My honest review of the Nail sets 

These nails are the stick on back ones that impress have released previously and I have loved them, unfortunately these nails did come off quicker then I expected them too. I would on the next application add a nail glue so the nails lasted a longer duration. I loved the design and the overall presentation of each design with the "Love" in calligraphy writing to be my favourite. 

I would love if the impress sets would come with the nail glue also so anyone whom is doing heavier duties wont loose the nails so easily. However in some cases I have noticed that some people have used the nails and had no issue. It is my personal opinion but I do feel that the sets would be miles better with the nail glue included as it lasts for a longer time period on my nail and I feel more fabulous when my nails look manicured with a design.

ImPress Nail - Accent nail kit

ImPress Nails

I love to do my nails. With the new trend being to show more designs or having an accent manicure. With ImPress nail's if you have short nails or want that fresh manicure look in an instant. I love these kits as they can give me the design and finish i love from a manicure. 

*ImPress nails can be purchased in Superdrug & Boot's*

They say : 

The most flexible and comfortable nail ever.

• - 2X longer lasting
• - With revolutionary SafeHold adhesive technology 
• - Secures like glue
• - The only waterproof nails 
• - Gap-free seal
• - Includes 30 ultra-shine gel nails and 6 accent nails

*When compared to other press-on nails.

- Apply in minutes : Tab side lines up with cuticle. 

- Before application: Select correct size nail for each finger and set aside in order. (Use smaller sizes for best results)

- Wash hands : Use enclosed prep pad to cleanse natural nails.

- During application: Press nails down firmly, first in the middle, then on each side of nail for long-lasting results. (Always apply thumb nails last.) 

- After application: For the first 1/2 hour, repeat pressing on nails to ensure extended wear. Wait one hour before cutting or filing nails and before exposing to water. Glitter may cause an uneven edge; gently smooth with enclosed file. 

- Remove in seconds: Gently peel off from sides or apply polish remover around edges, wait 1 minute, peel off.

So with these nail's the preparation is very important, to ensure they stick in place firmly. Do all nail-care preparation before. (i.e cuticle care, removing nail polish etc) Then clean your nail bed with the given wipe included. 

A tip would be to go through the size's and match each nail. This will make application easier, also do your thumb's last as the backing need's a firm grip to remove. Line the nail up before you apply as once they stick, they will not budge. 

So i applied my nail's and none of my nail's with length have moved as of yet. The nail's i have which broke, they do need some nail glue for added security. My thumb nail's are so short the adhesive part only was able to attach to a small part of my nail. So didnt last a long time yet with some nail glue it was able to attach more securely. So if your nail extends past the bed onto the skin your length is fine. If you dont have that then i would get some nail glue, also from ImPress or a kit with this included. 

As they do last and give a lovely summery effect. 

ImPress nails : New designs

imPress manicure's have been a well loved product for me, that are easy to apply plus last. I cant get to have nails applied so this is the next best thing. I found they work for me and ive never had a problem with them. So when i heard and saw new designs, it would have been just wrong not too. 

They say ; 

imPRESS is the revolutionary way to apply polish. Lasts up to a week. No drying time, no chipping – unlike a nail polish manicure. Superior, lasting shine; like a salon UV gel manicure. So easy to apply; just peel off, press on, and done.

How to use : Select the correct size nail for each finger and set aside in order. Cleanse natural nails with prep pad. Align tab with cuticle, peel off and press down firmly onto natural nail.

So i have a beautiful set of black and white lace (TGIF) patterned, along with a vibrant stunning red shade. So like i say the application i find is easy, plus not too fit tight into the nail bed. If you need to go to a smaller size it does look more natural and the nail will adhere better. Ive tried a test, the size of my nail bed and slightly smaller but fits within more naturally. I found the size that really pinches the cuticle (bigger) will not last more then 2 days most, as it doesnt stick to the middle properly but just the sides. So go one size down, where it slides along the nail and meets your cuticle perfectly.This i find allow's the whole adhesive to secure firmly,to your own nail.

I hope you can see above from my close up, how im explaining the nail fitting close to the cuticle.I find they look more natural to my hand when i look at the full set applied.Plus then also they will last (i find) the amount of time that is specified on the package. Ive never had them last less then 5 days, even then the one i would loose is my thumb. 1 replacement nail later from my spares, within the container then my manicure is complete again. So i hope my tips will help and ensure that these new designs dont go to waste. They are fun and snazzy and ive seen a techno-colour dream (Below picture, middle left container) that i have on my "to purchase list".
