imPRESS Press-On Manicure Review

Ever since I first saw imPress nails in Boots, I knew I wanted them. But I'm a novice when it comes to false nails. I struggle to do my every day tasks when I'm wearing them so I didn't want to spend the money on them. So when I was given the chance to sample them, I couldn't say no.
 I absolutely love the packaging. Even my sister says  it's possibly one of the coolest things she's ever seen. The nails are housed in a sturdy nail polish bottle and the bottle comes with 24 nail covers in 12 different sizes so you're bound to find a nail to fit yours. The beauty of these is that you don't glue them on. You simple peel the tab off the back, push them up to the cuticle, hold for about 5 seconds and tada, beautiful nails in an instant.  
 I was sent the colour 190 Call My Agent* which is the most beautiful, true red I've ever seen. I love this colour because it's great to wear with anything and I can see myself getting a use out of these nails. The whole stick on effect only lasts once. Once you've peeled off the sticker, applied them and then used them, you can't use them as press ons again. But you can use them as normal false nails which is good enough for me!
They last a really long time - up to seven days. The pictures above are the nails are 4 days and they were still going strong. Only one nail started to fall off and I'm guessing that's because when I first applied them, I started fiddling around with them. But a little bit of nail glue and they're as good as new again.
I really love these and I'm a true convert. I can see myself buying more packs. I'm especially interested in Rock ItEstatic ClingTGIF and Totally Busted
You can see more colours and designs here and these are available from Boots and Superdrug for £7.99 or £8.99 depending on the design you choose.
