imPRESS Press-on Manicure

I'm here to review another product from the Holiday Voxbox that I received from Influenster. That would be the imPRESS Press-on Manicure by Broadway Nails in the color 080 Ex On The Beach.

First of all, I have to say that the packaging is just ADORABLE! I think they're perfect for holiday stocking stuffers or along with a little beauty basket for someone.I think any girl would be excited to receive something so cute and easy to use like this! One of the greatest things about this product is that it gives you a chance to have beautiful nails for a short period of time if you can't normally have them. Whether you bite your nails or have a job that requires you to keep short nails, you can still have beautiful nails for special occasions or any other time you please!


I applied these nails on December 27, 2011 at 6:00 PM. Applying the nails takes very little effort and barely any time at all! What I did was first lay out my nails that I was going to use, and then I used the prep pad to cleanse my fingernails. I started with my pinky fingers and worked my way across, making sure I applied the thumb nails last as the directions said to. I made sure to press FIRMLY as well. According to the packaging, these nails can last up to a week, but I can't imagine that they actually last that long. My first nail fell off 5.5 hours later, but I decided to leave the rest on just in case it was due to a user error. To my surprise, the second nail did not fall off until the following night at 7PM. Again, I decided to leave the rest on just to see how long they'd last. About 2.5 hours later a third nail fell off. It was at this time that I decided to remove the rest since they weren't feeling as secure as the previous day. Honestly, I think the rest of the nails just may have lasted a little while longer since a couple of them were a bit difficult and uncomfortable to remove. I think next time I'll use the tip on the package that suggests using nail polish remover around the edges!



I have to be honest, when I first saw this item I was not excited at all. When I was a child, I received a press-on nail "salon" for Christmas, and it was quite the disappointment. However, I have to say that this product has definitely changed my mind about press-on nails! I can't wait to try out the different designs and colors. :) Oh, and not to mention the fact that everyone thought they were my real nails! These are definitely a must buy!
