Impress Press On Nails

Impress Nails - £7.99 - Boots/Superdrug

Impress nails are basically stick on false nails. It's not a new idea but there has still be so much hype around this brand. I kind of want to put it down to the fact that they come in a nail varnish style bottle but it probably has more to do with the actual product. 

I'm not a false nail kind of girl, if i'm completely honest. If I do wear them I like them short, only just above the natural nail. I also can't wear them often as I have to have short nails to avoid scratching someone in netball. Netball twice a week and work on the weekend doesn't leave much time for falsies. However, these seemed easy (and well packaged) and I wanted to see if the hype was worth it. 

They are really fast to apply from start to finish. The longest part (which wasn't too long, if I'm honest) was finding the sizes to fit my nails. After this, you prep your nails with the prep pad provided. 

Then you just peel off the tab and stick the nail on. I found some of the tabs to be quite tricky to get off, I used my teeth at one point. I do not advise doing that! It isn't something that would put me off buying them again though.

DRESSING GOWN SHOT ANYONE?!

I did the mirror/dressing gown (yep) shot to try and get the true colour to show. The nails I bought were neon pink. I didn't keep the nails on as long as I wanted but decided to take them off so I wont comment on their durability, although the packaging states that they last up to a week. Taking them off was really simple, just like application. You either peel them off from the sides or dab nail varnish remover around the edges of wait a couple of minutes then take them off. I used the first method. 

I think I'll try the french manicure ones as I didn't really have any clothes that I felt my nails really went with but I'm sure if I was going out they'd look great. 

Have you tried them?

Hope you're all making the most of the last day of the jubilee bank holiday!
