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 review

So I've tried impress nails before and loved them so much. I was kindly sent 2 new designs to try. A beautiful floral design and two tone purple/black one. They are the short nail design. 

They are easy to apply and last if you prep your nails right. That means washing your hands and then using the pad included. You then size up each nail and have them done before you apply. 

I choose the floral design first as having 10 minutes to apply some nails, just gave me the therapy I needed on a bad day. 

Now these nails to me seemed different, maybe it's because it was a short length. However on a few nails as I was pulling the backing off, the glue balled up and came off the nail. This didn't happen when I've used them before and they seemed to stick better before. This version the nail glue I found, was further down so it was sticking to my skin. Maybe this is why I had the thumb nails flip off after 2 days. As the skin was making it bend. So I think the normal ones suit me or it might be my thumb nails are a little too short, so need extra stick. I did find using some adhesive helped to stick the thumbs on, then they were on for good. The purple version did not ball up and stuck on fine. So there must have just been a odd nail that was not applying properly. 

They lasted 5 days with only the thumbs needing changing. So maybe there was a few little oddities as my nails were longer before. Hence had no problem with the adhesive, so maybe that is why I had a issue. I love impress nails as they give me the acrylic nail feeling and relaxation to have a pamper with. I would recommend these to anyone whom can't get to a salon. Plus the container means the ones you loose can be kept and used again. You just order some adhesive for nails then re-apply.
