I'm always looking for new products and brands to try on my nails. I've heard a lot of great things about the imPress stick on nails so I thought I'd give it a go.
The kit comes with everything you'd need: 24 nails in 12 sizes, a mini nail file, and a cleansing pad.
It also comes in this cute faux nail polish bottle that contains all of the materials.
I followed the instructions to lay out each nail to be sure I had the right size for each. I started with my pinkies on each hand and worked towards my thumbs. They're very easy to apply and the plastic strip on the back comes off easily. Once I had the nails on about six fingers I started to really dislike them, but to give it a fair shot I finish applying the nails.
Here is what they look like finished:
Once I had all of the nails applied my gut reaction was to rip them off immediately. They feel thick and very fake. They are also impossible to file down and are much, much longer than I'd wear my nails normally so I feel very awkward typing and taking the photos.
They feel like those fake nails you wore when you played dress up as a child. Honestly, I don't understand the hype over these unless I'm doing it completely wrong. On the plus side, they make doing your nails much faster than normal as there is no waiting for polish to dry or clean up around the edges.
However, I have already ripped the nails off. They do pull off cleanly, but I pulled them off about 5 minutes after I applied them, so that might make a difference. My nails are a bit sore from the glue on the back of the nails.
Looking forward to trying new products, but I will definitely steer clear of these from now on.
Sorry imPress!
