imPress Press On Manicure Review

So remember when I told you all that I received this awesome College Edition of VoxBox by Influenster? Well, I know I'm late but I wanted to share my experience with the imPress Press On Manicure. While I must say the design was extra cute, I was expecting much more for a nail product. The application of the product was very simple: match imPress nails to correct sized nails, clean nails with nail prep pad (alcohol pad), peel off plastic, stick to nail with firm press, apply thumb last. For all 10 nails I think the total application took maybe 10 minutes. While I was super excited at how cute they looked, I was skeptical because they were paper thin and slightly longer than what I like. So, I was able to sleep with them with no problem; even showered with ease. However, the trouble started when I began to do my hair. Now my hair isn't super kinky, however it is fairly curly. So as I began to comb through my hair, I can feel the nails bending and I can hear the glue popping. Within about five minutes the middle finger was the first to go. Needless to say by the time I got my hair tamed, gelled, and styled; I had about four casualties. Now, by no means am I saying that these nails are horrible, however, in my opinion, these aren't the best nails for women who are always on the go, and use their hands a lot. Here are some pictures though, see how cute the design was!

I was excited that I received a free manicure that I brought one to gift to one lucky person!

    1. Don't get me wrong, I think these are perfect for those in a pinch instances where you need your nails done, but can't get to a salon. I do love that you can change up whenever you feel like it without using chemicals. However, I wouldn't suggest these for someone who really uses their hands for everything, and I would suggest that if you use them to place them on after you do your hair.
