I'll be honest, when I first opened the box and saw these nails I was transported straight back to middle school where my days were spent taming the unruly ball of frizz atop my head and playing dress-up with press-on nails. Needless to say, I was pretty skeptical to try them. When I realized how cute the print was, however, I decided I needed to at least give them a shot.
According to Broadway Nails, imPRESS Press-On Manicures "feature advanced nail technology, so you can get a salon-perfect manicure in seconds - simply peel off, press on, and you're done. There's no drying, a killer shiner and a manicure that lasts up to a week!"
The color given to me was D060 "Over the Moon" and I actually have to say that I'm really pleased with how the manicure turned out. Not only is the finished product smooth and makes my fingers look as if I spent at least an hour at a nail salon, but the application was super simple. Seriously.
All I needed to do was match up the artificial nails to which finger they best fit, remove the plastic film from the adhesive, place the nail, and apply pressure. Within ten minutes I had an awesome and effortless manicure that I'll be proud to sport around the office for the remainder of the week. Prices range from $5.99-$7.99 per pack, and each package contains 24 nails so you can feasibly attain two manicures per package.
The Pros:
- Simple Application
- Quick
- Convenient
- Patterns and prints are versatile
The Cons:
- Two applications for over $5 seems a little price-y
- Although the packaging assures that they'll last for up to a week, I can already feel the weakest points on my manicure and I just did it a few hours ago.
Would I Buy This?
- Yes, I would certainly buy these. I wouldn't buy them for everyday wear, but for special occasions (like all of the weddings my friends have invited me to this summer) they are absolutely perfect.
The Bottom Line
Overall, I'm pleased with this product and would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to give it a shot!
Update
So, after trying out these new nails, I would like to say that I stand corrected. Not only was the manicure absolutely adorable, it lasted for over a week! I take back everything I said about not buying these frequently. If I were the type to wear nail art, I would buy these all the time!
*I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.*
