imPRESS Nails (Review)

I have missed writing things, got to admit, so now going to try and keep it going, at least little posts every day (or every other day) or big ones every week or two, even if it is a short message.

Awhile back i.e. in 2012, I received a sample pack of these fake but not-obvious-that-they-are fake nails and thought to try them out day before yesterday. I believe I got them in a newspaper as promotion, (Dubai,U.A.E newspaper). I am not an avid fan of nail polish so didn't wear them until now.

All the instructions where provide so easy peasy!

Please note this is just a review on them and therefore my personal opinion.

I liked the colour , a simple solid colour so not too much going on with a crazy pattern, if you go to the website there are many nails to choose from, I was glad I got just the one colour as I am not an avid wearer of nail polish and certainly not fake nails. 

But I have to admit, this changed my view on fake nails. I liked that they didn’t look fake, just an ordinary coat of nail polish. 

The colour I got in the pack, I believe is called “Glisten Up” as it doesn’t say on the packaging (not good).

Simple and easy to get the nails out of the package. Included was a prep pad which you use before putting the nails on, kind of like a tissue with nail polish remover, I guess to remove any oils from the nails so the imPRESS nails stick on firmly. There are 24 nail covers in this pack - different sizes (definitely a plus).

Now on to the nails!

It was easy to apply but I found a few minor problems:

1. The tab on the nail (to expose the sticky side) sometimes was difficult to peel off, especially once you have some of the nails on.

2. Sometimes the nails didn’t fit my nails, either they where slightly too small (which I opted to wear) or slightly to big (which I also chose to wear depending on what looked better on the nail).

Apart from that, they nails stayed on until I took them off (after a few hours) and it was not that difficult to take off. 

Only downer is that I unfortunately bent a few of the nails on the corners, so I may not be able to re-use them (might do anyway if I can).

So that’s my review, I hope this helps!

I definitely recommend them if you do not want the fuss of applying nail polish, I will certainly buy a few more different colours to try.
