high end Color Street. That information is readily available on the internet. It's no secret. I have used both incoco and color street. Color street has more variety and high end styles. Incoco is limited in styles. I'm currently wearing incoco but I'm obsessed with color street. I view incoco coconut as high school, incoco as college and color street as adult.
Troble free removal- use brush on gel removal nail polish remover no mess, super easy and quick. The polish literally slides off into paper towel
Oh wow! I use that method to take of my glitters and never had the issue of glitter everywhere
You need to use Mineral Fusion to take them off. I love the glitter too and the Mineral Fusion really is key!😊
I love colorstreet but i always use a clear topcoat of regular polish. As for dishes, you should get the handle sponge where you put the soap in the handle. Thats all i use and it has saved my manicures..so much better!
This is what my seller suggested to do. I haven't been able to wear mine yet because I'm too busy woodworking and don't want to waste them.
Exactly! I do too many diy's to keep my nails looking good..haha!
@@WendiLee Yep. Nails are my last worry. Though I do like them to look nice, I'm not big on color. When I do polish, I use something that's the natural color of my nails.
I use color street and love them. Yes, they do sell at Walmart, but its hard to find cute colors/designs.
Also, TIP: if you flat iron to seal, then put in a zip lock bag and put in the freezer. When ready to use, defrost for like 10 mins. They will last you so much longer!!!
Also when you want to use them when taking them out the freezer get them room temperature. If they are a little dry you can use a hair dryer to warm up the strip or qtip with little of polish remover to soften the strip. You can look up videos.
It true, the ones at Walmart the designs aren’t as cute as color street ones
I store mine in a zip lock bag and place In the freezer.
I really like your video. I was advised to put a clear one over the nails so they last longer. Or a quick drying top coat. Just a suggestion. I have my first pair on with a clear over it. They do sell the clear ones. Good luck :)
They actually stopped selling the incocco nails at ulta and the selection at Walmart is super limited. So idk if the colorstreet owner will still have 3 companies. I tried two of the $5 ones. The first one was pretty but the strips were too wet. The coconut incocco company did replace them when I sent them an email though which was nice.The second set one was similar to the colorstreet.
I tried my first set today actually, never used colorstreet before. I used to sell Jamberry a few years back when they were around. I’ll be disappointed if the other sheet of CS nails that I didn’t take the top plastic sheet off, are dried up. I didn’t do a perfect job, but they are nice. Jamberry nails used to ruin my nails. I still have tons of those left, along with the gels and polish. We’ll see how these do.
Put them on at night and let them cure while you sleep. I wear the glitters and mine lasted 2 weeks, no top coat. My nails do grow a lot slower than yours however. You can also double up on strips I’ve fixed nails by adding another on top.
Was going to post this also. Letting them 'cure' all night seems to help staying power. I also like to put a top coat layer next day.
I always put a top coat on mine and they last 2 weeks. If you are concerned about the drying time, they honestly dry a zillion times faster than regular nail polish.
I tried color street and loved them. I thought they were super cute!! Mine lasted about 8 days until they really needed to come off. . . and then the trying to take it off. Ohhhhhhh my gosh! They wouldn't come off. They were sticky, cotton sticking everywhere. they were so bad I didn't want to try the left over so I painted over them. Fast forward two weeks, I still couldn't get them off. I tried to bag in warm water and that helped but, had to scrape off the sticky left over off. It has taken me days! LOL! Will I use them again??? I don't know.
I had stopped using Color Street because they were so hard to remove. Then I was told about Mineral Fusion. Girl, that was the deal breaker right there! I got nail clips, used them with cotton balls soaked in Mineral Fusion. I stick them on one hand, set timer for 5-7 minutes (glitter takes a tad bit longer) then it just wipes right off. I haven't wanted to try the plastic bag in bowl of warm water because I don't want to waste the Mineral Fusion. I'm telling you, this was a game changer! Also my nails last about 2 wks before looking ratty, and I have 4 kids and don't wear gloves. I've also been resealing them in the bag with a craft iron. I've never tried putting them in the freezer. I have used them up to 18 months later and they work just fine.
Definitely use the nail clips that ppl have been mentioning. I've been obsessed with colorstreet for going on 9 mths now. Just ordered my Valentine's sets 🙈🙈❤️❤️ but a tip I would have for you is to do your manis at night, that way they have a chance to do some serious curing, they will last longer on the kids too if you wait to do it before they go to bed. Mine wear at the tips before anything else and it's mostly my work, but I love them and I know it's been awhile since you tried them and I hope you're still using them cause they are so fun!! Also, I store mine unsealed in the freezer and they seem to be holding up pretty well
It looks like you might have put them on the cuticle. Sometimes mine peel off like that when I get it on my cuticle.
I was thinking the same thing.
I agree with previous posted. Nail clips are a game changer! Sally’s, Amazon have them. I’m not a Color Street consultant but application is much easier than Dashing Diva. Try a top coat too.
I use a food saver to keep mine fresh. Also the Walmart brands was his precursor to color street. I've heard they are being phased out all together. Also, you get half the strips in the Walmart brand, which is probably why half the price. Imo
Same. I’ve always used my kitchen vacuum sealer. I can and do use my old sets that I’ve had sealed in a vacuum bag for over a year. I have to keep them warmer when applying, but they go on and stay on just fine. I do not sell CS. I just love it.
Great video!! I tried the Ulta Incoco ones - $4.00 ~ yikes!!!! I LOVED them!! Only 12 choices but still! Actually right now on the Ulta site is only 1 color choice - Im sure after the holiday they will stock back up again. I will mix and match with colorstreet and ulta incoco.
The incoco ones from Walmart.com and Ulta are amazing...I use them all the time!!! I get 2 weeks out of them all the time!!
Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't Incoco owned by Color Street? I Know I saw that somewhere but I can't remember where!
@@nikkib4834 Hi Trisha - Yes - I just learned the same thing! So much cheaper and same quality~
The strips I bought for just toe nails have lasted almost a month (Mardi Gras) and look as good as when I first put them on.
I keep mine in the freezer. You don’t need to seal them first. When I want to use them I sit on them for 5 minutes. Mineral fusion is amazing. I use it with nail clips. Leave them on 4-5 min and wipes right off
Incoco is created by Fa Park. They are being phased out. They don’t have the selection Color Street does and they don’t add new designs as often.
I store my extras by putting them in a zip lock bag in the freezer. I guess the cold slows the drying process. They aren’t guaranteed but I’ve personally never had an issue applying them after! Incoco and Coconut nails are sister companies of Color Street and they are exactly the same BUT then you aren’t supporting a stylist so it’s just personal preference 😊
Well, I’ll buy them at Walmart then, because I avoid supporting MLMs.
I wouldn’t compare the “re-use” from your girls. I re-use them all the time, even months later, and they generally work just as fine. But my daughter’s also only stayed on for a day or two. I don’t know if’s it’s just not getting them on as securely with a kiddo (mine was constant moving), or if they are just tougher on them?? But try re-using them yourself and seeing how they compare!
Take them off with Nail Clips. Takes 5mins.
you need about 30 min for your nails to set. Don't wash your hands right after, don't shower right after and don't apply any lotions or oils right after.
The problem w/your daughter may have been more related to the fact that kid’s nails are more oily, so the strips don’t always stick as well. I’ve used previously opened nails several times w/out problems! ☺️
Kids nail beds are softer so they don't stick as well. I have the same problem with fresh nails on my daughters nails.
When you put the extra Tokyo lights on your daughters, did you prep their nail with an alcohol prep pad? If not, Theo nail beds could have been oily and that would have caused the strips to come off the next day.
Thank you for being soooo honest!
I have used glitter and my fingers have never looked like urs wen removing them lol. And I never store mine away like that and they're fine lol. Idk what it is. But I can still use mine
A young girls nails have a lot of oil in the nail bed that is why they won't stay
These are not meant for kids. They are safe for kids but the oils on their hands are different. This is why they do not last. Just FYI.
Put them in the freezer to keep them fresh! I reseal mine with heat and store them in the freezer and they work every time!
Freezer trick works!
Put them back in the packaging, into a baggie, and into your freezer. Let them thaw like 60 minutes and they're still good. So much less waste that way!
I use mineral fusion to get my color street off and it works amazing!!
What is mineral fusion?
@@joanneformisano582 Nail polish remover. It's sold on Amazon and I've also found it on Kroger.com for less than Amazon.
@@joanneformisano582 Literally the best nail polish remover EVER!!!
I love mineral fusion!
I tried those at walmart and they dont last long at all.
I just use the Target brand nail polish remover container that has the rubber scrubber in it (You just insert 1 finger at a time). It will give you your sanity back with removing the glitter Color Street polishes! GAME CHANGER, I promise :)
seal and put in freezer and pull out 20 min before use.also mineral fusion is awesome at taking it off.hold mineral fusion on nail for up to 5 min and should wipe off.
and the rough edges by your cuticles take a little bit of nail remover on a q-tip and run it briefly over that area and it will smooth it a bit :)
^^^^ THIS.
I tried this and it totally worked! Thanks!
Awesome idea!
You can buy incocco at Ulta too. On sale for $4. the incocco at Walmart doesn't have as big of a selection as Ulta. And Walmart also have Coconut by incocco. But it's only 12 strips. Not 16 but 2 solid sets have 4 accent nail strips.
The Incoco were the first run for Colorstreet. Once they are gone they are not supposed to be any new ones. I used to sell Colorstreet...lol
Might I add...I do like Colorstreet, but if you're frugal, they do seem wasteful. 👍🏼😉
Incocco used to be a website on its own. Years ago. And they had a selection of over 100 designs and colors. I use to buy them all the time. If I would have known they were trying to phase out before color street started I would have bought them up. I loved that site!
