NOTD: Impress Press On Manicure in Shout

Revolutionary nail technology with no drying time, superior lasting shine, and easy removal. 24 nail covers in 12 sizes. 

How To Apply
1. Find the correct size for each nail
2. Lay out 10 nails in finger order
3. Cleanse natural nails with enclosed prep pad
4. For best adhesion, firmly apply nails, thumb nails last. 

How To Remove
1. Gently peel off from sides, or apply polish remover around edges, wait 1 minute, peel off. 

I chose Shout for my vacation because I felt like the tropical flower design was appropriate for my Florida trip. I have used these nails before, so I knew that I would get a whole week of wear out of them. I know a lot of girls have a hard time wearing these nails because of the shape of their nails, but these fit my nails like a glove. Because they fit so well I can get two complete manicures out of each package.

Shout, as previously stated, is a tropical flower design with pink, yellow, and black detailing. There is also a layer of blue iridescent glitter overlaying the yellow and black portions of the flowers. I received so many compliments on these while on vacation. No one could believe that they were press on nails. I like that they look so realistic on me and not overly fake.

When applying these nails I spend 30 seconds per nail pressing them down to make sure the adhesive sticks. I also make sure not to get them wet for a few hours following application. After that few hours though, I go about life as normal. These nails lasted just over a week for me before I got bored of them. I used copious amounts of hand sanitizer, went swimming, showered, washed dishes, etc. and I had no weakening of the adhesive or lost any nails.

The only thing I don’t like about these nails is that there is a plastic tab at the tip of each nail that, I believe, needs to be filed off. I don’t mind filing them though because I have to do that anyway to get my desired length. However, when you do file the tips it promotes peeling of the design sooner. By about day 3 I had peeling and very noticeable tip wear. The tip wear is ultra noticeable with these nails because the base is white.

Overall these nails provide me with the acrylic nail look at a fraction of the price. They also do not damage my nails like acrylics do.
