Well, as I've mentioned in a previous post, the last time I'd tried a press-on manicure, I think I was 14. Needless to say, it was not at all imPRESSive (get it? :P) in any way, as I recall. I remember sitting there for the longest time trying to find the exact fit for my nails and being very disappointed in the fact that they just didn't have enough sizes, not to mention the over-all effect looked very unnatural.
The first thing I noticed about the imPress Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails was the sheer variety of sizes. I have pretty small hands and my nails tend towards slender, meaning that it can be hard to get the size just right when using this kind of manicure. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that in almost no time I had found the perfect sizes! While I was doing that, I had to smile to myself over my luck at the color I was sent. It's like they knew!
The next step was to use the included prep-pad, which smelled like it was nothing more than rubbing alcohol, to wipe over my fingernails before peeling off the backing on the nails and pressing them to my own nails. This was the part that took the most time as I wanted to make sure I aligned them correctly. (No one wants to walk around with crooked fingernails.)
It was that easy! And the results were not too shabby at all. Have a look for yourself:
Aside from everything else that I liked about these press-on nails, I really like the practical length. Too often these kinds of things are made to look super glamorous or high maintenance but these nails were just the right length to be pretty and still practical. I felt well-groomed, but not over-done. And finally, removal was a cinch! I just lifted the corner and carefully pulled them off.
