Recently, Influenster sent out a batch of Impress Press On Manicures ($10.99) for members to review and one of the design I received is part of the new Disney Villains Collection, it is called "Evil Queen".To see how these press on nails work, click.......
-Plastic press-on nails with adhesive strips adhered on the back side
-The kit comes with 24 nail of 12 sizes, mini buffer, and alcohol wipe
-No glue needed and lasts up to a week
Packaging:
The press-on nails come in a nifty plastic bottle shaped like a real nail polish bottle.
Each nail comes pre-separated and has adhesive strips on the backside.
To Use:
Find the correct size of nails. Wipe down clean nails with alcohol wipe and remove adhesive tab. Press nail down firmly and minimize contact with water for first 30 minutes.
To remove simply apply polish remover to sides of nails and peel off gently.
The kit I got I believe is the "short" kit, meaning it's designed for shorter nails. As a result, I actually had to trim down my nails quite a bit to wear them. I noticed the nails are really wide! I had a really hard time matching the nails to my own. I ended up with a few that didn't so well. From some of the photos you will also notice that there is quite a bit gap between my nails and the actual press-ons, it's filled by the adhesive, which is those strong squishy type, but the gap is still very noticeable and unattractive.
The application is easy and fast although it was really hard to pull the adhesive covering off of the adhesive. The removal was very easy and simple with some remover.
Also another small thing that bothered me was that there was a visible notch at the top of the nails that detracts from the "realness of the press-ons.
Overall:
I have to say unfortunately I am not a fan of these. I am quite fond of my natural nails so it was counterintuitive to try to apply press-ons that don't fit me at all. The pattern of "Evil Queen" is super cool and on trend but I think because the shapes of the nails are so wide and short, only certain folks will have luck fitting them on.
Have you tried these Impress Press-On Manicures? How did you like them?
