So a couple of weeks ago, I received a full sized imPRESS Press-on Manicure to review. I was very excited even though I am not a nail polish kind of girl. When I received the product, I was impressed. The packaging is great! It looks like a bottle of nail polish with the press on pieces shaped as nails inside. They are nicely packaged and are very presentable.

The package that I received has nice pale pink polish color with a nice ornate white embellishment on the tips. The color is called Chic Mystique. I opened the package, which was a slight challenge with today’s packaging standards. Once I was in, I was ready. I pulled out the instructions and went to work. They are very easy to apply on your nails and cute once they are on.

The Pros of imPress nails:

·         Quick and easy manicured look

·         Cheaper than a salon manicure

The Con’s of impress nails:

·         They come off way too easy. I found I was having them come off when I buttoned my pants or washed my hands.

·         They are fairly expensive in comparison to painting your nails.

·         They are not available in different sizes do the pre-shaped kits may not fit your nails.

I can easily see using these for a night out and keeping spares in my purse just in case I lose one. These would work for a night out, but not for everyday use. Ultimately, I would rather paint my nails or just have no polish on than to worry about losing one in the middle of a party.
