All week long, I was fawing over the nails of a girl I work with. I'd noticed her before, because she has great style, but I really loved her nails. I couldnt figure out if they were acrylic or gel or jamberry or what. I just new they were the cutest.
When I finally got up the nerve to ask, she told me they were an ImPress Manicure. I have always sort of turned up my nose at press on nails. They seem kind of tacky, and they cant possibly stay well, right? I always figured they just popped right off.
From my deep love of instagram I have already been learning that there are lots of new things happening with this kind of artificial nail. Its not like when I was a kid. After she told me that these things are super easy to apply (no glue!) and really do stay on, and best of all, only cost $6, I figured I'd have to give them a try.
They had so many cute styles, but I had to choose these because yellow is my favorite color. I figured even if they came off before the end of the day, it was only $6. They were super easy to apply. I just wiped my hands down with an alcohol wipe, fitted the correct size nail, peeled the back off, and stuck it on. I learned quickly that you only get one shot at this. Once its on, its on, so place carefully!
The website says the nails are designed to last seven days, and here we are on Day Five going strong. I've showered, done about eight million loads of dishes, cleaned, worked, and taken care of my kids. No problems at all! I am really amazed at how well they've stayed on.
My co-worker, now friend, went out over her lunch break and bought enough nails to last her several weeks. They are all so cute, I couldnt even deal with it.
There are so many cute styles. They have different lengths in both square and talon style nails. I can't believe the quality for what they cost and I have had so many compliments on them! I will say that where the website says that they can pop right off, I haven't found that to be true. There was one nail that I realized I put on upside down, and so I needed to take it off and re-apply a new nail. I could not get it off no matter how hard I tried, and ended up having to soak it in nail polish remover. Some press nails can be re-used, but these aren't those. When they come off, they kind of distort in shape, and cannot be re-applied. Hey, for $6, you can't have everything.
If you are needing a cute nail style, and don't have the time to get into a salon, these nails seriously take five minutes to apply and with almost no effort. These nails are cruelty free, and you should already be on their website checking out the selection. I will definitely be using more of these.
